friendly, clean, nice people, the pool, the machines, indoor track when raining
Friendly staff, group fitness classes and instructors - Natalie and Lenae!
I like the indoor track, the open play basketball, the lack of crowdedness so that I could be in peace. I'm looking forward to taking classes. I wish that there were pilates machines in the fitness room though(transformers)
Accessible, friendly environment , awesome people attends here! Very beneficial to my body and mind! Things are consistent
Best machines of all of the YMCAs that I go to. Gym floor remodel was fantastic. I also really like and appreciate all of the staff there. Really appreciate that you provide towels. Sauna and steamroom are operational way more than other gyms I go to. Overall 10 out of 10, easy!
Flu rates are so high, I would love to see signs in the exercise rooms reminding folks to stay home if they don't feel well to protect others from life threatening illnesses.
The facilities are well maintained, helpful staff and quite affordable. Very convenient and positive experience overall.
It’s always clean and spacious it’s always nice atmosphere I love they have a inside pool that’s very convenient and I just love that they make you feel welcomed
The downtown Durham YMCA has a great vibe!
The personnel are friendly and helpful.
Warm welcome. Great set up with exercise machines.
It’s broadly encompassing and welcoming: it brings together a wide spectrum of Durham across age level, income, race and ethnicity.
Also, the workout space does not feel judgmental or performative. It’s comfortable.
pool temp is great, all the swimsuit water extractors work, gym floor has all the equipment I need for deadlifting and squatting, front desk folks were helpful, there is a sauna

The staff are very friendly and helpful. The facility is clean.
Variety of classes; overall facility; and Steam room is a plus!!!!
The classes are easy to book online. I enjoy that I can take advantage of all the Triangle Ys— it makes it easy and very flexible for me since my schedule varies week to week. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. It’s always easy to walk in— I never feel uncomfortable.
I also like the social justice mission of the Y. I enjoy knowing that my membership helps my community and I enjoy participating in events like the gift tree at Christmas time.
The convince, the availability
I Love that your facilities are so close to home, I enjoy the classes and your staff TJ and Tracy make you feel welcomed, Lu has a very popular class that makes everyone smile and comeback for more.
The friendly staff and many options to choose from for my workout needs.
good class offerings, though instructors are stressed about attendance procedures. Afraid we're going to lose good instructors...
We love downtown Durham ymca! So convenient, clean, and great staff.
It is in a convenient location, the desk staff are always pleasant and helpful, it is clean and has good equipment. Most of all I LOVE the zumba classes. I wish there were more during the day!
VERY CLEAN GREAT SERVICE
Each time I arrive at the front desk I am greeted with polite and friendly welcome. The front desk employees are professional, kind and courteous. I utilize the pool facilities and the lifeguards are professional, and friendly.
I like the environment , diversity of options , safety place .
Locations, diversity of members, hours, pool, racquetball
I like the updated weight machines and the variety of cardio machines. I also like the variety of classes available. However, it's disappointing to me that the side fans rarely work, so the gym can get stuffy, especially in the summer.

The facility is clean. The personnel are friendly and helpful. I am able to exercise doing what I am able to do.
