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.

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.
I LOVE that the Y is for EVERYBODY! I see all ages, genders, abilities, body types, ethnicities, EVERYONE! I have been weightlifting for a long time but I only recently started doing Zumba classes...they have really changed my life. The impact the Y has on my mental and physical health cannot be overstated.
Just started but I like the availability of classes, variety of gym equipment and the flexibility to visit other locations.
Friendly staff, great teachers!
Welcoming, big open areas, friendly employees, accessible to my needs
Everyone is genuinely friendly and welcoming
I like the way that all employees are kind, and courteous, supportive and always willing to promote health improvement to all.
Facilities, equipment, friendly and very helpful people.
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.
