Member Testimonials
The staff was very knowledgeable and very polite.
Pool and locker rooms are always clean. Pool is open for lap swim at convenient hours. Staff is always friendly.
Wish towels were still available in locker rooms.
The EGYM equipment. I don’t have the time to dream up my own strength training program so this works great for me.
I LOVE the group classes. Body combat, tone and body pump are really helpful in helping me reach my fitness goals. The facility is clean and the staff are always welcoming.
My only concern is not having a mirror in the stairwell going down to the ladies locker room. It would be helpful to see around the corner so I don’t bump into one of the elders coming up or down the stairs.
The staff there is so friendly and the leaders for Pilates of the outstanding over many years now. I just joined the gym a few weeks ago and I love it! Thank you for all you do.
Likes Water Aerobics
I love that there is no contract and payment is month to month which allows flexibility. I really like the variety of classes and various time slots. The updated exercise machines are a plus. Also everyone is so friendly and eager to assist.
The quantity and flexibility of classes and the open gym and pool times.
The people that work at the Y and the members become family and friends.
All
Everyone is extremely friendly, and after a recent recommendation from a physician for a physical therapy program I opted for the water aerobics and exercise in the pool, and in four short months my microbiology numbers at my physician’s office had improved and my mobility and balance also improved.

10 out of 10 the staff everything
Friendly and helpful staff members at front desk. Wonderful work out teachers, zumba, dance fitness, body combat.
I always receive the most helpful advice and respect for their patience with me trying to help me with reserving a spot in the pool but mostly when trying to figure out receiving my monthly fees back from Tivity.
I respect and really like everyone there.
Sincerely

Being able to use the pool for lap swimming
My Neighbor got me to come there to do the water therapy class. I love it!
Great place to work, several machines so you never have to wait. The place is always clean and very friendly staff. This place also does a lot for the community especially for young kids.
The equipment in the functional room
The building is so clean. The helpfulness of the main desk when you walk in, The classes that are available to enjoy. All those who teach the classes they are fantastic. All the flowers that are outside give you a warm feet when you walk in. All in all I would highly recommend the YMCA to anyone.
Linda's stretch and active aging exercise classes
I like the low-key gym experience and helpful staff.
The e-weights are the best!
Community. Quality swim lessons.
My family and I have been members of the South Oakland Y for many years. We appreciate all of the ways that the local community is supported and brought together by the many programs, staff and members that belong. There is a strong sense of togetherness that can be seen and felt while at the Y.
Lots of machines to work out on.
Facility is kept clean.
Bottles of cleaner and paper towels to wipe down machines. (FYI - Bottles have been empty or close to empty the last couple of weeks. Plus people are not returning them to where they belong - have to go searching for them.)
Absolutely love Sandy's water aerobics on Tuesday and Thursdays!!
The open pool area. The slide. People are more attentive.
