Member Testimonials
It’s a smaller facility but has a nice group fitness room, an adequate workout area and during the summer an excellent outdoor lap pool. The staff is friendly and helpful
Like all Durham Ys, it's a friendly & welcoming place. Ellie's Tuesday evening class is great, but there's a real shortage of 8lb. hand weights which are in demand for this class. The round disc weights don't work well for the exercises in this class.
I'm looking forward to trying the outdoor pool.
One other issue I have: it's easy to miss the turn off Roxboro St. into the parking lot, Hard to see the sign for the parking lot until it's almost too late to turn. I wonder if you could put an additional sign in the median.
Thanks for asking!
Laurie is amazing always so positive great classes so is Anthony and Ellie. Love all of them.
The staff members are always helpful and very friendly. I love the clay courts!!!
Intimate, friendly
Convenient location, lots of classes to choose from, childcare, gym is not crowded.
Group lessons
Short distance, but has basic equipment.
Small and cosy
I like the outdoor pool in the summer. I also like the yoga classes but they conflict with other similar classes as other locations. I like the gentle yoga classes and it would be nice if they were spread out at the various locations at different times. For example the Yin class at HVF on Tuesdays is the same morning as Thrive at downtown, so I end up having to pick one or the other. I'm sure there are reasons for this and it works best with instructor schedules, but since you are asking for feedback, thought I'd share! :-)
We joined initially for the swim lessons, but knew we would make use of the tennis courts as well. We have been so pleasantly surprised by all of the facilities, staff and benefits. We look forward to visiting much more in 2024.
The HVF YMCA is convenient. I can work out while my daughter is swimming with YOTA. It is also 5-7 minutes from my home.
The pool and tennis courts are great.
Staff are very friendly. Enjoy the group classes. They are scheduled at convenient times for me.

Sam is the best yoga instructor I have ever had.
the front desk attendant was the nicest employee I have ever met at the YMCA by leaps and bounds.
Friendly atmosphere, help is just a question away.
Tennis courts and reasonable membership price
The group classes offered!
Great teachers, friendly staff. Excellent classes. Nice pool (though often too crowded).
Hope Valley is a unique YMCA location. Unfortunately it is under used! The tennis and pickle ball courts are finally be used, thanks to a partnership. The pool is fantastic, but only used by the swim team on Saturday. The fitness room is wonderful, but only has 2 or 3 classes a day.
Teachers proximity to house but need AC working
Close proximity to my home, classes, a not too crowded gym, and the pool.
Very convenient location with convenient times. Classes are great. Basic equipment but enough to get a good work out in. Friendly staff. Great pool
Awesome
I am very satisfied with the various physical activities that the YMCA provides. The YMCA has helped me in strengthening my body due to the regularity of the exercises I do. The instructors are good and help me enjoy my Group classes. I have been able to reach two of my locations within 12 to 15 minutes which certainly helps.
I am thankful that as a retiree they have subsidized my fees to make it affordable.
Thank you,
