Friendly and helpful staff!
EGYM!
Great group exercise classes!
Clean, lots of workout options
My family loves this location. Everyone is nice and friendly. They have convenient classes and workout equipment. The only thing I would change is the entrance. My son uses a wheelchair and it’s very difficult at times for him to get into the building. Other than that he loves that he can work out and not be stared at.
Friendly helpful staff. Good program offerings. Clean and well maintained equipment.
The inclusive friendly environment is very healthy and inviting. The array of services is impressive.
I like the people who work at the South Oakland Y! And the people who work out at the South Oakland Y!

The egym, customer service and group classes available
I’ve had wonderful experience after wonderful experience at the South Oakland Y. Marla is a great personal trainer and instructor. Taking a fitness class with her instruction has reaffirmed my satisfaction with my membership.
I have gone to this YMCA for some time and consider it my home pool. I've joined other health clubs but never felt the same about them. This Y works well for me. It's got good swim hours, is clean, and the employees are friendly.
The yoga classes
Environment, people, programs
Staff friendly and helpful
a clean nice place to work out and swim. However, i still suggest expanding the morning swimming hours before 6:30 am. I would suggest at least from 6 am, or it just too rash for people who enjoy swimming before work.
Also the last time I went to the downtown YMCA, the water was not clean, people who went there didn't rinse themselves but got in anyway. After swimming there my skin had some infections. Then I never go back there again!
Friendly staff. Caring instructors.
I love the OAO and chair Yoga classes. Also, I'm 84 years old and love getting out and interacting with other seniors.
Every staff member is friendly and supportive and professional. From the front desk staff the to trainers in the fitness areas to the instructors to the lifeguards. Everyone makes it a great place to work out at your own level in a safe, comfortable environment!
