Member Testimonials
Easy to enroll, close to my house, offer a variety of healthcare options - classes, pool, gym, exercise equipment and free weights. Just normal people trying to get some exercise.
The kindness of the associates, the cleanliness of the facility, and the diversity of the clientele all contribute to a welcoming environment. It’s so much friendlier than any big box gym chain I’ve ever attended. I especially appreciate the time Kenny took to orient me on the e-gym equipment and provide encouragement as I begin working toward a new goal. Excited to be back at the Y!
I love everything about it. The classes offered for seniors are life changing, I know they've greatly increased my mobility. I have met some great new friends there too. The staff are all welcoming, helpful and friendly. I love the new upgraded workout equipment and program that goes with them. The Y offers something for everyone of all ages, toddlers to seniors.
I enjoy meeting new people and I love the equipment; It's everything I need for my workout, and the staff is pretty dam nice also.
It's all good, staff, members and equipment. The camaraderie is great. Made quite a few friends.

Friendly Staff
The atmosphere is really nice.
I like all the new equipment upstairs
The clean workout room and the up-to-date equipment.
I've been a member of the South Oakland YMCA for almost 30 years - I'm there almost every morning. Its like having a second family - everyone is friendly, the new EGym equipment adds to the experience. I've taken classes - its part of my every day routine. When COVID hit and we had to take a break, I truly missed it. I was back as soon as the Y was open to the public again. Now if we could just make the pool a few degrees warmer (:)), life would be perfect.
