Good instructors, nice sessions.
I come for the pool, and the lifeguards are very reliable and friendly. I also am impressed by the gym and weight room - impressive collection of weight machines. And to end the exercise experience, the sauna is fabulous!
I like the friendly staff, the clean facilities, the wide variety of equipment, the motivational support, and - most of all - the pool!
I like the chair yoga class and evening water fitness. Both instructors are great. I will try the new equipment in the exercise room.
I love riding the bike and I feel better when I finish..People are all nice and I talk to a few friends I met there. No judgement ever. Always clean and well taken care of. I always talk to people about the YMCA and recommend it.
Friendly staff. I enjoy using the pool.
IT'S GREAT
Friendly atmosphere, welcoming
Love the EGYM
I really appreciate that the YMCA is there for all ages. We have raised our children with the help of YMCA programming. The strong, community-centered values are great for growing minds and forming responsible, healthy habits. Playing ball in the gym, swimming in the pool, the YMCA camps, and showing up to workout a few times a week have all added value and fun to our lives! Thank you South Oakland Y!
#1 I'm participating in Active Older Adults exercise and Chair Yoga which I know created a healthy lifestyle. The instructors for these are knowledgeable and promote safety in performing the routines. And the groups are fun.
#2 I've found a wonderful diverse community of all ages. Conversations and fun observations prevent loneliness. With more time, I'm sure I'll have some additional friends to join me with other socializing.
#3 It was an unexpected surprise how this involvement four times a week structured how I use my time the rest of the day.

Love all the machines that you have now. Employees are so friendly and helpful to your members. The people exercising are respectful to clean machines after each use to cut down on germs spreading. Also, just a few blocks from my house. I have already recommended to a few friends and my son. All of them have signed up with the Y.
