The staff are always friendly and caring, and the facilities are always clean tidy and well kept! And you always get towels at the front desk! Which is always a perk that you don't see in the YMCAs of Northwest NC! Good to see that things are still run how they were pre-pandemic, always nice!
Love the Downtown Durham YMCA. Please keep this lovely building and space (and people!), as is, where is! Thanks from a charter member. Graham Marlette
The Durham Y serves the most diverse population of any gym in town. I like working out and talking to all kinds of interesting people.
