Member Testimonials
Everything has been great, always up to date with equipment and clean facilities
I LOVE the Cary Taylor YMCA, as a 70 year old man still at work, it greatly enriches my life!!
As 30+ yr Kenilworth neighbood residents, our family walks to the Y all the time! In 1992, when wife and I first moved in, the Oasis pool and tennis court were intended to be for our Parkway Kenilworth use. Along came the Cary Y, and since 1998, our 2 daughters grew up in pre-school, camps, team sports, and leaders club with the WONDERFUL YMCA staff!
I would rate Taylor a 10, but I am giving a 9 rating for my three minor complaints:
1) Behavior RULES have grown a lot over decades.
(in the POOL- if kids and parents are having pool frolic fun, you are breaking some rule!)
2) I miss the hot tub JACUZZI. But I understand the hot tub was underutiilized, and thus it was removed during locker room renovation!
3) BIGGEST minor complaint: STEAM ROOM is frequently BROKEN! I LOVE the men's steam room for hot stretching before or after an outdoor cycling ride. STEAM is my primary YMCA love. Please FIX and IMPROVE the STEAM room! Do NOT remove it!
Wonderful facility, great staff! Everyone is so friendly and the place is very clean and well equipped. I love the 'YMCA philosophy' and it is a fantastic organization. So blessed to be a member and frequent the Taylor Family YMCA.
Every thing is ok except the frequent steam sonar malfunctiom
Great sense of community! Best instructors in Cary!!
everything is looking really good at the ymca
I usually go to Alexander Family YMCA, which I like very much. I recently went to the Taylor Family YMCA to take a Friday class and it seemed very nice. Very bright with all the windows and the class I took was good.
Great
Great facility. Staff is always so upbeat and friendly.
Classes. It’s just hard to get in them since they fill up so quickly
Clean, welcoming, spacious, and have great classes.
Great classes, Christian values
the YMCA is an excellent facility and I thoroughly enjoy working out and the summer camps for my children. The reason I gave it a 9/10 instead of 10/10 are for two reasons:
1. men's steam room has been broken for a while - I understand this is actually pretty common though and not a super easy fix, but would be great if this was more consistent in 2025
2. only one cable cross machine by the treadmills which is usually being occupied
Great staff and a great environment. Thanks Taylor Y!
The staff at Taylor Family YMCA are great - friendly, helpful, and positive.
The people
I like that the classes have pretty consistent instructors and that there is now a good variety of classes offered after traditional work hours.
True Customer Service is dead, but not at YMCA
The staff and everyone there is so friendly. I consider the Y to be my second home.
The people, programs and instructors!
Variety of classes to choose from. Two facilities right here in Cary.
The staff, the convenience, and the activities and classes they offer.
Friendly, knowledgeable staff & good variety of classes
I love the ew addition of virtual options too!
It’s a happy atmosphere. That’s my favorite part. I love the variety of things to do. Could you stay open later on Sundays? Even til 6?
Friendly environment and always clean help is around
Friendly staff, great classes
The employees and gym attendees are always very friendly
The Taylor Y is a great place!
I start most of my mornings there and could not do without it. Staff is exceptionally friendly whether signing in, answering questions, making the rounds in workout locations or teaching. Class instructors are excellent and always make class interesting. The aquatic center is well run and is open for the span of many hours. Lifeguards and desk attendants are really dedicated to work such early shifts!
Thank you!!!

Comfortable for exercise
Clean facility like track
You have a nice gym. I have not taken advantage of the pool but plan to do so soon. I like that you take care of of kids as well.
My only complaint would be that the aerobics class at 9 AM is so loud that my ears hurt when in the balcony riding a bike. I took a picture in the balcony area once during an aerobics class and you can see all but one person in the balcony had ear buds to protect their ears. I can easily recognize the words to the aerobics songs despite having my ear buds on. That can’t be healthy for people.
