Member Testimonials
I learned to swim at the Chapel Hill-Carrboro YMCA back in the 1970s. So when we returned to the area a few years ago, I was thrilled to find a home within walking distance. Now my whole family accesses the Y for classes, swim lessons, practicing volleyball/basketball/soccer skills, and strength training. The instructors are marvelous and encouraging, the staff are welcoming, and I have found real community - the kinds of friends who hold me accountable for my fitness goals! All of the above keep me coming to early morning cycle classes several days/week. And when my husband or I say we are headed to the Y on the weekend, our children aged 9, 12, and 14 rush to get dressed to join us. It’s our favorite destination for family-centered fitness.
I love the Kidszone--great personnel. if I needed any motivation to work out, I have one because my kids (1 and 3) are always excited to go with me to the gym so that they can play and have fun. I wish it were offered more days/hours, especially on Sunday because, as a single mom, I can't go to the gym without childcare (and Saturday mornings are out for me because the kids have their own classes/sports). Also, I dread parking because it's always full, and I've only managed to snag a dedicated parent space once.
The staff are friendly, the facilities are clean and well kept, there are a variety of areas were members can do different types of exercise, and there is a nice sense of community.
I especially like the water aerobics classes, Tai Chi and chair yoga. I have many friends who participate in the Y and appreciate the chance to visit before and after classes. I wish there was more parking!
The Y is great! Good variety of facilities and amenities, affordable, great camps and afterschool staff. Overall a really good experience.
Equipment, classes except it would be nice to have more classes midday or afternoon.

I like the Chapel Hill Cartboro YMCA due to convenient location and easy to access equipment. Whether I want to have a work out by myself or as a group in yoga, or whatever robotics, I can do it in your facility. As for YMCA of the trailer, I like the flexibility of being able to go to Durham YMCA Lakewood downtown or Chapel Hill to outdoor pool in the summer, which

We have always had a very positive experience with the staff...whether it's been camp counselors for our young son, those working at the front desk staff, the location manager, even the custodian, Kendrick.
Kudos to whatever the YMCA Chapel Hill is doing to hire competent, responsible, and genuinely nice, caring people.
Just always love the Y, what it stands for, the friendliness of the staff and that there are Y's everywhere :)
