Near work. Clean. Friendly. Good classes. Good equipment
Hot yoga with Alaina, Dana, and Grace!
Great please, clean I hate to be annoying but please refill the towel holders in the bathrooms
I like that it's not overly crowded like Alexander YMCA.
Not many folks
The facility and all offerings are a welcomed break during the work week. Having the adjacent snack shop is definitely a part of the vibe. Thank you for the flexible operating hours & group classes as well.
Everyone on staff is warm, friendly, patient and supportive. Joy and Pam are very good and really knowledgeable. Always have a kind and proactive way of talking to bring out the best in us. They have our backs!!
Staff, location, community-feel
The cleanliness of the facility. The staff is friendly and helpful.
I like the setting and atmosphere.
I have only gone to Poyner YMCA about 10 times, for hot yoga. The class is always full and lots of fun. All of the teachers are very nice.
New facilities, not very crowded.
Love the yoga and pilates classes! Wish there was a pool in downtown!
Nice equipment; friendly staff.
warm and hot yoga
I really like the location and open floor plan of the Poyner YMCA. The gym area has all the necessary equipment, it's on the same level as the locker rooms, and the TVs are great just for "background" viewing.
I would also like to suggest assault bikes for fitness as an addition to the fitness equipment. I am recovering from a knee surgery and it would be awesome to have another option for low resistance cardio workouts.
Thank you!
Location, people, and the gym seems very clean and open.

Staff and facilities.
Beautiful facility. Great classes. Only negative is having to pay for parking during business hours.
Great!
I have enjoyed yoga at times here and as a space to clean up after a downtown run
The location is great.
It is typically not as busy as the one closer to us. I also love the warm/hot yoga classes.
Small space with great equipment in downtown
Community involvement and excellent facility
That was my first hot yoga class. I thought it was very cool (no joke!) The facility was very clean and everyone I encountered was helpful. I would like to ride my bike there next time, though I am not sure about where to lock it up yet. I will definitely go back again.
The two "Pams" at the front desk are friendly and helpful, and the location is perfect for those of us who work downtown. Also-I take a lot of cycling classes at Alexander and Kraft, and the Poyner facility is hands down better than either...shout out to Jeff too, who in his role as an instructor is really engaging while making the 45 minutes totally worth it!
I love the location- it's great to be able to go to a downtown gym on Fayetteville Street and be able to get in/out quickly without a lot of fuss. I also appreciate that they have a sled to push/pull, it's great to change up my workouts and keep things interesting
