I have been a member of the Y for a number of years and I have always enjoyed and appreciated the friendly staff and the accommodations. I especially enjoy the Wellness Room with all of the diverse equipment that is available for the members.

Awesome place
The people
The Y is so friendly. I have many "gym friends" that I look forward to seeing at my classes. I like the variety of classes offered, for both my children and myself.
I enjoy Senior chair yoga and the stretch class with Nathalie. The Stretch class is very crowded and should meet in a larger room.
The people are very friendly and the facility is so nice. The renovations are stunning.
I have the choice of enjoying the facility with people from different back grounds but the same interest as myself. Or I can just come to challenge myself in the fitness center or the pool.
The facility is clean, modern and well equipped to meet my needs. The atmosphere is down to earth, relaxed, and quiet compared to the flashy and pushy commercial gyms. But most importantly the staff are helpful, friendly, and genuine.
My top reasons are: Location and the professionalism of the staff.
Great place to work out and my son play basketball and swims there.
The best place to be very clean , and nice staff .
I love that it has all the amenities I could hope for in one location. Pool and sauna are huge selling points for me. Workout equipment all feels new and well taken care of. Friendly culture. No complaints from me at all.
Everyone that works at the South Oakland Y are always very nice, welcoming, and helpful. They all seem like they enjoy being there, especially Michelle the swim instructor and Makada. The renovations look great. Please focus on the locker rooms and showers!!! They really need some help. Also, we'd love more lap swim time in the evenings but understand that staff is short. Keep up the good work!
Silver Sneakers Chair Yoga has been great for me after my hip replacement. Very poised instructor at right pace.
Nathalie is a great instructor and her classes are very beneficial.
I'm a new member.
