Member Testimonials
The recent renovations have created a very welcoming and clean environment for fitness and social engagement. thanks for being in our neighborhood and serving the community.
Friendly family atmosphere
I like that there are classes I really enjoy and help for my kids so I can take an hour and work on myself. I also like the extra activities such as the healthy kids day. It was a fun idea and my kids had a blast.
I love the water fitness! I have a bad hip so I’m the water I can exercise the way I need to!
Desk staff is friendly but need to pay lifeguards more so there is not continuing shortages..
Newly, remodelled & beautiful place, especially the pool. Beautiful environment with nice ambience. Everyone of the staff is nice, especially the front desk.
Great staff, clean facility, friendly patrons.
Vickie; she is a delight. Makes the moves in chair yoga less painful. You need to keep her happy. It would be hard to find an equal substitute.
Everyone is very friendly and helpful.. the staff even waves good bye toe .. makes me feel special??

Need to do a better job of cleanliness. Many times spray bottles in the wellness center are empty. It takes 5 minutes for someone to check and refill but does not seem to be a priority
Everyone is so friendly and helpful very positive environment and love the pickle ball sessions. Vicky is a great instructor for the flex class.
I like EVERYTHING about the South Oakland YMCA: The staff are superb. They are extremely helpful and patient. The facility has many activities in addition to the "usual" work out options and the building has been renovated and updated. The hours are very accommodating.And again I say: its the staff. They are the best!
