Water aerobics classes
Great staff
Facility is well maintained
swimming pool and a variety of classes
I have a lot of love for my Y. I am fond of most of the people who work there! I like how culturally representative it feels. I am very grateful for the Sunday hours changing.
I don't love how often the equipment breaks (and how long it can sometimes takes to fix). I don't love that the women's locker room is FREEZING. The chlorine in the pool is extreme and I am sad about the modified pool hours.
The variety of machines on the wellness floor, availability of free weights and yoga mats.
Close proximity to my home.
I love the Y in Chapel Hill. It’s always clean, the staff are friendly and greet you by name. It’s always busy but never so crowded you can’t get what you need. As a woman who lifts, I feel very safe and comfortable in the weight room. Things that are broken get fixed quickly. The afterschool program is huge but contained and doesn’t interrupt other functions of the space. The parking lot used to be a nightmare, but they’ve redone it and it’s a lot better. Strong work from the YMCA 💕
Water fitness, yoga and tai chi classes, Meadowmont pool in the summer, and great hours of operation.
The water aerobic classes are excellent. Their instructors are knowledgeable and fun, and I love the Community.
The Y is a place where people get stronger through exercise; yes, that is true. With a wide range of fun and effective fitness classes, there is something for everyone. The Y also reaches out to neighbors who need extra support, whether that means help with reading or the opportunity to enjoy a week of summer camp.
When you join the Y, you are not just joining a gym. You are becoming part of something that makes our entire town stronger, healthier, and more connected. Come and be part of it.
There is a great range of classes. The gym is well equipped.
I like the community of people who go the Y. Range ls from children to older people.
Great class offerings and instructors. Friendly staff.
The only thing that is not great is the staff announce the facility is closed before the official closing time especially on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings. They start turning lights, TV’s, and fans off 10-15 minutes before closing time and then walk around saying the Y is closed a few minutes before it is actually closed. I think the closing staff should not turn off lights, fans, etc until the actual closing time.
I like the laid-back all-ages low-pressure community atmosphere. I love my person trainer (Chantal Montagnet) who I get through the Y. And I love the classes that I take (mainly BodyPump & Athletic Conditioning)
