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.
frendky,and close
I like the classes they offer and everyone is friendly. The place is always clean even the locker rooms and showers.
The e-gym, the spin class with Josh, and a few other weight machines are my favorites at the YMCA. I have always enjoyed the family atmosphere at the YMCA and the customer service and the cleanest of the facility..
I like almost everything. It would be AMAZING if you guys got a safety squat bar for things like Hatfield squats. They significantly reduce the risk of injury and would help a lot of people, and they’re not even an expensive investment
Everyone is very friendly and helpful. Chair yoga is really important to my wife and me; it has had a very positive impact on our well being.
We enjoy the pool and the cleanliness of the facility.
The kindness and inviting atmosphere. Group classes.
Everything. Carl’s Family YMCA has an awesome mixture of members. My experiences have been great experiences and I always leave with a smile regardless of the mood in which I arrived. I highly suggest this place to everyone.

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.
