Member Testimonials
I love the community engagement, the programs for young and older folks and the friendly knowledgable welcoming staff.
Everything, how they keep it clean, the friendly members that come there, the facility, location, a magnificent staff!! from the top down, always friendly and respectfully.
They all keep a strict guideline for rules of the Y and I LOVE IT, Being a retired Navy & two time Gulf war veteran, I truly believe in having structure with Rules And they do!!
Leadership start from the top, Dexter does a superb job!!! As the director of the facility alone with the Asst Director Kinnard (please forgive if I misspell your name), all the beloved staff members, from the front desk to the less visual staff members or volunteer, like keeping the towels in stock from the pool too the upstairs workout area, to the maintenance personnel, bathroom cleaners.. etc.. it’s a TEAM EFFORT!!
Can’t thank you enough!! Cassandra, your front desk staff is the best, Tracy you run a tight and well organized staff alone with all your personal trainer, upstairs in workout area and making sure rules are follower , Walter part timer worker can always be depended on!! When he there,
A well ran Pool area!! Superb leadership,
I may not say much, but I see many wonderful and beautiful things, you can tell they all love their work, to watch them work is like a neurosurgeon with a scalper in his or her hand separating siamese twins with a team of dedicated supporters to make sure the mission and goal is completed & accomplish.
We absolutely love the Y of southeast Raleigh. The whole vibe, culture, and quality of staff/facilities is top notch. We send our son to summer camp, confidently knowing that he is in the best hands possible. Totally a believer in the community and people that represent this location!
I love the classes, the people, and the overall environment.
Kind Staff. Clean facilities. You have fostered a unique environment, where most patrons are respectful when in classes, working into reps, and in passing at the gym/track. I always recommend this location to people when they are considering YMCA memberships as it brings the best of the triangle with their offering (diverse staff, patrons, and classes). I especially love that they have partnerships with the community, even if it's just being a host location: Black Farmers Market, early voting, & often see the food bank distribution on Saturday mornings.
This was my first time visiting this YMCA, and I really liked it and my kids to it’s so clean and teams there are so friendly, i highly recommend it

I love the instructors at the Southeast Y! They are so encouraging and helpful (especially Kim). I use three of the Triangle Y’s, and Southeast Raleigh is my favorite!
My experience has been a positive one. I enjoy recreational close to home. It's a good location, a beautiful building, and the staff is great.
The weight room is never too busy to get a good work out in. Staff are very nice. The kids program really excels, Kristen is great! Sauna is always working and very hot.

The staff is friendly and the people who come are also outgoing and personable. I feel good every time I go for a class.
easy parking. pool. new facilities. friendly staff.
It is convenient. The staff behind the desk are happy and enthusiastic and helpful.
I’m not a fan of having to go into the building to check into the pool. It’s especially frustrating to have to do that. There must be a better solution to the problem the indoor check-in is solving.
I wish there were a small selection of cold items available for purchase at the pool. Popsicles or drinks or ice.
