Member Testimonials
A friendly "Y" that is clean and inviting.
The pool and aqua classes. More at night please! Instructors are great, employees are kind and friendly and seem truly happy to be there.
It’s friendly. I attend a few yoga & exercise classes I like. In the summer I like to use the outdoor pool.
The whole staff is kind and patient, great communication!
EVERYTHING! I've attended several YMCA's while living in NC, and before while living in California. None compare to the Chapel Hill-Carrboro YMCA for great class options, instructors, staff, coziness (the Y's just the right size~not too big, nor too small). It's like working out from home. The instructors are hands down THE BEST I've yet experienced in any Y (or gym for that matter) anywhere! Can't say enough good stuff about this amazing facility, and it's equally amazing faculty and staff.
'Thank you' fall short. 'Love it' says it best!
Clean facilities
Good equipment especially the ellipticals
Love Sara's dance class Thursday night (would be great to have her teach more!) and Joan's classes.
Access to the pool for lap swimming and aqua Zumba are also important for me.
Reasonable membership fee.
Thanks!
Our son enjoys going and has built a connection with the staff. He always has a fun story to tell about after school care. Thank you for taking such good care of him!
The staff is very responsive to the needs of individual kids and seem to be really rooting for them to be successful and creating an environment that supports their success and allows them to learn and grow.
The staff at the HES YMCA after school are incredible. My son feels loved and valued there, so I cannot ask for anything more!
YMCA provides great service, and my daughter loves being able to spend more time with friends at school. She loves the staff and often is mad if I pick her up "too" early!
The staff is amazing & so good with my child and making her feel comfortable being this is her first year with them.
Our child genuinely loves the program and seems to be doing well there.
I appreciate how much my daughter enjoys it, to the point of her asking to be picked up later. The staff are incredibly friendly and it is great to have it available at the school that my daughter attends.
The staff is always so friendly and professional and the after school service is very convenient for working parents that often have to commute during rush hour. My son loves the teachers and is always happy when I pick him up
Different class schedule than Durham Ys
The YMCA is a welcoming and relaxing place that serves as an emotional heart of our town. Every day, people of all ages and backgrounds come together at the Y, creating a vibrant and inclusive community.
In addition to being a gathering space, the Y offers outstanding programs like high-quality after-school care and enriching summer camps, making a lasting impact on families throughout the area.

I feel the majority of the teachers are excellent teachers. The classes that I have experienced follow the class description. I appreciate this because it provides a comfort level for me if I do recommend the Y to friends.
I love the vibe, the people, the facility!

Nice facility, friendly and welcoming staff and other members. Variety of activities, strength training, group exercise classes and plenty of exercise machines. Staff are available to assist in learning how to use the equipment, help in developing a personalized training plan. For our younger members there are summer camps, sports camps and afters school programs
The Y is also a community of members who share a common interest in making this institution a unique place to be.
The outdoor pool is wonderful. Wish it could be open longer.
I love the Chapel Hill YMCA. The earlier opening time (5AM) is what has made it work for me. One small piece of feedback -- the men's locker room at the MLK site (adjacent to the swimming pool) just has a really weird smell all the time. I think it's a cleaning product. I have a very weak sense of smell and am rarely bothered by smells so if I notice it it's probably pretty strong.
The facilities are good and the genuine focus on positive community values and positive community action is excellent
