Member Testimonials
Staff was helpful and I found what I needed.
Friendly people. Helpful instructors. Different types of exercise equipment. The swimming pool is wonderful.
I love the daytime exercise class - I am an 'older adult'.
The friendliness
I am a huge fan of the South Oakland YMCA! Everyone has been so absolutely welcoming, from the class instructors, fellow Y members, and Child Watch. I'm thrilled to be an active member at the South Oakland Y!
The staff is helpful and nice, the facilities are clean, I can always find a lane in the pool, and it's great to relax in the sauna after my workout.
Friendly staff and fellow members. It's a very welcoming place full of friendly, smiling faces.
Clean and friendly
I appreciate that there is always enough equipment for everyone to use. When I go in wanting to use a particular thing it’s always available.
I've only experienced 2 classes,. So far I've enjoyed and I like both. I want to try the mobility and water aerobic classes. I'm looking forward to exercising at least 3 days a week
