Member Testimonials
Love my classes there...only challenge is sometimes parking!
Community, camaraderie, and amazing staff!
The staff
I think the location is great. But we need more classes like pump HIT and combat. The room used currently is really too small for the group. In some aspects a small room is great if that matches the number of folk registered but as an MD at Duke, I love this gym and would come here more often if there was a bigger class room for group sessions and more classes offered. Totally understand though it space is limited. Thanks
I love the hours. I love the people who work here. I do wish it was a little bit more updated, but other than that fantastic spot 100% worth it
Great vibe and experience, mixed culture…
The people, the facilities, the sense of community
I love the diversity and sense of community at the Downtown Durham YMCA.
childrens camps
Amazing swim classes. Stella was an excellent instructor for my adult swim class. With a class with varied swim levels, she made sure every single person felt comfortable in the water and provided individual guidance to practice on. She also helped modify techniques for beginners to work up to. Highly recommend!
Really loved the zumba class with Willa. But also everyone is always friendly and I've never had any issues with the equipment.
