Member Testimonials
I like Poyner's atmosphere.
How clean and organized the place is all the time. People are very generous when comes to sanitation. The staff are very professional.
Location convenience, cardio machines, clean restrooms. Limited hours make it more challenging sometimes.
Kind staff, beautiful marble building, the sauna, it’s really the only Y I go to these days. I’ve also convinced my friend to join. Trying to get others, but I’ve made so many friends there!
My first time to hot yoga. Power Sculpt was fun. The instructor was welcoming. Her playlist was different each time and just my vibe. I forgot to get the weights at the start of my 2nd class though and all the appropriately sized ones ran out. Looked at it as a challenge; it was still awesome and awesomely hard. Just what I need for a Saturday. I feel no need for an additional workout afterwards.
Yoga teacher Patrick classes are excellent
Clean comfortable room and front staff is so warm. & welcoming
Love this privilege to be a member
Well it is a co venue t location and I especially love the hot yoga/ hot Pilates . All the classes in the hot studio as it is the only location that I utilize that has that.
This was my first time using the Poyner Y. It was fantastic. It is literally across the street from my office, so it is so convenient. There's a good variety of classes available around the lunch hour. Also, the classes aren't typically full, so I don't have to worry about signing up ahead of time and then not being able to make it due to work stuff coming up, then getting a strike. I can sign up as I am walking across the street. The locker room was super clean and had plenty of room. It was so easy to get refreshed and head back to work! I'll be going again!
Hot yoga classes
I love the hot yoga studio and the teachers are fantastic!
People at the front are very pleasant 🙂 The instructors are superstars. The gym floor is bright & clean, lots of variety, never overcrowded. Its a really nice place.
Great facility that is convenient. Friendly staff. Clean. Never too busy.
The staff are great. I also love the more intimate setting. The facilities are well maintained.
great experience! friendly and knowledgeable staff
Yoga facilities at Poyner are excellent plus!
Honestly this is the best YMCA I've visited in the Triangle so far. The hot yoga studio is so wonderful and the teachers are amazing. I feel so lucky to have something like this included in my membership. What a great value! The whole facility looks so nice but I haven't gotten to use the other equipment yet. You guys also keep the sauna at the perfect temperature.
I like the friendly staff and the hot classes. I wish there were better bike racks. There is only space for two bikes at a time now, so if the bike rack is full I have to leave without being able to go to the gym.
I love Maya, Patrick and Scott!
I'd really like there to be an early 0605 or 610 weightlifting class in the mornings at poyner.
Thank you!!
The warm yoga room was spacious and amazing.
The spin room was set up
So you could see the instructor, motivational.
The staff was wonderful and gracious.
Great class options for lunch group-workouts.
Everything!!
I love Poyner Y and enjoy working with my trainer Darrian.
Great facility and staff!
I like the convenient location
So clean and super staff!
Location, staff, that you’ve introduced a yoga class that is not heated. One thing I recommend is to add another thick stretching mat back by the free weights so that there are three of them as there’s ample space for that and often times both are taken.
The classes and hot yoga studio are excellent. Parking and safety are the only primary concerns. Are there plans to address this? Thanks!
Very nice and clean place. Has all the classes and workout equipment that I need.
Good
I graded you down a point this time because we aren't happy with the way Pam was treated. We don't know your side of the story, but what we're hearing sounds very unprofessional on the part of the YMCA.

The staff is the best! The environment is clean, uncrowded and offers great classes.
