Member Testimonials
Staff and facilities are top notch!
My favorite group fitness instructor, Crystal, teaches Pilates here. I try to come every week because it has been so amazingly helpful to reduce back pain and build strength. It’s also really fun! I like the group workout studio space and the locker rooms are nice.
There is free coffee, up-to-date equipment, and it is very clean!

Clean, friendly staff and not crowded.
Friendly staff, great equipment, never crowded
The Y at American Tobacco is a superbly well-organized, clean and friendly space. The equipment is kept in top notch shape and is the the best I’ve seen. I’ve been going to the Y since I was a teen in Nashville, TN. Now, middle-aged, I can say that this is one of the two best Ys I’ve used-truly above par!!
Friendly staff. It's not crowded!!!
Excellent instructors for yoga & Pilates. A great facility very well managed & equipped!

The American Tobacco facility has some equipment I really like, the sled being one of them. The facility is also probably the nicest Y and the staff, like all the Durham YMCA's, is awesome.
Staff is great. Clean facility. Convenient location. Members are friendly and welcoming.
It is super convenient, clean, and there is always room to spread out when I'm working out!

Friendly staff.
Love all the windows and easy parking.
I love everything about my American Tobacco YMCA experience!
I love that it is down the street from my home. That it is a clean and modern facility. That it isn’t big but has everything that I need.
But most of all I like the people! The staff is fantastic; kind, knowledgeable and friendly. Shirley at the front desk is wonderful! She knows everyone’s name.
I take classes three days a week with Laurie and she is the first fitness instructor that has gotten me to move and to keep coming back. Her classes are upbeat, fun and challenging. She has so much energy and enthusiasm that it makes me want to work that much harder to be as fit as possible. Joining this Y has been life affirming. Thank you!
Clean facility, upkept equipment, not a lot of amenities in comparison to other sites but it still works if youre there just to lift or stretch. Not a lot of traffic which is my favorite part.
Clean workout space, well lit, helpful staff.
I work in the same building so this Y location is perfect for me. I also enjoy the classes that are led by Laurie!
Awesome location.
Friendly people.
I like Amy R. Yoga Flow class but would like to bring back the Friday Aerobic class taught by Ellie Torrie which was offered before the pandemic.
Thanks for the convenience parking garage access for 2 hours free parking this enables me to exercise conveniently
