The downtown Durham YMCA is a great place to work out. The staff is very friendly and there are so many great activities to enjoy.
Hours of operation. All facilities are usually available. The wet area is no longer clean as it used to be. I would encourage you to make sure that the steam room and sauna are always on. Member reaction is bad when they are not clean and open. The drain pipes stink to high heaven often.
Membership was super easy. Dee was wonderful at explaining how everything works. She gave a great tour and answered all of our questions.
Love the indoor track and swimming.
The staff are very friendly and helpful. The place is clean and machines in good working order generally. Good mix of classes available.
I love the pool, both-one for warmth and one to cool down in this hot weather. everyone who works the front desk is friendly and helpful. You feel welcomed when you arrive.
It has classes and machines that I like, and I like the vibe—it feels like Durham to me, because it has people from all walks of life.
It is a very supportive environment.
Great community
The people are wonderful, both staff and members. There are people of all ages, races, and physical fitness abilities there. The equipment is great. While I don't need it now, many years ago I totally appreciated the childcare that is provided at the YMCA, and would recommend it for any parent to help them with self-care and health while raising a family. Watching the young children playing basketball on Saturday mornings in the gym is a treat. I love belonging to the great YMCA community too because when I travel it typically is easy to find a YMCA that I can visit. I have belonged to the YMCA for roughly 20+ years. I plan to continue my membership for many more!
It is a complete gym with everything that you will help you with your goals.
