Member Testimonials
Zumba and line dance. I wish there were more of them during the morning hours.
I love the Y! I REALLY would love to see one of the Durham locations try a 24/7 model with a keycard entry system and staffed only during the day.
I love the YMCA, has a lot of programs and activities to do, there are some things that are not being repaired anymore like my favorite steam room, but I understand the reason as the new building is coming up. I will continue to enjoy the Downtown location for now and looking forward to the new building that's coming.
The staff is great! Friendly and always willing to help.
Location
The pool
Variety of equipment available
The staff all seemed to care about, and other members, is individuals, not merely customers
The staff is friendly and helpful. The facility is well maintained and welcoming.
The main challenge is there is not enough parking in the lot for all the folks who use this location.
Access to baskeball gym and size of facility. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
Friendship
It is a wonderful atmosphere and I have some good buddies who encourage me.
Other:
I wish the TVs in front of the treadmills offered HGTV, cooking and news, not too much sports.
And all of us older folks are sorry the table and four chairs were removed from the workout area. We enjoyed that space after working out.
Overall, I love the Y and the staff and my workout buddies.

The terrific instructors and the camaraderie of my classmates.
Staff welcome every time with kindness and eye contact! I love the lap pool and the training pool and so glad the latter will be open again all the time.
The Downtowns Durham YMCA staff is always pleasant and helpful. The facility including the bathroom is clean. I wish they had later classes. Consider more of the balance and strength class, it’s great but as a working person it’s hard to get there with the current class time.
Yoga Classes; Gero fit program, steam room!
