Member Testimonials
Tuesday 5/13 was my first time going to Poyner Family YMCA. I loved the class that I took and plan to come back and try more classes. Parking was easy and everyone was friendly.
You have to keep the towel service. That’s the main driver for using the facility.
Working out on different machines.
Downtown location, lots of light
Great Hot yoga and Warm Yin classes.
My only challenge is parking at times.
I loved the hot yoga class offered by Amy!
Friendly service and clean work out space and locker room
The YMCA is in a great location and has all the facilities we need.
Hours, staff and classes
Fantastic clean and new equipment, quite, very spacious. Very kind from desk staff.
There is great community at the Poyner Y! Love the staff!
The gym is beautiful and clean. The staff is amazing and the classes have top notch athletes
The customer service I received from my YMCA location is the best. I always feel like I'm welcome and that I'm coming back into a very positive environment where I can have a great workout.
Group fitness classes - mainly the wonderful instructors like Matt F, Audrey, Scott, and the list goes on!
Poyner YMCA is a wonderful facility. So modern and clean. I've been a YMCA of the triangle member since moving to Raleigh 11 and the Poyner Y is a great addition to the branches and to downtown.
Clean love the warm & hot yoga classes
Gosh, everyone is SO friendly. I feel like family there.
Big, well-maintained, and lots of room. At many gyms I can never get time on a squat rack or other equipment, but there’s always room here and super grateful for it.
Everyone is very friendly and the gym has everything I need. Classes are also great too!!
Great weight room. Very clean.
I recently found that the Poyner Family YMCA has a dedicated Hot Yoga Studio. I took a class this Tuesday April 22 at 12:00 and the instructor was amazing. I love hot yoga and now that I know that the YMCA in downtown Raleigh has this beautiful studio I am looking forward to take more classes at Poyner even if I have to drive all the way from Clayton, NC.
I also want to try to cycling classes since I also like indoors cycling. The facility is very clean, the bathroom and the showers as well.
I have been a member with the YMCA since I lived in Massachusetts and now that I live in NC I also like it. I would recommend the Y to anyone.
It’s convenient, it’s full service with tons of amenities, the staff is wonderful and there’s a super community of regulars there. One of the best YMCAs I have been a part of!
One of my happy places is definitely Poyner YMCA!!! Always tidy and friendly atmosphere.
Great atmosphere with high ceilings and lots of natural light!
I like that it is close to my work, so I can walk there. It's also rarely crowded so I can use the machines I prefer.
Great yoga teachers and studio--and the kindest, most helpful front desk folks! The cold lavender towels handed out after hot yoga....chef's kiss.
Flexibility in schedule, when the facility extended the gym hours that was huge plus for me.
Good teachers and classes.
Great classes free parking
I have just joined and enjoy the facility downtown
