Pool andnthenpeople
Great staff, friendly atmosphere, family-friendly environment. I like that I can visit multiple locations and have access to different programming and classes. You get a lot of value for your money!
Every one is so kind , and respectful
All the options that are available - track, machines, free weights, etc.
You should have more stretch benches available as older folks find it hard to stretch and do exercises on the floor, mainly because it's difficult to get up.
Great people. Clean facilities. Love the e-gym!
I love the EGYM!
so far i’ve only used the pool for lap swimming, and i have found both y employees and ymembers to be friendly and helpful -nice environment
I love this community!

It is a community of people who are willing to help. They are always welcoming and encouraging. The staff by enlarge, are representative of that same ethos.
Well run programs in a welcoming environment. A community jewel,
Great all around health and fitness facility. Their staff, classes and equipment are top rated. The Egym program is great, too!
Friendly people, variety of classes
The Oakland Y has exceptional courses and super exceptional instructors. It's a great community and collaborative atmosphere for all participants and the community.
The South Oakland is well-run, well-maintained, and friendly. The staff iss responsive and helpful. Thank you
We like that the gym area is very quiet, people are courteous and even use the supplies to wipe down the equipment. We also appreciate the walking path upstairs as we can be pleasantly distracted by younger folks playing basketball. The pool! We joined just to have access to the pool. A dream would be if it fit our schedule all seven days a week - 5 days a week it’s filling our desired schedule. The lifeguards are professional and pleasant, the rules are clear and posted, children are well supervised during open swim/family swim. South Oakland is a really good YMCA - and it has a parking lot!
Friendly staff. Very clean, thank you Patty!
Many classes to choose from. EGYM!!
Love swim fit
Egym. That is all.
Clean and friendly environment. Love the classes and instructors for seniors.
YMCA is way more professional than the gangbanging planet fitness
For me convenience, I live in Huntington Woods. However, the equipment, the great
staff and the diversity of the people that are member's. A shout out to Kennie Mitchell though.
He does a great job in representing the Y and is extremely popular with the
members and myself!!! Also, the front desk staff as you walk in are great. I don't know all the
names but Joe and Imonie (sp) come to mind.
