Member Testimonials
The friendly employees.
Meeting other people in your age group. Friendly people who work at the Y.
Everyone who works there is so nice and helpful! The space is always clean and well-stocked. There is a a great variety of fitness equipment and workout spaces. I’ve been going here for 7 years and I love it!
Location, clean and friendly staff .
Thank you for maintaining your lovely Clay Courts par excellence. I love them and so do my knees!!!
Front desk, fitness, and building staff are always friendly. Class instructors are the best. And the diverse community of members are always welcoming and inclusive!
I have friends there, who spur me on!
The weight training area has proper room and equipment. The number of cardio machines is good. The interior is clean. The staff are consistently very pleasant.
The ladies locker room could use some freshening. The carpet feels old and smells not so good sometimes.
I would also like for there to be more water classes. Particularly in the afternoon or evenings.
Keeping the pool open and hour later would also be really nice for people that have later work schedules.
Very convient
I love the location, hours, space, equipment, and feel of the downtown Y. The staff is lovely and welcoming. I am a member that visits maybe three times a week and will continue to do so for my entire time in Durham. 10/10 gym.
Some feedback I'd like to offer is more of a question: what is going on with that room FULL of bikes??? That would be an excellent ab work or stretching space. Instead, it is absurdly packed with bikes. There are so many bikes and at such a density that riding any given bike is an uncomfortable experience. The current stretching area ppushed against the window wall to the bike room is largely in a natural footpath in the Y floor plan. It would be a much better use of space to allow open floor space into the "bike" room. Food for thought <3
On Sunday the guy who in charge of the gym want to take over the hold court so he can run basketball for his self
Easy access
All the equipment you need to stay in shape; courtesy of the employees and coaches; open on weekends; convenient to my work and home.

Deb in Durham.
I love the location, the variety of classes, and the instructors. My only criticism is that the group exercise room is too hot (sometimes alarmingly so when a high intensity class is taking place!) and that there are occasionally not enough equipment items to go around.
The availability of an indoor pool for aqua fitness, sauna, convenient locker/dressing facilities and frie dly, helpful staff.
Love the friendly vibe and the outdoor and indoor pools. Would love if the radius for lightning were smaller so that the pools didn't need to close so often for weather.
Friendly and helpful staff. A well-equipped gym. It’s never too busy so it’s easy to get access to equipment without long wait times.
Great staff, great people, lots of weight lifting equipment. Inclusive and accepting environment.
