As a senior citizen I enjoy the Monday a d Wednesday 11 am exercise classes tailor made for our various levels of cardio, toning, and balance workout. It's affordable, safe, effective, has open enrollment, has a lot of participants, and after it's done...I can say it was ...🤔🤨😟😊ðŸ«
I also enjoy walking on the indoor track. I am
looking foward to joining other various activities offered soon.

Fabulous staff!!!
Friendly staff and the variety of group classes offered. I also really like the sauna in the women's locker room. However, it would be fantastic if you could please bring back racquetball to the South Oakland location!!

The community and class offerings
Chimere, the kids camp director is THE BEST!!!!!!!! And always has been a major role model and has been part of every camp my kids have been to….
My kids have been with the YMCA since my son was 2 yrs old and my daughter was 5yrs old….(they are now 7 and 10 years old)
We were even at the YMCA during all the post lockdowns and even went to summer camp that summer of 2020 and my kids even went to school during that whole crazy school time where kids had to learn remotely the YMCA was there for us…. Chimere and Theresa made every experience a positive and memorable experience for my kids.
We love the YMCA camps!!!!! Thank you for having camp during winter break. Midwinter breaks holiday breaks they are so needed….. and thank you for offering scholarships on those as well for single moms like myself!!!!!!
Thank you YMCA thank you Chimere and thank you, Theresa

Great instructors

Oh my gosh I'm in love! I love the Zumba instructors! Erica noticed me on my first day...AND thanked me for coming. What!! So kind and special to me. The Valentine's Day dance was such a blast. So much attention to detail. So many staff members giving up their Friday night to serve YMCA families...so appreciative! Ms. Renee in child watch has made my children feel special with a warm welcome. My stranger danger daughter doesn't even cry when I leave!! What!! Such a good vibe at this facility. Keep up the great work!
The staff is very friendly and the instructors well qualified and motivating! A great atmosphere!
I say "It's not just a gym, it's a community.
I've only been a member for a short time, but I have enjoyed what I have experienced.

The representatives at the front desk are consistently welcoming and helpful. I love my senior yoga class.
