I like all the new equipment upstairs
The clean workout room and the up-to-date equipment.
I've been a member of the South Oakland YMCA for almost 30 years - I'm there almost every morning. Its like having a second family - everyone is friendly, the new EGym equipment adds to the experience. I've taken classes - its part of my every day routine. When COVID hit and we had to take a break, I truly missed it. I was back as soon as the Y was open to the public again. Now if we could just make the pool a few degrees warmer (:)), life would be perfect.
