Member Testimonials
It’s the cleanest, most family friendly Y I’ve ever used. All the staff are apt to help, friendly, and they also all seem to be well groomed. I travel all over the country for work and this YMCA is my favorite by far.

The feeling of community
Wonderful facility and terrific instructors!
I like the variety of classes. Cardio Dance, Zumba, Belly Dance, and line dancing. I like the good energy the instructors have Lorissa, Byron, Tracie, and Kim. Good Vibes environment. They speak positivity and encouragement to the group.
Easy access from my home. Plenty of parking. Staff members always helpful. Instructors are very knowledgeable and experienced.
I throughly enjoy each class! Going on two years now and still pleased - all due to an invite from a family member!
The variety of group fitness classes.

Takes time to explain difficult moves before starting.
Great location and facility. Nothing not to like.
We love our membership
I love how diverse the clientele of this Y is and how much fun the group fitness classes are — I go to a lot of Zumba and Cardio. The classes are tough but have a relaxed party vibe.
Love the outdoor pool and what you are offering for the community!
We love our YMCA membership. We were very disappointed with our last visit. The front desk was aware that we were using the family showers. They failed to tell us there was no hot water.
Always enjoy the classes and instructors!! Wish there were towels at the front desk. At least small ones…
Everything is very good, I do have a couple of recommendations.
1.On busy nights 5Lb weights as well as benches not available.
2.People exercising and looking over rail in the way near the window and the corner of walking track
3.I like the nice smell when I enter the exercising area.
All employees doing a good job 👏
It’s clean, less crowded and the people are friendly
People are friendly and facilities awesome and always clean! Need a light bulb in the sauna at the downtown Poyner location, that's been forever out!!
The instructors & workouts offered.
The pool is really wonderful! I love that it’s now open all year round so I can teach my kids to swim and they can get practice consistently.
The facility is always clean.
All the natural light; the more intimate feeling because of the smaller size.
Southeast Y feels like a real community. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. I have recommended it to other members and non members.
Faculty and people and diversity

I love the location! I also appreciate the outdoor pool exercise options. The staff is always so positive and FUN.
