Has everything that I like inside and relaxing place
Great teachers, great classes.
The location is ideal. I really like the addition of little lockers in the upstairs weightroom (downtown Durham). Everyone that works there is super nice as well.
It works great and the location is very convenient!
Convenient to American Tobacco Campus, good variety of equipment on exercise floor.
The friendly staff .
As a senior I find it's great for use in any weather and there's someone close in an emergency.
Just Y in general, I recommend friends and family to get memberships.
Everyone that works there is nice from the front desk staff to trainers to class instructors.
Excellent Gym equipment
I love how easy it was to get a membership. On top of this, the variety of activities and amenities provide a myriad of options to engage and enjoy physical exercise. I love it
The staff are awesome and the pool - Also love that it is open late.
Love seeing friends and working out with them. Very friendly and professional staff!
The only location in the triangle I found with a steamer I like it gets me ready for work
Joining the Durham downtown Y in 2017 was the best decision i had made in years! It's a treasure....wish, oh how I wish, it wasn't going away! I use the pool, the group exercise room, and the clean, comfortable locker room 2-3 times a week. The instructors are top-notch! Miss Tonnie and Amy Rossi are both incredible teachers and coaches. The custodial care team and staff are also top-notch. The spaces are clean, safe and welcoming. I couldn't ask for a more delightful place to keep fit....particularly at the surprisingly low cost per month.
I love the Y and the classes offered and being able to go to the locations in the triangle depending on where I am for work. Best gym experience I’ve ever had!
