Warm therapy pool helps my mobility
I absolutely love the feeling at the South Oakland Y. It is truly an inviting and comfortable place for everyone to enjoy. A true community space. I am grateful to have found it.
I love the friendly people at the front desk who greet us by name. We are into Pickleball and appreciate that we can play seven days a week! The weight rooms are always clean. All in all, this Y is a great place.
Classes
I appreciate how nice, polite, and helpful the entire staff is.
The instructors and staff at the Y are extremely helpful and pleasant at all times. I always feel welcomed and the facility is always so clean. I look forward to seeing everyone in the classes they provide; it is such a friendly atmosphere!
Friendly attitude at the front desk
Friendly and welcoming, knowledgeable when asked, helpful too👏
I am disappointed with the locker room. Two shower stalls have been blocked for off for some time and the machine to remove water from bathing suits is out of order. Also soap dispensers in the showers are often out of order.
My only complaints are, I wish I had joined sooner, and I wish I had time to go every day, and use the gym, the pool, and the basketball courts. My youngest is looking forward to trying out sports, karate and dance.
Friendly people.
It is clean, spacious, and the classes are great. Always plenty of parking too. I'm disappointed that this YMCA is closing, as it will make South Oakland even busier. I tried to sign up for a class at South Oakland and it was already full-- this never happens at Birmingham. I'm worried I'll have to cancel my membership as the Y will no longer have the options I need.
Very nice facility
Helpful staff
Kayann and Austin are fantastic
Free Parking!!!
