Chapel Hill - Carrboro YMCA

Fantastic experience: Best place in the world for youth growth and enlightenment.

Fantastic experience: I love the y

Positive experience: Zumba is great! with Griselda

Fantastic experience: Good gym, great people working there with good attitude. Especially, when it was the first day I went to the gym, I was attended by a very attentive lady at the front desk, her name is Mary.

Fantastic experience: Great place

Fantastic experience: I love this place. The staff is the best! Aubrey is THE MAN!!!! I’ll never have another main Gym as long as I’m in the area. Love this place! Kenya and Anne, at the front, are ALWAYS so sweet and welcoming. They’re my friends now haha. Overall it’s a great environment that I strongly recommend to anyone looking to maintain or improve their physical health journey.

Positive experience: Like the outside set up for strength training

Fantastic experience: My special needs daughter and I use the indoor walking track frequently. We have always enjoyed our visits. Patrons are extremely kind when my daughter acts out. It is a very fun experience to observe activities on the separate basketball courts. We have never had a poor or bad experience with staff on our hundreds of visits. They have always been kind and supportive. I look forward to tomorrow's walk!

Positive experience: Been pretty happy with my local Y. I especially love attending classes here and utilizing the childcare to have some time to take care of myself. The only drawback is that some of the front desk staff are very young and not super professional. It’s clearly the first jobs some of them have had. This can sometimes cause wait times at the desk or trouble getting equipment. A little tightening up would make this a five star branch.

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff. Everyone wants to help

Fantastic experience: Amazing swim team (YOTA) with state of the art workout machine. Yearly challenges and lots of motivation from staff. Simply amazing!!

Positive experience: Great place to work out, though the swim team takes up a huge chunk of time on the pool

Fantastic experience: Great staff. I am always pleased when I pick up my kid from after school care. They take good care of him and wear him out, mostly! Thanks y’all!

Positive experience: The downtown Durham YMCA is larger, has better hours (and better pool hours), and better service, including towel service. But then Chapel Hill is half the size of Durham. The renovation to the weight and cardio areas has made both of them much more functional. The pool hours are quite restrictive, and the pool can get crowded. I haven't had problems with the staff, though others seem to have, based on the reviews here. One thing I admire about the Y as an organization (as opposed to the Y as a facility) is its strong role in our community. The youth sports director, for instance, is a positive force for good. The Y Guides program connects dads and daughters to one another and to other dads and daughters. The Y is also very inclusive (though could do a lot more to include low-income people in our town).

Positive experience: The name is misleading.

Fantastic experience: We have done basketball for our sons here. Plus afterschool care. Top notch programs. Friendly staff. A community treasure.

Fantastic experience: Wooooo

Positive experience: Everything you need under one roof, but there are a few minuses. The hours are not the most convenient, especially if you go at night. No towel service. Otherwise a nice little gym.
