We have thoroughly enjoyed our experience at the Y so far. I started with a single membership and quickly switched to a family membership once I saw what the Y had to offer. Our family loves to swim in the pool and we appreciate the various open swim times. I take full advantage of Bodypump and Zumba classes. Nay and MaKaya have been extremely helpful during our experience so far. We like the Y so much we are considering enrolling our girls in summer camp. Thank you, South Oakland Y team, for everything you do!
I like the quiet, family environment at the Y. It’s welcoming and unpretentious.

Very helpful, and most enhanced program I’ve ever participated in
