One of the employees “jasmine” was VERY rude tonight. while walking inside we heard her yelling at people before we could unpack to put on our basketball gear. she was even yelling at people that wasn’t rude to her & there was small altercation that happened with a few guys but instead of kicking them out individually, the WHOLE gym was kicked out including the people that JUST checked in. i feel like the situation could have been handled more professionally but she was taking her anger out on others for no reason, especially when you don’t have that authority to do so. BUT off duty employee Tye was very helpful & very nice & handled everything professionally & kept everybody calm.

My kids loved this summer camp! They had so much fun with Ms. Lilly and Mr. Charles when they came 2-3 weeks ago! They can’t wait to come back next year

Really awesome gym, super clean, super nice staff!! They also have a steam room and dry sauna which I love.

Great classes. Nice indoor pool. Friendly. And they have a smoothie and food shop in the lobby.

Everything is great but please extend your hours during the weekend!

For me, its a great place to workout and hangout. Many good people there

I like it I go to Martin Luther king road but other than that it’s a nice place for kids love who they have there y sighs for kids in order to be respectful

Will update this review depending on managements response to my treatment by a front desk employee here.

I live in the apartment next to the YMCA and they have really loud outdoor workout classes every morning and evening. Multiple complaints have been made and they have never turned down the volume. One time I was doing an online interview and the company said that it was unprofessional that I wasnt in a quiet place for the interview and I ended up not getting the job because of it.

This YMCA location is top-notch! The location, amenities, coffee area and small chapel are all superb. The only REAL down side to this specific location are the front desk people whose job is to check-in/check-out members. Instead of focusing on their jobs, they find it fit to judge/gossip about the members among themselves: how a member talks, how he/she dresses, how short/long time the member spends at the gym, etc. This is none of their business as long as the Y’s policies are followed. Perhaps they are engaging in this type of disrespectful and disgraceful behavior because foot traffic is low, due to Covid, so they are looking for ways to pass their time. It could also be they had bad people in the past so they started to stupidly assume that everyone is bad.If I was the Director of this facility, I would keep these folks occupied so they don’t have time to engage in this unprofessional (but highly VISIBLE!) workplace behavior, in a desperate attempt to make paying members uncomfortable.

This is overall a very nice YMCA. It’s pretty clean and modern looking and has good equipment and adequate machines. Small indoor track though. Black rims are pretty good and the steam room and sauna or nice, although they get pretty packed. Towel service and locker locks are a nice service.

FOUR power racks, lots of room, and good staff...

I come here every day after school and it is great. I have met some of my best friends here. The staff are so welcoming and helpful. This YMCA has particularly good aftercare and summer programs.

I love this place. Its big, spacious, and the workers are friendly. On Saturdays if you plan to run on the track, get there before 9 to avoid the crowd. Despite that, I love running here. The cafe downstairs is my favorite post work out spot. I always get the protein shake with cookie butter and it is the bomb!! You will not be disappointed!

Ive gone to various YMCA locations around Raleigh over the years as Ive moved. This location is the most adjacent to where I currently live. They have plenty of weights, several racks, and tons of machines. My only complaint is that is gets ridiculously hot on the top level during the summer. So much so, Ive needed to leave early. It sucks because its pretty great other than that.

I love the facilities in general. I mainly come here to run and lift weights. After I work out, I can enjoy a nice, hot shower. This is a great place to go! If I plan to go to NC State soon, I like how there is a YMCA right nearby the campus.

One of the nicest in the area. Layout of weight equipment is a little weird and it take some time to find everything. They could rearrange and consolidate to improve that. Also needs more fans or HVAC improvements as certain areas get too warm

Great staff, child care does fantastic w my kids, love this place

A good sized gym with plenty of equipment. Large locker room with a sauna and steam room. The staff is very friendly and helpful with anything that you may need. Parking is never an issue even during peak hours.

Solid gym. Ample parking, easy in and out access. Love the basketball court.

Nicest YMCA I have ever been to. Classes, lots of weights, basketball court, pool, track- they have everything, even a sauna! I love the classes and the instructors are great. Lots of parking but does get busy.

I was asked to leave because I wanted to use the bathroom, I was going to put in a membership next week but nevermind, I do not recommend. They said I was “breaking the rules” because I didn’t sign the sheet yesterday when I came in but my name was up there because I signed it before I left.

Convenient for where I live-awesome classes-great staff and the sauna is my favorite to relax after workout!

This location (and many others) violates the “Americans with Disabilities Act” aka ADA aka Handicap. I’ve just moved to downtown Raleigh and took a class at this YMCA last Friday and was EXTREMELY disappointed that the only available ADA parking was taken up by not one but TWO landscaping trucks. The landscapers were very obviously working on the ymca lawns, and therefore must have had permission from the staff. Tisk tisk!! Just think of it your grandma was made to park across the street and walk on her bad knee and tib/fib injuries all so that the lawn looks nice. I’m going to attempt to contact management, but if there’s no resolution, I will be forced to report this to the ADA authorities (it is enforced and fines can be assessed). Please take this manner seriously!!!

I obviously love the place because Ive been working out there for years! Staff is super friendly.

