Member Testimonials
I love the staff, especially Pam at the front desk. She’s always smiling and laughing and it automatically brings a smile to your face and she says hi to you by name. She’s so sweet! They all are!
Love it
Hot yoga classes are amazing. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
We live close to Poyner making it very convenient. The staff are super friendly and supportive. The wellness floor has a wide range of equipment to do both strength, core and cardio work. I also like the fact that on occasion I can go to other YMCA facilities not just in Wake County but also across the country.
Very convenient. 2 hr free parking.
The hot room is unique. Great classes. The facilities are new and clean. Friendly staff.
The down town location is a destination experience. Instead of at a dead parking lot, you are in the middle of downtown.
Clean and convenient.
The front desk people are very very nice and friendly. Facility is great as well
Very welcoming staff at reception. Clean facility. Wonderful Friday morning yoga class.
The hot yoga sculpt class on Fridays is great. The instructors and yoga studio are fabulous. I would love if the gym stayed open until 6:30pm on Fridays to provide time to shower after this class.

Great place with fantastic classes!
Good teachers and classes, staff are friendly and welcoming to all:). Diversity of members:)
My problem was fixed quickly- thanks!
The Poyner YMCA staff says hello with a genuine smile to every member who checks in. The locker room (women’s) is always clean and stocked. The hot yoga studio is magnificent, and the instructors are amazing. They aren’t just yoga instructors guiding through poses; they uplift their classes with encouragement, and have me leaving with a newfound positivity every time. A shoutout to Cody and Scott who are just best!
Friendly staff, great facility and convenient location.
The staff is super friendly and helpful. Great equipment. Love the downtown location!

Great. I drive 20 minutes to do hot yoga. Any chance we can have all classes be 60 minutes?
Great staff! Amazing instructors (esp Erin and Patrick) -- and a nice offering of classes :) It's always clean and the machines/weights are kept in good order!
Great yoga instructor

It's a nice place to get a quick workout in downtown. I like how the place is clean and has a good variety of equipment. I also like how there are classes at the bottom floor to join too.
We love the poyner Y! The hot yoga is such a great addition. Thanks!
Convenience, hot yoga
Friendly staffs, nice and new equipment
It’s posh! It’s easy to access once you know about area parking ( no need to stalk people for a spot as we do at beloved Alexander). I love the floor in the yoga room and warmth.
Clean facility with friendly staff. I always feel welcome and have the space I need to accomplish my workout.

Welcoming staff, great instructors, hot yoga, and fluffy towels. Always a positive experience there. Appreciate the free 2 hour parking in city deck too.
