Member Testimonials
Facilities
I love the sauna & steam room, and the yoga classes are all great. friendly and welcoming atmosphere!
Quality of morning spinning class instructors. Diversity of membership.
Condition of faculty and equipment.
Great Location, ample parking, great dedicated staff, great equipment, good group classes
I like the gym, but not the pool. Very short but good lockers and showers
I love the diverse community of the Downtown Y.
The front desk staff were very helpful (as always) in reconfiguring our family membership now that one of the adults is a senior.
Our only issue is with the how slowly repairs to the lap swimming pool heater always take. The pool is our primary reason for coming to the Downtown Durham Y year-round.
I like being in town with everyone. Going to the Y is a community feeling. I use the treadmill and weights mostly, but I really love, for example, watching basketball as I walk. I also love that I now know many people, what you might call familiar strangers that as time passes I enjoy watching their routines and talking to them. I also like everyone at the front desk. I hope to potentially take some classes in the spring.
Good people

the y has everything that active and non active people need to keep them viable.and able to keep healthy and lively. both spiritual and physicaly.
I only do water aerobics but love the people I work out with. Just wish they could keep the water temperature regulated. Always some problem.
Nancy S is a treasure. She works us hard but we have so much fun doing it.
Please consider more hand weights for the group room. The goal is not only to maintain strength but to increase as able. As I age, this is increasingly more important for my health and well-being.
Thanks
The swimming pool and the friendly family like atmosphere from the employees.
I have been a member of the YMCA for 34 yrs and the reason is what the organization does for the children in the community.
Very friendly atmosphere. Staff very knowledgeable and helpful. In fact, the staff/team goes beyond the normal level of expectations to make your visit enjoyable.
A truly helpful, welcoming staff!! The best Y branch I know of! 😊 Love working out there.
Thanks to everyone. It's helping my health to a considerable degree. 😃 I could hardly walk when I began. Now I can walk laps for 3 or 4 miles, daily, and don't have to hold on at all!!
