Would like more class options on Friday evenings and from 8 AM - 9 AM on weekdays.
Would prefer more portable fans in class rooms as A/C and the 2 in front are not enough, especially for the upcoming summer season.
The instructors and staff are excellent.
The new YMCA app is very slow.
Child care, affordability, proximity to my house, the pool, and group exercise classes
Nice ladies changing room. Swimming all year. Single lanes available. Not very track. Usually working sauna and steam room. Friendly staff. Well run facility.
I’m loving my experience there. It’s great for my recovery and for my kids. It’s a place I look forward to going to each day for my workouts or to get some school work done. The daycare is awesome. My kid loves being there and that gives me peace of mind too
I like the classes with groups, It’s motivating me a lot, all the instructors are very nice.
Great location, great set of equipment. I like that a lot and would not change to any fancy gyms in town.
Great experience. Always updating the equipment and the gym. Love it.
Lovely building and great staff
Friendly staff, clean place.
I like the location, friendly team, cleanliness, classes, and amenities.
Staff is THE BEST!!!!
Great facility and staff
Friendly, helpful staff, good equipment, not too crowded.
The staff and facility.
Love the setup of the equipment, the cleanliness and the general open airy feel. I appreciate all the natural light. Makes workouts much more enjoyable! Wish the Taylor Y would get a building update to make it more similar to this one!
The decor and set up of this Y is one of the best in Durham… this location is always crowded. I appreciate the new diagrams telling members the times when the Y is less busy.
Very nice facility. Friendly Staff
New, clean, great equipment and staff
It's always clean. There's a lap pool in the sunshine. The locker rooms are ample. There is enough staff to keep the pool open all the time. There is always a smiling face at the front desk.
I really enjoy NW Y but don’t visit as much since it is further away. One recommendation I have is switching out the mats to be more adhesive (similar to the ones downstairs Taylor Y) I think the current ones slip too easily on the wood floor and could cause an injury
My favorite part is all the wonderful group exercise classes and phenomenal instructors; in particular the Zumba classes are top notch.
Friendly staff, clean and bright, great variety of fitness classes!
Reservation system for pool lanes. Friendly staff
Friendly, helpful, upbeat staff. Lots of natural light. Nice exercise equipment that's always clean and maintained. I haven't had time to take many classes but the ones I've taken have been great and there's a nice assortment.
Love my Y!
Staff very friendly and helpful. Great class!
Friendly staff.
Great facility. Great staff.
I love coming to the Y! The classes are fantastic, and the instructors are top notch. I love the diversity of the classes offered. I also have to give a shout out to the front desk staff. I am always greeted with a smile, and it feels like I am really part of a community. Thank you!

Love it! I do wish childcare started at 8 am
