Would like to see posted in work out area "As a courtesy to all members,, please refrain from cell phone, face time conversations while working out. Thank you"
I recently joined the Y and I must say I was truly impressed with the up keep of the facility. The bathrooms were clean and well kept. Everyone follows instructions regarding the wiping down of the equipment after use. I truly enjoyed the towel service provided to the members, those small things truly make a difference. Overall I was impressed with the pristine condition of the place and all the amenities that are offered.
Thank you Y and all its members.
The Tuesday Cycling class led by Jeff are awesome! Pam and Pam are always welcoming, and the location rocks when you are downtown!!
The variety of classes, the cleanliness of the facility, the facilities, and the instructors and staff are above and beyond from what I’ve experienced in a few other gyms in the area.
Wonderful staff, great lo lmachines
Love HOT YOGA
Beautiful facility- spacious, modern, well lit. Looks like an upscale gym. No kids running around if you’re interested in that environment. Very nice staff.
Enjoyed my class very much
Great instructors and fun group fitness classes. And I can do weights one day, barre the next and yoga after that, so good variety too.
Very convenient location, wish it had more classes, especially barre

Location; Friendliness/Helpfulness of employees; Hours of operation
Staff are all friendly and helpful. Facilities are what I need.
I get anxiety from sensory overload in larger, busier gyms, so I'm so thankful that Poyner is a smaller and quieter alternative to Alexander. Friendly staff, too!
very friendly and helpful staff
Friendly atmosphere, lots of options
My first time visiting Poyner was very good. I didn’t know there was a YMCA downtown Raleigh. After checking in, with the “Y” closing in ten minutes, I did a quick walkthrough. I came back the next day and did the Hot Yoga class. The ladies were very friendly and helpful with explaining the programs and scheduling. Now I’m on my own schedule going 2-3 times a week at Poyner.
The facility is within walking distance of my house and the staff are very pleasant. I also like the hot yoga studio and classes!
The facility is so clean, and I love hot yoga
