Member Testimonials
Convenient to American Tobacco Campus, good variety of equipment on exercise floor.
The friendly staff .
As a senior I find it's great for use in any weather and there's someone close in an emergency.
Just Y in general, I recommend friends and family to get memberships.
Everyone that works there is nice from the front desk staff to trainers to class instructors.
Excellent Gym equipment
I love how easy it was to get a membership. On top of this, the variety of activities and amenities provide a myriad of options to engage and enjoy physical exercise. I love it
The staff are awesome and the pool - Also love that it is open late.
Love seeing friends and working out with them. Very friendly and professional staff!
The only location in the triangle I found with a steamer I like it gets me ready for work
Joining the Durham downtown Y in 2017 was the best decision i had made in years! It's a treasure....wish, oh how I wish, it wasn't going away! I use the pool, the group exercise room, and the clean, comfortable locker room 2-3 times a week. The instructors are top-notch! Miss Tonnie and Amy Rossi are both incredible teachers and coaches. The custodial care team and staff are also top-notch. The spaces are clean, safe and welcoming. I couldn't ask for a more delightful place to keep fit....particularly at the surprisingly low cost per month.
I love the Y and the classes offered and being able to go to the locations in the triangle depending on where I am for work. Best gym experience I’ve ever had!

EVERYTHING!!!
Convenience. Close to my work
Accessibility
All is well
The Downtown Durham Y has everything I need to stay physically fit and connected with a vibrant community of like-minded folks.
It is close to downtown- the location is great. Before you stopped putting money into it- putting only into the new building funds- it was well kept. The women’s locker room is nice, I love the pool but miss the training pool because the heater is always down. I do water fitness and the first lane is an awesome size. I accommodated so many of us. But down deep I love the people!
Customer Service.Friendly people.

It works great and the location is very convenient!
