Member Testimonials
I like the facilities, the staff, and the community that YMCA builds.
Kind front desk staff, excellent age-oriented classes, positive instructors.
Here is like building strong healthy living and building relationships! It’s so personal and interactive for me here! The facility is not the newest in our area, but it builds community and relationships
Very clean, very calm.

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
