Member Testimonials
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.
Love the staff, hot yoga
The instructors at Poyner & Southeast Raleigh are classy, kind, & wonderful & incredibly awesome teachers to boot! Simply the best.
Clean and great location. Has everything you need for weight lifting or cardioc
Enough equipment, reliable equipment, no frills but also I don't feel like I'm being skimped.
Instructors are so great—I’m really impressed with the quality of the classes
Hot yoga is the best!
I like the modern nature of the gym and the class offerings.
We need more bike racks!
Its simplicity.
Group fitness classes, the instructors and the facilities combine to make Poyner a great place!
Big enough to have all the equipment I need, small enough that I can easily locate! Great staff!
Very friendly and knowledgeable staff, beautiful facilities, lots of hot yoga and pilates classes
The staff is friendly and helpful. Equipment is well maintained and the space is clean. I'm particularly appreciative of the Pride flags in the lobby this month. It feels good to support a facility allied with the LGBTQ community. Thank you!
Friendly staff, not too crowded, mostly downtown professionals on work breaks.
Updated, clean and convenient
Very clean.

Easy to schedule classes, lots of options, good value.
