YMCA of the Triangle

Just received a letter in the mail informing us that our membership fees are increasing my 11.4% This is the 2nd increase within the last year. Unfortunately, my family and I can not afford the increasing cost of the Y and will have to terminate our membership. This is sad news since we left a previous gym to help reduce our family bills. This is not good for our family!

My daughter is in after school care in which she could not attend due to being unexpectedly hospitalized. When I reached out about assistance I was told that they would not switch weeks for care due to policy that does not mention hospitalization specifically. As a organization that is supposed to be for the community seems more about the profit than helping a family in need.

I don't like how the Y makes you pay for an entire membership. My time is as such that I could still come to the water aerobics class like I used to. I don't want to pay a full membership for just one class. It used to be where you could purchase a punch card, go to the class, get in the steam room afterwards. AWESOME EXPERIENCE!!!!! I want the powers-that-be to really consider having "a la carte" services. I have two more people in my community who wants this as well and I am sure there are more. We are near the Danville Virginia YMCA.

The hours are terrible especially if u play basketball. It’s a Saturday and they have no gym time 🤦🏾‍♂️ That’s terrible. And on Sunday they open at 1 and close early. Just get a lifetime membership.they put volleyball and jump rope over basketball 😭😂.

Had 3 unpleasant experiences at A.E Finley with 70 year old men being bullys. First was the horrible conversation allowed at fitness tables full of hate for others that are different. Then one brushed up against me because he didn’t like my pace on the indoor track. The counselor said, “he didn’t mean it.” The 70 yr iold and I got in a shouting match. I canceled my Y membership. I canceled my adult daughters. But you know, the bullys won.Triangle, you can do better. You will never change with aggressive mean members.
