Member Testimonials
The program was great!
the group exercise programming
Everyone is very welcoming
Friendly
Everyone is very friendly and you get a good workout. The class is sometimes a little crowded and short on equipment butit's worth the effort.
Very friendly staff
Miss Erica was the absolute best. She made it fun for both babies and toddlers. The singing along with showing us how to teach our young ones made it fun for my daughter. I wish the pool was warmer or at least the area around the pool. My daughter was shivering halfway through the class. I think investing in a pool heater would be great. There was one day where class was started 5 min late. Though these were minuscule to me as overall this class was well worth it, and way more affordable than comparable places.
I love the times for the swim lessons as it works with our family schedule. The coach helped my son get more comfortable with the water and I saw a lot of growth and will sign my son up again for swim lessons at the Y.
We have always liked and appreciated swim classes at the YMCA but Ty was the best instructor we have ever had. Seriously the best.
Ty was an awesome teacher.
Instructor
The class was lead by a great and very engaged teacher. My kid had fun and felt significantly more confident in water after taking the class.
Clean and friendly
The instructor, Andrea, was amazing with our preschooler! She kept it fun and low pressure, while encouraging them to push themselves and gain confidence at their own pace.
My four year old loves swim class. I like that they are small class sizes. She is getting much more comfortable in the water. I look forward to signing her up for stage 2.
Great teachers and atmosphere.
Great coaches, kind staff. Good job keeping a long running program so strong over the years
Wonderful instructor that made my son feel very at ease in the pool. I plan on signing up again at the next open enrollment.
Our three year old loved these classes!
The kids enjoy their swim lessons, like their instructors and are learning new skills quickly.
Chair yoga and water fitness.
The structure and instruction is wonderful. I loved watching my kids improvement and their confidence grow each week.
Super nice, affordable, and good experience
Our instructor Michelle really pushed us to step out our comfort zone. He had us swimming by class 3 and on the deep end by class 4. This experience was great.
The aquatic staff are very nice and helpful. I enjoy the water fitness a.m. classes with Isaac.
Everyone has been very friendly
I really enjoy Christy's chair yoga classes Tuesday and Thursday and have recommended her class to friends.
Great place to work on a healthier lifestyle! They offer great classes with very good Instructors. The Wellness Center has very good equipment! The members are friendly., courteous and dedicated to working out. There is plenty of parking, with ample handicap spaces. I don't have anything negative to say, because I have never had a single bad experience here. I have been a member 10 years!
The South Oakland facility is very well cared for. Patty, one of the custodians, does a fantastic job keeping the public areas clean and inviting for members to use. The staff in general is very friendly, approachable and responsive toward a diverse membership. I also deeply appreciate the Y’s commitment to programming for Seniors.
The new aquatic director is friendly & organized. All the instructors are skillful and work well with the children.
