Member Testimonials
Good class. Chair yoga,., good friendly capable personnel. Good equipment .
I love the group exercise classes, and the instructors.
Community
We could use another box in the weight area for step ups and spit squats. We have one by the raquetball courts and could use a second one.
I love the large space for exercise and the great support staff.
I love how sportsmanship and learning are emphasized in YMCA sports.
I like how this league is well organized. It provides a great place for fun sports at a young age.
I like the Pilates and Strength classes I take , I ‘ve tried water aerobics, and pickleball and have enjoyed each even though I do only occasionally. I’ve used the weight room and track from time to time. I loved the Friday morning yoga class that was changed out to Pilates. All of the front desk folks are lovely. The only names I know are Ann , Delaney and Mary Pat. There are some very nice others whose names I just don’t know.
Nice staff, good programming - especially morning classes
Water aerobic instructors are all great -- bringing different styles and challenges to us class members.
I wish there were 10:00 a.m. water aerobic classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays also.
And I also wish there were water aerobic classes offered in the evenings. When I was working as an English teacher, I came to evening water aerobic classes and it was just what I needed after a day at work, I know other people who work would like the classes, too.
Comprehensive approach to health. Provides an excellent gym for all ages. The pool completes the access to tools to maintain good health.
Large gym on a smaller scale. Friendliest staff!!!
I like the fact the Y is diversified. The staff is friendly. I don’t like how much it costs.
It offers a pool for this swimmer!
I particularly like the flexibility of the fitness classes and the class leaders are great!
I wonder about the impact of development and more people in western Chapel Hill on future overcrowding of classes and facilities.
The pool is heavily used and doesn't feel clean. Particularly with the heavy use by children I wonder if the water replacement regime is adequate.
Instructors. Classes. Friendships
Senior reduced fees
I love the intergenerational aspect of the Y. You see people of all ages. Everyone is friendly and helpful, too.
My grandson and I are so happy to play rocketball and basketball, and swimming together in the beautiful Chapel Hill-Carrboro YMCA! Thank you so much!!!
Having been a member for over 40 years, don’t think I need to say more
Friendly staff! Nice and clean. Members are generally good, respectful participants.
cleanliness of locker rooms, friendly ymca staff
My child is having a great experience!
I LOVE the mindfulness meditation class with Sam. It's what gets me into the Y every week. Thanks to that, I've been motivated to also use the other equipment, start running, and just generally get my health in order. Please please please keep this class.
The staff are extremely friendly and professional, and I feel that my child is in a safe and enriching environment.
Dev! :) And all of the other great staff members who work afterschool at Grady Brown Elementary!
Friendly staff.
Clean facilities.
Plenty of diverse exercise equipment. The sauna and steamroom are a major treat after a workout. Staff are really nice. I've been a member off and on since moving here in 1982, and have really been impressed with the growth and improvements over the years.
(One question/suggestion regarding the dumbbells that were purchased within the last year or two - many of them are so heavy that I can only imagine Mr. Universe contestants would use them (e.g. - a 150 lb dumbbell?). Can some of the very heavy weights be exchanged for other, lighter ones that likely would see more use? I often have to wait in line for the weights in the 25 to 35 lb range that seem to be most popular.)
It is easily accessible and well equipped facility to exercise in various modes - yoga, weights, gym activities and exercise bikes and other equipment.
I love that I can trust the staff to care for our child and communicate with us when something goes wrong. I love that my son has made friends with the other students and looks up to the counselors.
My daughter loves all the activities they do. Mrs. Davis is so wonderful.

The facility was clean and the staff was helpful
