Member Testimonials
Everything! The class offerings, the instructors, the members, the staff! I love the South Oakland Y! I could never join another gym after being a member here! Thank you everyone!!
Great variety of exercises with a VERY KNOWLEDGABLE instructor who watches out for our safety, ability and needs.
We have had such a great experience with Miss Lynda and Miss Maggie. They are both wonderful! My son has been doing lessons consistently for two years and has improved tremendously.
Community, Egym, yoga class
The atmosphere
LYNN is the best!
The swimming program at the Y has been great! The teachers are knowledgeable and friendly. My only complaint would be how hard it is to get into classes because they fill up quickly.
The staff and lifeguards are friendly and courteous. I enjoy the instruction aquatic classes. The classes are stimulating and structured. It’s great to meet and socialize with new people.
The friendly and inclusive atmosphere.

The Y has something for everyone in the family. Scheduled times are good as well; taking into consideration work schedules and considering those that may be retired.
The instructors are very kind and patient with the kids. I feel as if the kids are safe.
The staff is amazing! The programs are just what I need and professional.

Great exercise trainers!!
I take the senior noon exercise classes. Jamie is an exceptional teacher, so I am so glad, now that Kayanne has left, that Jamie is also teaching the Wednesday class.
I think the classes are very well-rounded, so I feel like I am working all parts of my body.
I also find it is a very friendly group of people that attend the classes, so it's a great atmosphere.
Well my wife like the people the customer service is really good and it's a lot you can learn at the Y
I’ve enjoyed the aquatics Mon wed and Friday at 10.
So far....everything
The atmosphere is very friendly and supportive. The classes have been wonderful. Well organized, lots of options and welcoming atmosphere.
Everyone is very friendly and knowledgeable. There are great group fitness classes. And I really enjoy the eGym workout system. It's an excellent program for consistent weight training with built-in guidance. I've never been as consistent and successful with my resistance training before in my whole life. But now I'm a regular on the weight machines and I'm seeing results!
Updated facility, great instructors, staff and management!
Everyone is very friendly and knowledgeable. There are great group classes. And I really love the eGym workout program. It is an excellent method for doing consistent, guided strength training.
Really enjoy the friendly and helpful staff and the newly upgraded spinning cycles and strength training equipment.

Such a clean friendly workout and water classes for me ( senior exercise).
