I know what to expect
The Downtown Y is an all inclusive facility. It has basketball, yoga, light and heavy equipment, swimming, etc but as important if not most important is the people ,from the staff to the “regular people “ who come to the gym and make others feel welcomed.
Excellent classes and instructors (Amy! Anthony! Kit!)
Wide range of members, making it feel like Durham, like "community"
Adequate equipment
It is close to home.
MY USE OF THE DOWNTOWN Y HAS BEEN PRIMARILY FOR SPINNING CLASSES, AT LEAST 3 EVERY WEEK!
I've been a member of the YMCA since the 70s! I love the genuine care that I receive each time I go to workout. I'm always greeted with a smile. If I need anything, they get it for me. The facility is always clean. I feel like I am a valued family member. They know my name and my favorite locker number.
Great facilities and very friendly/welcoming employees!!! Everything is very well-maintained and the group fitness classes rock!
Best place to be!
I visit the Y several times a week and take advantage of almost everything they have to offer.
I am a former Olympian athlete ( track and field) and after been at the Y I decided to learn new things like Swimming freestyle. Started as a motivation for my children, now I am able to swim 1500mts thank to the wonderful staff.
My children love it so do I
I actually only ever go to the ATC branch, which I love because it's convenient and peaceful and has what I need.
Friendly staff. Variety of cardio equipment. It wasn't overly crowded.

I love the y I have a a daughter with special needs she said it feels like home in there
