Member Testimonials
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.
I love how caring and responsive the staff are! We have had very few issues but each one has been addressed promptly, compassionately and appropriately. I feel good about sending my child to the YMCA's afterschool program because I know he will get his physical and emotional needs met in a safe and caring environment.
Kids are outside doing physical activity! No screens!
I like the yoga classes. I like the atmosphere. I really don’t take advantage of all the offerings but hope to do more now that I’m retired.
I love the Y! It’s clean and I always feel safe. The staff are kind and helpful. The classes are super fun!!! But I also always have what I need to work out independently. Also the outdoor pool rocks.
Well organized!

I work out 2-3 times per week, mostly using the equipment in the weight room after warming up on a stationary cycle or treadmill. Everyone is friendly, the gym is very clean, the equipment is well maintained.
It's a friendly place with helpful people.
Great teachers/helpers. My child loves the activities and getting to play with her friends.
Staff is friendly and helpful, classes are great, facility is clean and easy to use, kid zone is awesome and the staff there are great (though I wish there were more hours).
Comprehensive approach to health. Provides an excellent gym for all ages. The pool completes the access to tools to maintain good health.
