Member Testimonials
Teachers were patient and helpful, very good class and they provided great tools to practice at home.
This Camp is a great place for kids to create friendships, learn the core values and just to have good summer fun! My son has been in camp since the age of 3 (he's 9 now) and that was the best decision I made. Camp truly makes my kid's summer the best one each year.
We do a lot at the branch, so I'm not sure which program this is about. I'm thinking it might be from tiny chefs.
We've had fantastic experiences at this Y. Our son has basically grown up there. He participated in tiny chefs and was super excited to spend extra time with his YMCA friends and to learn how to make the weekly recipes.
I'm a little biased about YMCA enrichment since I run the arts programs ;) But at the South Oakland Y, I'm a member looking for great activities and a place for my son to belong and I've always had a great experience there.

Location and the availability of the exercise equipment.
Love the silver sneakers and senior fit. The exercise program has been very helpful to me, has perfect hours. All the employees are so nice and friendly. The classes are enjoyable, hard work but a lot of fun, very beneficial to my lazy muscles 💪🙂
I like it
Good instructors.
The Y is a friendly, comfortable place to exercise. I feel good at the Y.
I love the selection of classes! The instructors get to know their students and make class so fun that I never want to miss!
My daughter loves cooking class at the YMCA! She always loves to learn what they are making and especially loved bringing home a recipe book. She enjoys the instructors and can’t wait for the next session. The only downside was there were 2 cancellations related to outside factors, but all cooking classes were held indoors.
The instructors for the fitness program are all great! I’ve loved every workout I’ve done and have definitely felt that it’s working. I love all the different options
Wonderful experience, amazing staff. I wish there was more consistent communication regarding field trips and if they were canceled, and then when they were rescheduled to what day- so we knew when to wear the T-shirts. Sometimes we didn’t know if the trip was cancelled or changed to a different place unless we asked our daughter.
Friendly, clean and active environment with great people.
Miss earlier Sunday hours
The staff members are very friendly and helpful. The building is very clean.
I love the exercises. I feel like I've had a good workout after my Senior Fit class on Mondays. The fitness leader is very good and explains what we should do in detail she also show us how to do them.
I also love Chair Yoga! Vicki is a pro. I love her class
I really like the staff here the classes are the members that comes here also and the things they does here.
Everyone has been super helpful. We are in swim lessons and classes are fun. Thanks so much!!
I use the pool. I like the separate locker rooms and the amenities, a sauna, scales, private changing areas. The locker rooms are also always clean.
That it’s for everyone, everyone feels welcomed
Nice people, lots of different equipment
The friendliness of the staff.

I'm new to the area and really enjoyed getting to meet other Y members. The people in my league were lovely and kind. I can't wait until the next league.
