The counselors are amazing. They are so responsible and caring. They impress me every time. The activities the kids are involved in are so great. There is such a variety of things for them to do, including music therapy, dog therapy, archery, and swimming.
Well structured, safe, and my daughter always makes new friends.
I liked the yoga class very much. The facilities are well equipped and provide a pleasant environment.
Friendly staff and clean locker rooms
Yes timings are good
I love the strength training classes!
Lori Pratt is the best!
Friendly staff, really clean environment, plenty of equipment available when needed
How much fun my child had there
It seems it has a more accessible pool than Raleigh’s Alexander location. I like the facilities in general much better.
Workout classes are great!
Everything looks new and clean, staff is friendly, plenty of equipment, and something I appreciate is the steam room and sauna are always in service when I visit
The NW Cary Camp G.R.A.C.E. team is awesome! So caring and engaging with my kiddo and helpful and responsive to me. We love coming here!!
Facilities are wonderful and class instructors are very good.
Our child attended Camp G.R.A.C.E. this summer for the first time and had a wonderful experience. The counselors are full of enthusiam, joy and positive energy. They truly care for their campers and have a huge responsiblity, requiring additional training to help serve this population. I felt that my kiddo was safe, was physically active, increased social interactions, made connections and was exposed to a varity of actitivies. I don't think anything would improve our experience other than a longer day!
My son loves the camp, he is happy to go every day! The staff is very friendly and the enrollment process was easy.
Camp Grace has been a wonderful inclusive place for our son with autism.
Wonderful counselors, great range of activities, excellent hours
I recently visited several gyms close to me after UNC Wellness had another price increase. This included visits to Golds Gym, (2) Planet Fitness locations, Cor4, Spenga, and (4) YMCAs. The NW Cary location came out on top, your Chatham Downs location is a close 2nd, but the equipment and class options, cleanliness, and super friendly staff made it easy to join your NW Cary location. It is most like, but newer than the UNC Wellness Center where I have been a member for a few years. You are a further drive, but I look forward to visiting often and staying health at the Y! Thank you, Neil
We like that the Northwest Cary YMCA Day Camp provides a safe, fun, and welcoming environment. The staff are friendly and caring, and there are many activities that keep the kids engaged, active, and learning throughout the day.
Kiddo learnt something everyday, made friends and had a good time overall.
Very welcoming. As a parent, the Kid Zone provides safety and care for my girls while I work out. I do not have that sense of peace with the Kids Zone in Chapel Hill YMCA, especially with my 3 month old. It is great to see a consistent face like Kamaya. Which unfortunately, has not been our experience with Chapel Hill. We love it to but the Kids Zone doesn't compare at all.
Staff is friendly & helpful and facility is clean and well-kept.
How the facility feels new and modern, and we also love the gym and the many options of trainers and activities for kids as well.
It’s very nice and welcoming. Has tons of space and classes and a variety of equipment.
I’ve had a very positive experience with the Northwest Cary YMCA. The facility is wonderful—clean, welcoming, and well maintained. I especially enjoy the great variety of group exercise classes and the amazing instructors, who are knowledgeable, motivating, and supportive. The staff is always friendly, and there’s a great sense of community. Overall, it’s a fantastic place to stay active and healthy.
The facilities are excellent. The staff are dedicated, accessible, and willing to go above and beyond to help the members. The personal trainers are extraordinarily capable.

My daughter had a GREAT time!!
