Member Testimonials
The Poyner Y is a great place to be! Group fitness instructor Anna Beth continues to have fun, energetic, and physically challenging classes that push me to be stronger every time I take her class!
It has hot yoga
Convenient location, desired equipment, not too crowded, open space
The yoga studio with its warmth and darkness makes Yin Yoga so much better than other environments. Sinead led an awesome class on Saturday. Patrick is great. We have been very happy with all the instructors. The front desk people are friendly. Only drawback is parking in the ramp after dark isn't comfortable. If my husband is out of town, I don't go. Some sort of available"bodyguard" escort would be helpful after an evening class.
Instructors for the Studio 2 classes (hot pilates fusion, yoga flow, power sculpt) are excellent--on their game, caring, effective. Staff are always welcoming. It's clean. We are very happy with our family membership.
The excellent classes, instructors and welcoming staff! Locker rooms are always clean.
They are real cool and full of love and respect
Really would like more than 2 hours free parking.

Cleanliness and staff friendliness.
Hot studio with great instructors
I like the classes offered & the friendly staff.
Contrary to what some may think…..parking is a breeze! Everyone is friendly and the yoga classes are great.
I like that it has hot yoga classes whereas the other locations near me do not. Both Hot Yoga classes with Cody T and Patrick R have been awesome. I also really enjoy Spinning with Jeff. I do not live close and I work FT so it is hard to make the drive over but when I do, I always feel amazing after each class.
it's very clean and have friendly staff!
The hot yoga classes and the dedicated studio is the best in the Triangle. The instructors bring a superb energy in every class they teach. The staff is friendly and welcoming and the facilities are clean and beautiful.
Great classes and excellent instructors are the reason why we continue going back to the Poyner YMCA. The hot yoga studio is wonderful.
Love the Pilates and Sculpt classes at Poyner! Grace, Amanda, Cody and Sloan are absolutely amazing teachers!
On a separate note, it would be great if the bathrooms downstairs would get cleaned on a regular basis. The faucets also don’t stay on long and the water is always cold…
Also shout-out to the front desk staff who are always very welcoming! Really appreciate their towel folding, too
Cleanliness and classes

Staff is very friendly and welcoming. The workout studios are great and the facility is always well-equipped. Instructors are top-notch!
Very nice! Welcome desk was friendly and helpful. Locker room clean and nice
Poyner is so welcoming and inclusive! The staff is caring and warm. They’re genuinely curious about what members want and need in terms of offerings. They truly live into belonging.
The hot yoga classes are great. Some instructors are popular and fill up classes - I’d replace the ones that aren’t with new instructors.
More hot yoga classes would be good.
I wish there was a lap pool
