Staff at the YMCA South Oakland cares. They know our names, they greet us warmly, they check in on us.
Classes for seniors hit the right notes - exercises can be modified if needed - with attention paid to those who need modifications.
This branch is fortunate to have KayAnne A. She brings the dedication, creativity, and depth of knowledge to her clients. Anyone who engages with her one on one, or in her many classes is fortunate too.

I just started with a personal trainer, (Austin) and he really gets me moving. This my first time with a trainer. It's a service that's good for me.
I am also the guardian of a young man who has been playing basketball on a team/ in the gym.He loves it and I really enjoy watching it.
There's always something to do at the gym.
The Wellness center has nice equipment. Kenny is great. He keeps me accountable and motivates me every visit. Swim class and instructors are good at what they do as well.
