Member Testimonials
The downtown Durham Y is myfavirite place in Durham.Iti is one of the reasons my wife Julia and I mived back to Durham in January 2925 after I suffered a debilitating stroke. We go to the Y almist every day to exercise and meet new people. It is instrumental to my physical and spidirual recovery. I would like to join the Y's advisory board.

Convenience
The indoor track is great for any time you don't want to run or walk outside. Not available anywhere else that I know of. And then you have lots of options for strength training with weights or machines. All of the Durham Ys are friendly & welcoming.
Love Shirley’s zumba classes at Lakewood
Nice facility, great group exercise room, and the wonderful Nancy Sawaya.
It's a place I go to relieve stress.
