Member Testimonials
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!

Accessibility
All is well
The Downtown Durham Y has everything I need to stay physically fit and connected with a vibrant community of like-minded folks.
It is close to downtown- the location is great. Before you stopped putting money into it- putting only into the new building funds- it was well kept. The women’s locker room is nice, I love the pool but miss the training pool because the heater is always down. I do water fitness and the first lane is an awesome size. I accommodated so many of us. But down deep I love the people!
Customer Service.Friendly people.
I have been a member of the DD YMCA since its inception. I love it and hope that it will remain AS IS WHERE IS. Take a lap around the track and check out the exposed girders to see how well constructed this building is. No changes needed. Thank you! Graham Marlette

The. Staff is friendly.
The open hours, especially for the pool, are the best in the triangle.
I enjoy the diversity of folks that utilize the Y while I'm working out. I've made a number of friends that I would not have met otherwise. I appreciate the many programs offered by the Y, especially for the children to young adults.
