Member Testimonials
I did have some trouble with the EPact program when trying to enroll my granddaughter for theater camp. However, Ms. C. Sutton, whom I contacted was very helpful and emailed me the necessary forms. Thank you, Ms. Sutton/
I appreciate that classes are included in the price of membership. The facility is clean, staff is friendly, and parking is adequate and well maintained.
Very good trainers.They really keep us pumped up.
like eGym and rowing machine.
The facility and the coaches are great as well as very professional. Especially the basketball coach, he's patient with each child and helps them learn not only skills but helps build self confidence.
I have been a member of the Y for many years and found that you offer a variety of classes that best fit my needs. I especially like the swimming classes for children because they are small and give individual attention to the children.
Pool access. Variety of equipment in wellness center

EGYM!
Great group exercise classes!
Clean, lots of workout options
My family loves this location. Everyone is nice and friendly. They have convenient classes and workout equipment. The only thing I would change is the entrance. My son uses a wheelchair and it’s very difficult at times for him to get into the building. Other than that he loves that he can work out and not be stared at.
Friendly helpful staff. Good program offerings. Clean and well maintained equipment.
The inclusive friendly environment is very healthy and inviting. The array of services is impressive.

I’ve had wonderful experience after wonderful experience at the South Oakland Y. Marla is a great personal trainer and instructor. Taking a fitness class with her instruction has reaffirmed my satisfaction with my membership.
I have gone to this YMCA for some time and consider it my home pool. I've joined other health clubs but never felt the same about them. This Y works well for me. It's got good swim hours, is clean, and the employees are friendly.

Lots of equipment. Very seldom is it too busy. Friendly and attentive staff. No loud gym music. Great experiences at the Oakland Y.
