Member Testimonials
I appreciate how much my daughter enjoys it, to the point of her asking to be picked up later. The staff are incredibly friendly and it is great to have it available at the school that my daughter attends.
The staff is always so friendly and professional and the after school service is very convenient for working parents that often have to commute during rush hour. My son loves the teachers and is always happy when I pick him up
Different class schedule than Durham Ys
The YMCA is a welcoming and relaxing place that serves as an emotional heart of our town. Every day, people of all ages and backgrounds come together at the Y, creating a vibrant and inclusive community.
In addition to being a gathering space, the Y offers outstanding programs like high-quality after-school care and enriching summer camps, making a lasting impact on families throughout the area.

I feel the majority of the teachers are excellent teachers. The classes that I have experienced follow the class description. I appreciate this because it provides a comfort level for me if I do recommend the Y to friends.

Nice facility, friendly and welcoming staff and other members. Variety of activities, strength training, group exercise classes and plenty of exercise machines. Staff are available to assist in learning how to use the equipment, help in developing a personalized training plan. For our younger members there are summer camps, sports camps and afters school programs
The Y is also a community of members who share a common interest in making this institution a unique place to be.
The outdoor pool is wonderful. Wish it could be open longer.
I love the Chapel Hill YMCA. The earlier opening time (5AM) is what has made it work for me. One small piece of feedback -- the men's locker room at the MLK site (adjacent to the swimming pool) just has a really weird smell all the time. I think it's a cleaning product. I have a very weak sense of smell and am rarely bothered by smells so if I notice it it's probably pretty strong.
I was very pleased and happy to come back
Such a friendly welcoming place. Instructors are outstanding.
Great mix of classes, wonderful staff and I love, love, love the outdoor pool.
Water aerobics challenging from most instructors, social aspect for less challenging classes make up less challenging content.
Helpful, welcoming staff at front desk; excellent instructors, variety of excellent classes.

Rani’s zumba class was full of energy and Si much fun. I would highly recommend her class to all zumba enthusiasts.
The friendly staff and the very clean facility. The pool at Meadowmont is great.
I do have to say that the website is not user friendly. I find it difficult to get info about lap hours at Meadowmont and at Chapel Hill Carrboro.

Our child genuinely loves the program and seems to be doing well there.
