Staff very kind and personable
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!
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!