One of the nicest YMCA locations Ive been to. Three squat racks, ample space for deadlifting, plus foam rollers and other useful odds and ends. Honored my Florida AWAY membership.

This is a really nice YMCA and the first one I have been to that is three stories. It has plenty of equipment and everything is kept in good shape.

Clean, beautiful, and well-supplied facilities. I was a member here for over a year and would gladly continue to be if I hadnt moved. Staff is very friendly. They have almost any kind of equipment you could ask for.

Having a work out with an amazing stuff.

Good gym while traveling. Honored my membership from Kansas City Mo

I really like this place. I go around three to four times a week.All the staff is very friendly. The facility itself is clean and up-to-date.As time has gone on it seems that the locker room has gotten smaller and smaller. Less keys to less lockers are available. Not because they are being used but I think the key is either missing or the locker itself is broken.

Looked for a gym and afterschool program. Looked up YMCA , got assistance $, we took a tour of this facility, outstanding STAFF......Amazing is the word!....so many things to do and access! Cant wait to get started

Good size gym . Plenty parking . Steam dry Sauna . Good size locker . Lots good classes . Nice big locker room with massages , barber shops and old guys chillin.

They dont let you play basketball unless youre a member. Nice facility but goes against EVERYTHING YMCA stands for. Complete waste of a nice facility. Do NOT go here

Its a clean and friendly place to work out

Awesome facility, great staff, I started 15 months ago at 352..down to 257 today...Leave all judgements and preconceived notions at the door when you arrive and use it for a vehicle of change and personal growth. .

One of the worst run YMCAs in the triangle. Equipment selection is limited. ONE stairclimber and a million treadmills that nobody uses. Meatheads constantly dropping weights. Mens locker room filled with uncouth males who routinely blow snot in the shower stalls; Steamroom smells like sweaty socks due to guys entering it in full PT gear and not following YMCA rules. I ended up quitting the YMCA and joining a professional health club - Lifetime Fitness. Overcrowded especially at the beginning of the day. Doesnt open until 1pm on Sundays.

Terrific leadership and staff. Great services, facilities and focus on the community.

Wonderful group classes. Great facility.

Worst YMCA Ive ever been to, by far. I thought this place was founded on its Christian values and they certainly dont uphold that standard as employees. They need to work on their hospitality or take the C out of their name.

Good place to work out also you meet people of your faith who share there LOVE for God

I have been a member/participant since moving here in 2013 with the Alexander YMCA. The staff and supervision when we first started using the summer camp in 2013 was exemplary. Responsible, young adults that were able to co-operatively manage children in a nurturing way. Evermore its children minding children, and the buck is being passed in such a way that is truly alarming. Ive never had an issue until this past summer. It was overcrowded, understaffed, fundamentally underprepared. Never was a permission slip issued for any of the field trips, children are allowed to do as they wish for unknown amounts of time, and rules are not adhered to, until something goes wrong. Another child was allowed to bring their phone to camp, and numerous children were allegedly looking at improper material, while none of the staff witnessed any such event, witness was taken by children against other children. Instead of taking into account that due to their own underage understaffing, Noone was supervising these children! They instead chose to pass the buck to the parents, (none of whom were present)to avoid possible litigation. Before notifying the custodial parent of one of the children, they called DHS. DHS!!!! For a supposed non profit, that costs over a thousand dollars for a 10 week summer camp, excluding those fortunate enough to receive their paltry scholarships this is reprehensible . Where does the money go? Majority of the supervision is basically an intern like position as young as 13. I wont be returning to the Alexander YMCA. For the money, I can definitely find better childcare, and for the experience, Im sure theres a state funded free daycare that is comparable.

The staff at this Y are very friendly and nice. The facility is all the time clean and not crowded.

Its awesome u cant beat a pool sauna steam room workout facility indoor track...just needs a jacuzzi and Ill sign up

Great place, but Sunday hours need to be expanded.

It well kept and is very space efficient

All the staff are friendly. A overall great place for the family. My daughter lobes the childcare room.

Worth the drive, the money, and time! So many ammenities for myself and my family (i.e. Swimming, sports, fun and exciting exercise classes, and updated workout equipment and space)!

Nice facilities but could use extra staff in certain areas.

I think this is the best place to take notes on how to swim

Nice gym with a friendly staff. I really like the Alexander Y.

I have a complaint about the lack of freedom in the homework room.

Ive been a member for 18 years and simply love this facility! My entire family utilizes it.

Nice place, friendly people.Thank you YMCA.

The place is nice and clean but the bathroom tiles are filthy and the mens showers tile is very filthy and their are lots of OLD CREEPY GUYS THAT HIT ON YOUNGS GUYS..ITS REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE TO BE IN THE STEAM ROOM & SAUNA WITH THOSE CREEPY GUYS LOOKING...AND CAN U REPORT IF ANYONE TOUCHES YOU INAPPROPRIATLY BC OLD GUYS ARE NASSTY AND FILTHY..

They could do a lot more.

Awesome place to workout and build community!

Family atmosphere and great place to work out!

Super crowded and equipment seemed a bit dated for weights and there wasnt much of it.

Love this place,everyone is so friendly!!!!

Really inconveniente and over crowded

Great gym and basketball

It is good
