I love having a facility in the heart of downtown and love being able to explore the surrounding area. I love the class offerings although I wish there were more afternoon classes available. Mornings and evenings can be hard bc of my unique work schedule, so my membership often goes to waste unless I can make a Saturday class. The instructors are always amazing and the facility is beautiful. Hoping I can visit more often this year!
I like the friendly staff, the clean facilities, the wide variety of equipment, the motivational support, and - most of all - the pool!
I like the chair yoga class and evening water fitness. Both instructors are great. I will try the new equipment in the exercise room.
The Downtown Y is a great facility. Clean and well maintained. Staff is great. Overall it is a phenomenal value and the community is amazing. It's busy but never struggle to get in a good sweat whether it's swimming, running on the track, or lifting weights. Can't beat the location!
I like the silver sneakers program. Linda and Phyllis are so nice. And it's a good workout.
I love riding the bike and I feel better when I finish..People are all nice and I talk to a few friends I met there. No judgement ever. Always clean and well taken care of. I always talk to people about the YMCA and recommend it.

Excellent facility and staff
I really appreciate that the YMCA is there for all ages. We have raised our children with the help of YMCA programming. The strong, community-centered values are great for growing minds and forming responsible, healthy habits. Playing ball in the gym, swimming in the pool, the YMCA camps, and showing up to workout a few times a week have all added value and fun to our lives! Thank you South Oakland Y!

Available classes and instructors. Good selection of weight equipment.
