It’s clean and friendly
Unpretentious. Nice instructors and staff
Good spin classes.
Location, price, down-to-earth fellow members.
I feel very welcome, and it’s always so lively. I mostly use the strength equipment, and everyone is so respectful and kind. I also recently tried my first Zumba class, and it was so fun!
Great staff selection!!!
Facilities are fine, but the best part is being around people from rh community, and that includes staff.

The Y is a welcoming and wonderful place. My teens love the basketball court and 6 hours of dedicated open gym hours on the weekends. I love the classes with caring and knowledgeable instructors. I love that the employees treat me with kindness and encouragement, it makes the Y feel like my home away from home.
The people. And the facility is looking better.
Friendly staff. Basketball gym and swimming pool is the best combination of amenities at any YMCA in Durham/Chapel Hill.
The pool and most of the people except one Front Dest Rep.
The Downtown Y is very convenient. Most of the equipment is good. It’s an enjoyable place to workout.

The staff are very friendly, helpful and professional. The facility is very clean and the swim classes are very impactful.
My 8 year old son is attending Camp Skyline in the American Tobacco complex in Downtown Durham. He normally hates going to camp, but he has loved this one. He specifically has said that the counselors are very kind and that they are good at keeping the bigger kids from being mean to the littler kids.
He's also coming home sweaty and hungry and tired, which is my goal for camp for my kids.
Our son has had a great summer at the Downtown Durham YMCA Day Camp! He has made great friends and always comes home talking about all of the fun activities they do each day. The counselors are also fantastic! I know when we drop our son off each day he is in a safe and fun environment, which is what we look for in a camp experience!
Machines, sauna and steam. Hours.
The community
It's okay.
Needs more gym exercise balls and the sauna needs to be fixed.
Easy access to weight room equipment that is well maintained and varied. (Not all gyms have all the leg machines that the downtown Y has.).
Love the pool— especially when it’s so crazy hot one doesn’t even want to go outside to swim.
Appreciate the class options too. I don’t take advantage of those as often as I’d like, but like knowing those options are there!
Friendly staff and atmosphere!!
Mr. Gordan and Ms. Nevera (sp) were courteous, informative and resourceful. My 13 y.o. grandchild enjoyed a week of enlightenment and fun! Thanks!
The Desk associates are so kind informative and willing to help.
I appreciated the way I was greeted and the tour along with the professionalism of signing me up as a member of the YMCA.
