Member Testimonials
The staff is very friendly, and the child watch is so convenient.
My wife joined the Y in January 2006 with the family plan. I started coming with my daughter to the pool. I got a tour of the wellness center and noticed several people working out in the gym (early bird aerobics with Vicky McGill at 6:15 am). I joined the group and started my journey to being more involved in more classes. It has evolved into me being one of the instructors teaching step aerobics.
Everything! I love the people that work there, i love the members - especially in the group exercise classes! The trainers are wonderful! I can’t imagine going to any other gym now!
Good wellness programs and community spirit in adult classes
Very friendly staff.
The programs are age related and structured
Very well maintained and managed
Safety is a priority
They offer variety/field trips as well as physical activity
I'm genderfree and I really appreciated the positive experience during sign up of having my (lack of) gender respected.

The facilities, senior activities and the people.

South Oakland rocks!! Great staff and members👏
Staff is great! We loved how the kids were involved in writing, creating and performing the play. Kelly allowed the kids to embrace their creativity throughout the entirety of the program and it showed during the final performance. The show was brilliant!
This Y has Outstanding Pilates classes that I have loved for several years now twice a week! It keeps me coming! On top of this, the staff at the reception area is the best! So much better than the other Y that I go to. Keep it up!

The location, staff and the facility.
