Member Testimonials
Lots of machines. Clean. Friendly staff.
convenient, clean and welcoming
I love the Y's welcoming, positive atmosphere. You can feel it the moment you walk in. The facilities are always clean, and most of the instructors are upbeat and encouraging. I really appreciate the pool and the variety of classes offered. The equipment selection is great, and I'd love to see even more of it. I'd also love to see more dance-style classes beyond Zumba, and a covered or coverable pool option so we could swim year-round. Thank you for making the Y such a great community space!

Thrive classes
The fairly new facility offers a nice variety of activities for members of all ages. I'm retired and have one bad hip, so I only use the cardio machines, such as a treadmill and 10 or 11 weight machines each 90-min session, but I have used free weights a few times. Such a beautiful, large workout area with huge windows and forest or pool views. So nice.
I'm sure the kids and more active adults enjoy the great bball court. I used to play recreationally but just do not have the mobility any longer. Have not used the nice pool yet, but I watch others use it in warm weather when I'm on a treadmill, and I think I might start to use it next summer to get more sun and to swim, which I can probably do.
All of the staff I've interacted with are nice (of course!), and I sometimes strike up a conversation with others while working out.
The Y is fairly convenient for me since I live about a 10-min drive away closer to Chapel Hill but on a nice forested tract. Lived there since the late 70s in the small house I built myself with help from friends since I had worked as a carpenter off and on before and during college at UNC. It was wilderness, part of the Big Woods, which ran from Morgan Creek in CH to the Haw River back then and is shown on old county maps. The growth I've witnessed over the years is astonishing.
We are lucky to have such a nice facility available to Chatham Country residents. Keep up the good work!
YMCA of Chatham Park is very nice. The people there are very helpful and genuine. I am enjoying my time.
I really enjoy the Thrive classes. However, I would really really like to see a zumba gold offered on Tuesdays in the Thrive time slot. There are already 4 very similar weight/conditioning classes offered each week. I think the numbers of participants from the recent zumba gold classes indicate that people are interested in this activity and would like to see it offered regularly.
The facility is very nice. The staff is so nice as well
I enjoy the amenities and especially the location. The pool programs like swim lessons, YOTA, and aquafit are especially valuable. We also really enjoy the pool during the summer.
Friendly staff, clean facility, and family friendly.
Our experience with the Chatham Park YMCA has been delightful. The facilities are clean, well organized, and the staff have been so incredibly kind and helpful. We primarily use the swimming pool, which is beautifully maintained and accessible, and the pool staff have been welcoming, helpful, and encouraging. It feels like hanging out with good friends!
The convenience of it and so many classes to choose from. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. I love the pool
The facility is wonderful, and the staff is very friendly and helpful. What I would suggest is somehow finding a way to incorporate a coffee and / or smoothie bar into the facility. I think this would be a tremendous addition to a very fine club! And the staff tells me that they have received many requests for such a thing.
Facilities is clean and well equipped. Staff is friendly and courteous. Diverse classes.
