My family and I have been members of the South Oakland Y for many years. We appreciate all of the ways that the local community is supported and brought together by the many programs, staff and members that belong. There is a strong sense of togetherness that can be seen and felt while at the Y.

The e-gym, the spin class with Josh, and a few other weight machines are my favorites at the YMCA. I have always enjoyed the family atmosphere at the YMCA and the customer service and the cleanest of the facility..

I love the diversity and inclusiveness of the people who are at the Y, including patrons and staff. I am participating in some of the classes now, and they are excellent (Older Adults Strength...). I do wish there was another free weight training class for women (like years ago), but flexibly geared toward a range of abilities.

I did have some trouble with the EPact program when trying to enroll my granddaughter for theater camp. However, Ms. C. Sutton, whom I contacted was very helpful and emailed me the necessary forms. Thank you, Ms. Sutton/

The facility and the coaches are great as well as very professional. Especially the basketball coach, he's patient with each child and helps them learn not only skills but helps build self confidence.

I have been a member of the Y for many years and found that you offer a variety of classes that best fit my needs. I especially like the swimming classes for children because they are small and give individual attention to the children.
