Staff is friendly and encouraging.
The South Oakland Y is centrally located, has all the basics for fitness ( pool, wellness center, gym, classes), has a great staff, and friendly, diverse members.
The locker room could be cleaned a bit more regularly, but the effort has improved over the last year.

It’s has a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere
You need to have more than two recumbent bikes on the first floor. I bring my dad and I often cannot exercise with him because the second bike isn’t an available. I can’t leave him so I do t get to exercise
There are so many options for working out. The equipment is new and well maintained and Patty keeps the facility looking and smelling clean!
Great facilities, wonderful staff -- glad to be a member !
It's a diverse group of people of all ages working with excellent instructors. Having fun while getting stronger.
The instructors (Lynda) and her classes. They have inspired me to exercise regularly. I also use the bike/treadmill/weight machine room two days a week. The front desk staff is also great (especially Mary). I do wish the parking lot had greater capacity, especially in the summer.
Instructors are marvelous
Friendliness
We enjoy our time at the Y. The staff are terrific and the members friendly.
Great location and friendly staff. I would caution a friend, however, that the therapeutic pool is often cool and closes due to staffing issues over the less used lap pool.
Great Community
Staff is very pleasant and helpful. There is a wide choice of equipment and activities. Clean. welcoming
Clean environment. Friendly staff. Programs that address individuals needs/desires.
Helpful and knowledgeable staff
Clean, very friendly, affordable, thank you!
the lifeguards are amazing. they are always so friendly and welcoming. i support the mission of the YMCA and i am so hopeful that the Birmingham Y will survive. You should invite the editor of Downtown magazine to actually visit the Birmingham Y and see the diversity of people who are served by the YMCA. his recent editorial was quite damaging and shows no understanding of the value of the facility to the whole area- no just birmingham...the Y is a vital member of the whole region... good luck!
