My son enjoys going to this Y and the staff are very friendly
Parking is easy. The music as I walk to the front door is uplifting. Chushenna’s yoga classes are my favorite way to wring all the stress from my body. The movement, music and her guiding us to trust ourselves is powerful.
Anthony Simmons and his staff do an incredible job of being intentional with the product they put forth, while also making it fun and meaningful for the kids they encounter. The parents earn their trust and the players earn their respect because they leave a better player than when they started.
My child really enjoys the programming at SERY. Anthony Simmons is an incredible sports director, very skilled and also cares a lot about the kids.
Thank you Southeast Raleigh YMCA for offering top notch youth basketball programming. For both the younger and older age groups, the program was well organized, the competition was great, and the coaches were supportive while also holding the players accountable. This is what makes them better.
For the older age group, Anthony Simmons curated an experience that the city should be proud of. The summer session allowed some of the top high school players to compete and showcase their elite talent amongst their peer group in a safe, challenging, competitive, family friendly environment. It was memorable, down to the last shot of the championship game. I know my kids are in the right place when they are at Southeast.
I really enjoyed the development and learning aspect of the YMCA sports experience. I appreciated how the coaches would take the time to stop during the game, teach the players, and explain what they could do differently to improve. It created a positive basketball environment that focused not only on competing, but also on learning, building confidence, and developing skills. I truly appreciate the time, patience, and effort of the coaches and everyone who helped make the summer league such a positive and successful experience for the kids.
Very good experience with coaches and players
The year round heated pool.
I love that there are Tai Chi classes here! We do Yang style and classes are geared for both beginners and people with some experience.
I just started with personal training for the first time in several years. My personal trainer is pretty new but works hard and I am learning a lot from her.
The staff is responsive and friendly.
It’s a clean, well-run place. I like the fact that there’s a school there, shaping young lives.
The space and the staff are inviting. I especially enjoy the outdoor pool and its fitness classes.
Good sense of community and variety of classes
I loved everything about the Southeast Raleigh YMCA Day Camp experience, especially the Camp K and CILT programs. The staff were welcoming, supportive, and engaged with the kids. The activities were fun, well organized, and gave them opportunities to learn, build confidence, make friends, and enjoy their summer. Communication was strong, and I felt comfortable knowing they were in a positive and safe environment. Both programs provided an excellent experience, and I would highly recommend Southeast Raleigh YMCA Day Camp to other families.
Community, the staff listens to suggestions and supports the THRIVE programming.

I love the community environment and the diversity of the members! The staff are very friendly and always willing to help.
