Member Testimonials
Everyone is so helpful and kind. I really like coming to the Y and bringing my children there.
It's great to be able to exercise while my kiddo gets to do something fun and new.
I've been loving my entire experience with the YMCA. My daughter has had swim lessons, attends daily summer camp and I now have a membership. The camp has been perfect for my schedule and cost. My kid has enjoyed it and talks highly of the counselors all the time.
I'm also really liking my gym membership. It has been nice to make some time for myself. The staff have all been friendly and welcoming.
I like the cleanliness of the ymca. Bathrooms clean. Weight room clean. Everything is always working or usable. Staff is great!
I love South Oakland YMCA! Such a sweet space to get healthy and feel like you’re a part of community. The ENTIRE staff is wonderful and helpful. I love the class offerings and that Spin/Barre pop up was FANTASTIC!!!! I’ve never tried spin before but would do it again if Danielle teaches it!! The class was just the right amount of each class

There are many other members of tie same age that I am. Yet, there are many other members who are younger than me and that is refreshing. I enjoy the effort the Y has madase to make the facility accessible/ As I was3 leaving, I was part of traffic jam in the hallwa ay as 3 of us were trying to get past each other with our walkers/ I do love the pool.
