This feels like a very old YMCA, the workout area is pretty congested and cramped feeling, and parking is just atrocious. I’ve only been a few times, but both of the times they were doing construction in the locker rooms and we’re paining and had sandblasting everywhere right beside the sauna and steam room. Towel service and locker locks are good.

Not my favorite Y. You have to give up a personal item to get a locker key. The weight room is decent and they have an indoor track. I noticed a couple of the racks could use some work or updating but other than that it is decent.

Had a negative experience here as a trans person, but when I reached out to the area manager they were very apologetic and on point with trying to make things better, not just for me but for others in the future. They offered a free month membership and I will be giving them another chance.

The customer service is above and beyond! Tawana was awesome, she's very knowledgeable about the "Y" and applying for membership was a breeze! She gets 10 🌟!

‘Great selection of equipment, kind and professional staff, and nice community feel. I always feel better about the world after visiting the Durham Downtown YMCA. People are good about wearing masks, too. I’m so thankful for our City’s (and our Y’s) careful attitudes towards masking!

2 ladies up front were really nice, facities are ok. A lot of sick people here tho, if you're from out of town and heading west you might want to wit til the next ymca over in Almanace County, it's safe to breathe without killing peoples grannies over there.

Pool, steam and sauna are like a day at the spa! Staff is courteous and helpful. Workout room has large selection of equipment for all types of workouts. And the indoor track is useful in the winter.

BEST YMCA I have ever seen and used !! Highly recommend !! Very large facility with tons of services and the cost is very reasonable. I have lived in Iowa, Connecticut, Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina and the Durham downtown YMCA blows away all of the YMCAs I have seen and used. None of them remotely even come close to this fantastic Y.

Y staff needs to enforce the rules regarding underage children in the women's locker room. I visited between 5:30 and 7:00 on a Wednesday evening, usually a busy time for after work traffic. I encountered 2 preschool age boys in the locker room waiting for adults who were either showering or dressing to go. If women don't have the good sense to protect their own children from viewing naked strangers, then someone shoulld remind them that other women sharing the locker room may not want to disrobe in front of underage boys. There's a Y Playhouse upstairs that provides supervised childcare on-site. Staff should see that patrons use it. Why make everyone else uncomfortable?

I love my YMCA. Everyone there feels like family. I love the trainers that are in the weight room. The class trainers remember my name and my needs. I love the variety than I can have in my workout And just the all around atmosphere
