Location, friendly people, pretty good choice of classes
It's a friendly, diverse community, good equipment & clean facility. The indoor track is wonderful for running. On hot or cold days I wouldn't run outside, so it motivates me to do it.
It is diverse and the vibe is mostly very chill.
Great facility. Relatively easy to park. Very friendly people. I enjoy the club every time I go.

The friendly people and water aerobics class
Everyone who works there is always so nice and helpful! I love coming to see y’all after a long day of work. There is so much variety of equipment, and the machines are updated pretty frequently. I love the space and availability of equipment, as well as the ability to swim or use the sauna when I want as well.
I enjoy the atmosphere. I’m an early riser for my workouts. There is hardly anyone in the workout room when I get, also the shower/locker rooms are always clean which is a plus. I feel safe dropping my teenager off to play basketball with his friends and I not have to worry about anybody bothering him.
1) the employees
2) the sauna
3) clean equipment
Downtown YMCA is my favorite building to be in in Durham. I like Lakewood too. Both have been instrumental in my recovery from stroke 14months ago. I love the consistently friendly, encouraging and supportive members and sraff.
All of them is excellent
