Member Testimonials
The friends that I've made have helped me show up even if I didn't want to. We all help motivate one another and share experiences with one another. The staff are amazing! I exercise in the water and they make sure that myself and others that come to exercise via water aerobics or just walking have a lane for just that. The aerobics instructors are great and have helped me by not only doing the classes but given me praise when they notice that I've been working and getting stronger and will tell me different exercises I can do to help me reach whatever goal I'm trying to reach.
I was looking for a convenient place to swim, and the pool facility fits the bill. It's close to the apartment, and it's well kept. It's a little busy sometimes, though.
Great staff.
Dedicated patrons.
Kid friendly.
Friends
Great instructor and class (Clayton) and every single employee was so helpful and nice!
It was my first time there, and the person behind the desk was so welcoming and willing to help me find my way around. I loved the barre class with Clayton. The facility was large and clean. I liked that there were towels for members. I would like to return and use the pool at some point, and I will definitely be back for more classes.
Great customer service
Kickboxing classes
The ease of location and the welcoming of the staff to assist. The availability of programs.
Very friendly and helpful
All the equipment options you need for any workout you want, great lap pool availability, and very well-maintained facilities and equipment!
I met with the nutritionist who works with people who have diabetes. I also toured the facility. It was very clean. I especially like the way the pool is laid out for families and training. I am thinking I would like to come here when I swim.
Fantastic team! Truly some of our favorite people in all of downtown Durham.
Fellowship in my classes
I loved my time at the Y :)
Swimming and basketball
The kids love going so it’s a win for a device-free evening!
variety of activities. quality of group ex staff is stellar. Really wish there were group ex cardio or strength classes on weekday AMs at 600am ish other than Mondays. Can we get aerobics at 600am on Tues- Fri? I can only make it to Nancy's classes at Lakewood when I am on vacation. Would love to have an option of that caliber at any location.
I am treated like a valuable family member. I am always warmly greeted by my name. They know my favorite locker number and my favorite machines. The facility is always clean and inviting.
Early operating hours
Convenient location and great swim classes for my toddler.
Availability of Birdie as a trainer. Good size gym and equipment. Good size fitness room. Friendly front desk folks. Location.
Spinning classes on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Like the diversity of staff and members.
Love my classes there...only challenge is sometimes parking!
Community, camaraderie, and amazing staff!
The staff
I think the location is great. But we need more classes like pump HIT and combat. The room used currently is really too small for the group. In some aspects a small room is great if that matches the number of folk registered but as an MD at Duke, I love this gym and would come here more often if there was a bigger class room for group sessions and more classes offered. Totally understand though it space is limited. Thanks
I love the hours. I love the people who work here. I do wish it was a little bit more updated, but other than that fantastic spot 100% worth it
Great vibe and experience, mixed culture…
The staff is always nice and the equipment/amenities provide everything needed for a well rounded workout.
