Good classes
Location
Diversity of the Clientele, the community spirit, the Durhamness of it.
Diversity of members and staff! Excellent spinning instructors; John, Kelly, Marion, and April.
You have plenty equipment and things to do.the othere gyms are not in the class of our YMCA..sometimes parking is hard. The staff is second to none. They are the best.
Staff very pleasant and willing to assist you
The staff is the main reason. They are so friendly and helpful. I’ve never ever met a staff member I didn’t like. It’s also cleaner than some gyms and the equipment is maintained.
Things people ask about that I hesitate to say are that the locker rooms could be cleaner (pest control could be used to get the roaches out of the lockers).
Friendly Staff Members and the strong sense of unity. Like family and that means a lot
I really like the YMCA downtown here.the environment all of the machines the can get different challenges on
The walk area and everyone want has made me feel so welcome especially when I first enter the building the staff are so welcomed.
Friendliness of front desk staff. Well-equipped gym. Any class taught by Clayton. Free parking
I love coming and being able to shoot basketball and practice on improving my game .
Like the diversity of membership/. Made some delightful friends.
Like the water aerobics classes. Would like more morning offerings.
Nice staff. Updated gym.
I absolutely love the downtown, YMCA. All the staff are super friendly and helpful. I enjoy all the new machines and the layout of the workout floor. I appreciate the childcare they provide and it’s on all around family friendly environment.
Well, I personally think that the Y.is a great place to stay in the best health and physical fitness that you can. However Durham need a New YMCA building 👷♂️ as soon as possible, like now. The downtown build is to old and out dated. So let's get it done.
Nice staff and clean facilities. But we need to have morning hours open on Sundays and also increase the kid zone hours please.
The close proximity to my home, camaraderie and Toni M's water aerobics class on Monday mornings @ 10:00
Access to a variety of workouts and equipment.
Friendly staff; indoor pool and track
I absolutely enjoy the inside track. It's perfect for those rainy days and our super cold winters we "occasionally" experience in NC.
There is a nice variety in regards to the workout machines.
If you can catch the studio room open ( between classes) its a great "quiet" area after your workout.. Stretch! 💪
I actually joined The Downtown Durham Y in 2010, and it still has a calmer setting than some of the other gyms I have visited. Plus, the staff has always been incredibly helpful and friendly!
Friendly staff, good equipment, clean facilities
Large room for group classes. Hot though!
I like the community, staff, classes, and equipment. It’s great to have access to an indoor track and pool.
Friendly, spotlessly clean, so convenient and lovely!
Clean facility. Nice staff. Walking track upstairs needs a little work to smooth it down in some places - maybe a new floor there? Overall ‘tho - two thumbs up for the variety of exercise activities at the DT YMCA, plus childcare.

Helpful and courteous staff
