Member Testimonials
Good location, friendly staff and a well layed out space. Equipment functions well.
Staff is super friendly! The gym is clean!
Early morning staff are awesome. They make sure the towels are ready to do for the morning crowd. Also, very friendly and responsive when equipment or cleanliness problems are identified
Variety of equipment and convenience
It's never too crowded, always clean, with a great staff. It's almost like a boutique gym in its look and feel. Also, hot yoga isn't something you find at my Y's. ...and if you can't find street parking (which is rarely an actual problem) there's a free parking deck across the street!

Good teachers. Love warm yoga! Front staff are very welcoming.
I enjoy the yoga classes and it's nice to have a location that is convenient to walk to.
The Poyner YYMCA is the heartbeat of downtown Raleigh. Thank you, especially for the lunchtime classes that allow so many of us to keep up with our fitness routines. There is truly something here for everyone. And I love the very warm positive and welcoming staff.
Poyner has a good variety of classes. The staff is knowledgeable and welcoming.
Easy to schedule classes, lots of options, good value.
I love love love the front desk staff always friendly welcoming, on point and upbeat.
As well as every teacher I’ve taken class with.
I love the towels already inside the locker room!
Love the bigger showers!
Love the yoga community Poyner fosters!
The hot yoga classes are amazing.
I’m a big fan of the heated yoga classes
A pleasant, friendly environment with many yoga offerings and an easy-to-use online booking system.
I love this gym - but if there was anyway to stay open until 6:30 or 7 pm on Fridays, that would be a big help. For anyone that routinely leaves work at 5 pm, it's difficult to make it to this Y location on Fridays.
Thank you for all that you do!
Friendly staff. Good assortment of equipment for various types of training. Nice mix of classes available. Very convenient as it is around the corner from our home.
People with respect at any time of the day and thank you ymca,poyner
I liked the hot yoga
The studios and yoga classes are great!
Instructors (Alison, Maya, Charlotte, Jeff, Erin) are all fantastic. The Community of folks who attend the Yoga and Cycling classes have become like family. And, I can get there easily mid-day from my office downtown!
Location is super convenient for where I work and live. And now the free 2 hr parking in decks helps a lot.
I really enjoy the experience at Poyner YMCA. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The gym is always clean. It's not the largest facility, but it's incredibly convenient for those working downtown. The equipment variety meets my needs. I suggest the Y to all my coworkers and friends that work downtown.
It’s always clean, I enjoy having towel service, the machines are generally in good working condition, the location is perfect and with free city parking now, it’s easier to park than at Alexander.
