Put in a cold plunge
Convenient location, always clean, staff are always friendly, and this location has a good variety of classes.
Great gym with all the options I am looking for.
I love going to classes there and the cardio floor always has spaces at the treadmills. It's great that you can also go to any other Y too.
I like how the building is set. Clean and organized. Also enjoy taking hot yoga
Love the camaraderie amongst instructors and the hot yoga team. The front desk friendliness, and the overall downtown vibe.
Wow - What a location!
I worked very close many years ago I would've loved to have a YMCA location that close to downtown.
Plus, this location had everything needed to get a solid workout.
The classes are the best - teachers are really good
Best sauna in the entire Triangle. This is the main reason I keep coming back here! Sauna is far superior to all other locations I've seen, both in terms of heat, availability/arrangement of seating, and reliability (i.e. other saunas at other locations tend to be out of order all the time, this one is reliably up and running)
Convenience
I. Its the YMCA
2. Very convenient for me to walk their, 7blocks closer to me than the Alexander YMCA. I d rather walk than drive to the Alexander Y which can be pretty crowded at times.
3. Less crowded than the Alexander Y
I hope in the very near future that there will be classes again such as there were prior to covid!
Hi Hopes for that!
Friendly staff, quiet facilities, locker room (and sauna) are usually empty, heated yoga studio
I enjoy the hot yoga class offerings!
