This gym is great. Having a kids club is super helpful for parents, and my kids always have a great time there , the staff are fantastic with them. The gym staff are always helpful, and the classes and instructors are great too. The gym has everything I need. It can get packed at times, which isn’t an issue for me, but the parking can be a bit tricky sometimes since it's so popular. It might be worth considering opening another location nearby to accommodate the demand!

The staff there is great, from cleaning to management. The kids club staff are exceptional and are by far the best I’ve seen at any gym. The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is because some of the equipment is getting a little dated, particularly the rowers. My biggest wish is that there were more than 2 bench presses, especially for a gym this size.

I recently just moved here from New York, I was originally going to retro fitness back home but when I found out that there wasn't any in the area I was very nervous about having to find a new gym as many know how hard it is to find a comfortable environment in a new area that you aren't familiar is, I had the intentions of just doing the guest pass but when I came in the assistant manager Skye gave me an amazing tour not only was she very professional but she also made me feel very comfortable and welcomed during the tour that It was a very easy decision for me to join right on the spot. And I'm very happy with doing so as the staff is amazing and always has a smile on their face no matter what day or time it is!! Hands down my favorite place to be in Durham!! even though the gym could use some improvements with equipment and other stuff it's definitely still got everything I need in the gym!! HANDS DOWN A REALLY NICE GYM!!!💪💪💪💪

The other reviews cover most of the great things about this specific gym. Cleanliness, equipment options. Classes, etc. So I am going to focus my review on a perk I recently took advantage of. When signing up, you get a free personal training session to work on whatever you would like. This ranges from building a workout plan to (in my case) fixing issues you have with a specific exercise to a ton of other coaching options. After over a year of lifting consistently, I worked with an employee named Mo to pinpoint what was causing me pain and subsequent weakness when trying to squat. Within 40 minutes he had found the issue(s) and put me on a path to be substantially better. I now have a warmup that will work the hip and adductor muscles I was (accidentally) ignoring, a plan to build up those muscles to properly squat, and some modifications I can make to my squat to continue drilling good habits while my body strengthens. I can't recommend the experience enough. If the other trainers are half as good as Mo, then this is a world class facility!

This would definitely be a five star review if it weren’t for the parking and for limited equipment. This facility is clean and well organized, the staff is friendly and helpful, and people that workout here are somewhat reasonable. Parking accommodates about four people and there is only one of each piece of weightlifting equipment

Great gym at a great location!! Very nice and always clean. Great selection of fitness classes. Everyone that works here is very friendly. I have a little one and use childcare and they are so great with my kid. They are always energetic and excited to see my kid and have fun activities for him to keep him busy and entertained. One thing to note is they have somewhat limited parking (though I’ve only once had a problem finding parking, just something to keep in mind) and that there are certain evening hours where it is very busy.

The lakewood ymca is a gray place for kids and families I love this Ymca this is our go to Ymca my daughter did a week of soccer camp and I signed her up for a second week. We love the lakewood ymca and the staff is so very nice I would highly recommend your kids doing sports here or joining the gym and making this your main YMCA that you visit I absolutely love the staff here the location is very convenient it is very easy to get to from where we live and I just wanna let everyone know at lakewood ymca that I appreciate you.

This is a really great Y! The staff here is super friendly and keep the facilities clean and the machines are almost always in working order. It does get a bit crowded at times, but it is nothing compared to some of the bigger gyms out there. Would recommend to anyone in the Durham area! Edit a few years later - still a great gym, but the parking and crowdedness is out of control. I can't even find parking half the times I visit these days. We need a bigger YMCA in south durham!

I have never been at this particular YMCA. I was greeted by AJ who showed me the place and talked about their enhanced cleaning procedures. He treated me like an old friend whom he has not seen in a long time. I guess because since Covid-19, the place was almost empty. The gym has all the essential equipment to do a well rounded workout. Small but substantial. The best part was the friendly welcoming. I will try to go back in the future.

I go because it's close to home, and it WAS a well kept gym. But recently, lots of machines are broken and not fixed promptly. And the leather is cracking on most seats. Update 12/17/24: This week, out of 13 treadmills, SEVEN are broken! And many other machines are broken too. I'm sad, because it used to be a nice gym. But it seems like the current owner is not invested in upkeep. Update 12/23/24: Many of the machines were finally fixed this week! Waiting to see if this is the beginning of an improving trend....

Fuel Fitness is hands down one of the best gyms I've ever been to! The facilities are top-notch, and the overall vibe is welcoming and motivating. But what truly sets this gym apart are the trainers, especially Allison. She's an incredible trainer who really knows how to push you to your limits while making sure you stay on track with your fitness goals. Allison's motivation and support have made such a difference in my progress. She’s always there to offer personalized advice and encouragement, whether you’re a beginner or more advanced. I highly recommend both Fuel Fitness and Allison if you're looking to take your fitness journey to the next level!

Been a consistent gym member here since around the time ownership has changed hands. Firstly, location is great, staff is very friendly and the price is fair, but for the past year or so maintenance and upkeep of the gym equipment is seriously lacking. Treadmills are abundantly "out of order", upholstery for many machines are ripped and torn and some cable machines are frequently broken and unusable. With the current ownership I have not seen significant moves towards the upkeep of this gym as of lately. This is an emerging issue that needs to be addressed.

DO NOT PURCHASE A MEMBERSHIP HERE. AC/Heat has been broken for over a year. Several TV’s have been broken as well for roughly the same amount of time. Dirty, old, worn machines and pads. Frequent broken equipment. Today alone I noticed 10 treadmills “out of service”. No paper towels to sanitize machinery! They upped my membership two months ago without notifying me. I was told the annual fee’s I paid were used for the general maintenance and upkeep of the gym… that is an absolute lie. I’ve worked out here for seven years. I was fine with the older equipment for the cheap membership but this place is falling apart because of its new management. They were too busy opening up NEW gyms and didn’t fix something that was already good.

I mostly use the personal training services here and Alex has been an awesome trainer. He is attentive, knowledgeable and kind , and has been a blast to work with. I would recommend him highly , as he makes work out challenging yet fun
