Member Testimonials
i recommend YMCA to anybody. The chapel Hill-Carrboro Y is my favorite Y because I like the classes. They have courses for older adults. There are many congenial and friendly people there. The instructors professional and well informed.
Friendly staffs.
I like the amenities, the pool, the steam and sauna rooms, showers etc. Mostly I use the pool for exercise at the Y
I love the “big family” feel of the Y - I work out here and see people of all ages. My kids also do the rewarding swim team. It’s a place that brings our entire family great joy. It’s clean, has new equipment, isn’t pretentious, just all around a great addition to the community.
I love the pools. They are wonderful!
I appreciate the family and community focus of the ymca. The ymca promotes health and wellness over just having a certain physique. I’m grateful for the missions of the Y.
I like the variety of strength training machines.
I do have a request: would you please provide more lower weight free-weights on the workout floor? 3lbs, 6 lbs, 7lbs, including 7 to 10 lbs kettle-bells?
I like working out somewhere that has classes for my grandchildren. Otherwise, I would be sitting around waiting while they were in their activities.
It’s a friendly place!
Good customer service and care

The price, it's a great value for my family of 4. We have access to the gym, the track and, the pool. We don't use the weights but they too are available. A family membership is around $100 per month. If we visit weekly, we get more than our monies worth. My spouse and oldest son actually go 3-4 times a week. So we appreciate the value.
I love the Y, but one thing continues to frustrate me. People don't follow traffic flows in the parking lot. I have seen a number of very close calls because people are driving in the wrong direction. Perhaps we could use some additional signage to encourage people to follow the traffic pattern.
The class selection and the teachers.
It’s a support to great organization that does wonderful things
We love the YMCA afterschool program!! It’s so organized and engaging. Highly recommend!!
Quality of offering.
It all seems good, but everyday I need to be told if the pickup is in the front or by the gym. I would recommend a cone or flag or something that can mark the pickup spot, to save the staff from saying it 50 times a day. Just happy advice, not unsatisfied.
My son has been in afterschool for 7 years with OCS and loves it! This year with YMCA After-school he is super excited and really enjoys all of the teachers and activities they do.
We are loving all of it!!! The options that he has to choose from - go outside, crafts, gym, playground, archery.... The counselors have all been so friendly and kind and great! I have recommended that his best friend switch over to YMCA from their current afterschool program!
The program has been consistent and have been responsive when any issues arise.
My son enjoys the time he spends there after school and always wants to stay longer!
Loads of exercise/well being options, excellent instructors, welcoming environment, and diversity of Y members
I absolutely love this ymca. It is very clean, people are friendly and helpful.
I enjoyed 😉 the pool and the workout equipment. When The Sanford ymca closes the pool again I will definitely be back. I LOVED MY FIRST VISIT TO THE CHAPEL HILL -CARRBORO YMCA.

Family swim. Also the showers.
