Member Testimonials
Everybody was very friendly and helpful and efficient!
The gym is great. I did not like the fact that for a woman to use the pool, the person must go up and down stairs while wet (showering before entry into the pool and returning after using the pool).
One platform has multiple activity that helps to be everybody wellness

Staff are friendly and helpful. As a senior, Y provides the proper exercises.
I have always been a fan of the Y! It provided camps for my son when he was younger and it has been a great place to work out for me with many options of classes. I am still a firm believer that this is a wonderful place

The facility, staff.
There is a very positive community atmosphere at the S Oakland Y. The management sets the tone for the staff who make everyone feel welcome. I appreciate and participate in many of the classes, which has had a huge impact on my physical and mental wellbeing. I wouldn’t be able attend classes if there were extra fees for them. I am grateful for the Y.
All of the staff are exceptionally welcoming, professional, energetic, and kind. It is a community though loose. The lifeguards are particularly great patient observant, encouraging and friendly.

The active older adult classes
Everyone is friendly!
Fantastic customer service
I like the AOA and chair yoga. That's all I've participated in.
The staff at the front desk are friendly and helpful; I look forward to greeting them every time I arrive.
Also, the equipment is well-stocked and everything I need for my workout is always available (except maybe, occasionally, balance balls, when they are being used by a class).
It is convenient, clean and the staff is cordial. I like the array of choices for exercise.
Friendly staff
Facility is nice and clean. Staff is very friendly, welcoming and always ready to listen and assist. Instructors are very competent and make sure they teach by meeting members where they are. Especially enjoy the Active Older Adult classes.
