Convenience, facility, friendly and helpful staff
i like the clean gym, the receptionists and the atmosphere
My kids love this camp! We have done basketball and soccer camps and both are great. They are moving all day (and not at all bored). Great job! Also, the communication has been fantastic.
Friendly staff
nice steam room
Thoughtful counselors
The hours are great and the price is reasonable. I like that they get to swim. I feel like they make an extra effort to keep the kids entertained!
All of the staff are very friendly and inviting! They treated my son like family and I truly value and appreciate that! If you are looking for a summer camp where your child can thrive safely and happily, definitely look to the Y for that!
I give this YMCA a ten. Not only is the Y based on Christian values, but it shows through the great customer service and inclusion. It is the melting pot of gyms offering basically everything. I can’t think of another gym that offers more. Also, I just remembered I was a summer day camp counselor here when I was a rising senior and I’m now 57 newly moved back to the area for my health and now a member, the circle of life. Thank you Y!🙏
The staff and the camp
This place makes me happy. It's fun and welcoming every time
warmth of counselors
The programming is great.
there is still an ongoing practice of sitting at exercise machines and texting for prolonged time. Its not that hard to spot. Have staff politely remind members to get off the machine if they want to text.
Lakewood front desk staff is always friendly and polite. I visit other YMCA's for my water classes, which I enjoyed wholeheartedly.
What I love about Lakewood is the Saunas. You have the best!
They were always really helping my daughter
My daughter went the camps there and they are always nice. She loves the Y
My daughter enjoys going to the YMCA - After School Program at her school. It has been extremely convenient for her and our family since the After School Program is on-site at her school. The team of YMCA counselors are a great group of people. We haven't had any issues and I feel they are always attentive. I am always made aware of any behavior issues as well as praises for good behavior. I feel my daughter is safe and that's what matters most. Thank you YMCA.
The tennis courts.
Better than Hope Valley, easier access than the Downtown Y.
It really is sad how little investment the Durham Ys have. I have started going to the Alexander Y in Raleigh (near work) and it is a top notch facility with top notch instructors. I really wish Durham Y could recruit and keep knowledgeable instructors.
Friday yoga class is wonderful. Facility is clean. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable
For me it was excellent, the teachers are all good, the children do activities and it is a very good option. I would recommend it 100%
So far she is having fun
