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%
I loved the people. Especially loved that it was run from the school. My son loved it once he got used to the idea and met friends.
The steam room! Friendly staff, clean space, low key, well equipped.
Large classroom for group exercise classes, quality of classes.
The weight room!
I love the classes and wish there were even more for people who work! Would love more dance/zumba offerings but they need to be with high energy instructors! Shy, quiet instructors just don't give the energy that makes those classes so much fun!
The instructors, staff, and other members are great. Please add some fans to the center of the fitness room!
Private sauna and steam room. The cleanness of the locker rooms. The gym equipment needs replacement or updating. Especially the ones that are broken. Members can get injured.
Friendly staff and clean facility
Lakewood is uniquely friendly, both staff and membership. Frequent members are fiercely loyal to this location for a reason. Great steam room!
Neighbor feeling, cleanliness.
I like the small setting and equipment.
Has the equipment I need for the kind of training I want to do, convenient location, nice amenities (strong showers, always towels ready at hand), and everyone is friendly. It was exactly what I was looking for when I was looking for a gym.

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.
