Member Testimonials
Besides having quality equipment, the facility is very clean. And ALL YMCA people are friendly, helpful and patient. Thanks…
The Y is a great friendly place for exercising. But, you need to get the right folding chairs for chair yoga! The chairs should have a FLAT seat. The curved-seat plastic chairs in the gym are very uncomfortable for yoga.
My son loves the Youth Leadership Program, and I enjoy the pool for lap swimming. My husband uses the gym equipment at least twice a week.
Staff, classes, facilities
Friendly environment
I like most things about it. My problem is I like to take classes and my ideal time is the afternoon and there's never classes offered in the afternoon
Friendly
I like the people that work there.
The friendliness of the staff.
The sense of community
Cheerful people greeting you, clean locker room, easy parking.
I love the way the people greet you so warmly when you walk in, the way people get to know each other in the exercise classes, and the way that the Y reaches out to do good for so many age groups.
One aspect I appreciate most about my Chapel Hill–Carrboro YMCA membership is the variety of well-maintained facilities that support both fitness and overall well-being. The indoor track has become one of my favorite features, offering a comfortable and climate-controlled space to walk or run regardless of the weather. I also value having access to the swimming pool, which provides an excellent low-impact workout and a refreshing change of pace from a traditional gym routine.
Another highlight for me is the gymnasium. I enjoy shooting basketball, and I especially appreciate that the gym is rarely crowded, allowing me to practice freely and at my own pace. The friendly atmosphere throughout the YMCA contributes significantly to my experience as well. Staff members and fellow members are courteous and welcoming, which helps create a sense of community rather than just a workout space.
Perhaps most importantly, I am grateful for the safe and supportive environment the YMCA provides. Whether I am exercising, swimming, or simply spending time in the facility, I feel comfortable and secure. Altogether, these factors make my YMCA membership not just convenient, but genuinely enjoyable and meaningful.
We are members for the swim team and have thus far had a wonderful experience.
