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.
Great Atmosphere. Friendly Staff!
The way it is maintained and the friendship of the staff.

The staff at the desk (Brandon) are great. The instructions are very good. Monday morning aquafit instructor makes my week, it like a pool party with family and friends. The members are friendly. The janitors are friendly. It really a pleasant atmosphere.
Friendly, helpful staff. Diversity of members (e.g., age, level of fitness, etc.). Variety of offerings and opportunities
Such a great experience, Aundrea did the Teen Orientation with my 12-year-old son and he was AMAZING! Aundrea really took the time to make sure he knows what he is doing when working out and using the machines. That helped build confidence for my son to actually show up and put in the work! He is VERY excited to get into a regular routine.
Great friendly help from Alex and Shawn. They made me feel comfortable and welcomed.
very organised very nice comunity
Allot of great equipment. Great staff. Good energy. Basketball, biking. And people of all ages. Only thing I don’t like is the locker rooms need to be updated. And the sauna and steam room being out. But I put the last two issues there due to members not treating it the best.
The instructors Tonnie, Clayton and Amy R.
Convenience
Nice staff, good offerings.
Hi friends. Please, pretty please, install shower caddies in all the showers in the women's locker room. I am happy to pay for this directly if it facilitates the process. My contact is Email address removed
The family atmosphere. I love that both staff and other gym members are encouraging and friendly.
Everyone is so friendly and the variety of classes make it MORE than worth it!
Great place
Friendly, professional and diligent staff. Facility is clean and maintained. Opens on time. Great clientele.
clean, safe, not crowded. However, I don't understand why the indoor pool is closed when there's a storm. I could understand if it was an outdoor pool but why does an indoor pool have to be closed during a storm?
Friendly and helpful workers.
Pretty friendly people, good place to workout
The instructors and front- line staff are amazing! And the Durham Y has the best community in town.
Group classes, exercise equipment, weights and weight machines and the steam room!!!

Access to a variety of workouts and equipment.
