Member Testimonials
The classes
I really enjoyed Zumba. I wished you had offered it more frequently. It’s really the only thing I was doing at the gym so I left to pay for a place where I can just do classes. It was getting expensive to pay $93 a month to go to Zumba once a week when o could make the times.
Also I work till 7:30, the gym closing at 8:30 was too early for me.
Atmosphere
I loved how a team member met with me to help introduce me to the e-gym. She explained everything and guided me through the process and even showed me how to correctly work the machines. I’ve always wanted to be able to workout with weights and now I can do it on my own.
Love Pilates and other classes and the friendly teachers and staff!
I love the Egym, the members, the LiveStrong program, Vicky and Joe, Kayeanne, and the people who work the desk!
Thank you so much!

Great staff
This is a very friendly and welcoming club. The staff are kind and helpful. There are many classes to participate in! I look forward to coming here
Everyone from the people who work here to the people who work out here has been so friendly and down to earth. I came from another gym that was much more expensive and I can't say the same about the other one. I should have come here sooner.
Swimming
Great Staff. Very friendly. Many different places to work out.
First of all, the Y is just a mile from me. Very con lenient. Staff members are pleasant.
Everyone is so helpful and kind. I really like coming to the Y and bringing my children there.
It's great to be able to exercise while my kiddo gets to do something fun and new.
I've been loving my entire experience with the YMCA. My daughter has had swim lessons, attends daily summer camp and I now have a membership. The camp has been perfect for my schedule and cost. My kid has enjoyed it and talks highly of the counselors all the time.
I'm also really liking my gym membership. It has been nice to make some time for myself. The staff have all been friendly and welcoming.
I like the cleanliness of the ymca. Bathrooms clean. Weight room clean. Everything is always working or usable. Staff is great!
I love South Oakland YMCA! Such a sweet space to get healthy and feel like you’re a part of community. The ENTIRE staff is wonderful and helpful. I love the class offerings and that Spin/Barre pop up was FANTASTIC!!!! I’ve never tried spin before but would do it again if Danielle teaches it!! The class was just the right amount of each class
Thanks!
Variety of exercise options offered.
Pool and ramp
Seem to be nice, capable people in charge.
Love the sauna. The efficiency to hygiene and keep it clean.
Everyone who works there are great! They go out if their way to be helpful!
I love the classes that are available for seniors.
enjoy all the things you can do
Thank you for getting two bikes from the Birmingham Y and putting them up on the second floor mezzanine! There are days when all five are in use - yay!
Towel dispensers and spray bottles are full 99% of the time now - much improved!
The pricepoint is excellent and the instructors are kind.
I really love the safe environment that me and my family have to be healthy in the staff is very kind and supportive
Friendly community environment where everyone encourages and cheers each other
There are many other members of tie same age that I am. Yet, there are many other members who are younger than me and that is refreshing. I enjoy the effort the Y has madase to make the facility accessible/ As I was3 leaving, I was part of traffic jam in the hallwa ay as 3 of us were trying to get past each other with our walkers/ I do love the pool.
I really appreciate that the YMCA has a wide variety of fitness class types and times! Many gyms and fitness locations do not offer classes early or late enough in the day for working individuals to participate. The post 6pm start time on fitness classes is extremely helpful in getting there after work!
