Member Testimonials
Our instructor Michelle really pushed us to step out our comfort zone. He had us swimming by class 3 and on the deep end by class 4. This experience was great.
The aquatic staff are very nice and helpful. I enjoy the water fitness a.m. classes with Isaac.
Everyone has been very friendly
I really enjoy Christy's chair yoga classes Tuesday and Thursday and have recommended her class to friends.
Great place to work on a healthier lifestyle! They offer great classes with very good Instructors. The Wellness Center has very good equipment! The members are friendly., courteous and dedicated to working out. There is plenty of parking, with ample handicap spaces. I don't have anything negative to say, because I have never had a single bad experience here. I have been a member 10 years!
The South Oakland facility is very well cared for. Patty, one of the custodians, does a fantastic job keeping the public areas clean and inviting for members to use. The staff in general is very friendly, approachable and responsive toward a diverse membership. I also deeply appreciate the Y’s commitment to programming for Seniors.
Warm welcome, very good cusy service

I recently completed personal training and I really saw results.
Chair Yoga. Great teacher
I appreciate the strong sense of community and the support the YMCA offers to families. The child watch and kids' classes are excellent, and I enjoy the diverse range of classes and open swim options. I also value the additional activities like Parents Night Out and the Back to School event. Can't wait to experience everything that the Y has to offer.
I very much enjoy Christie and Machya. Sorry if I mis-spelled their names.
Wonderful staff, great facilities, clean, and I like having access to a pool.
The friendly atmosphere with the staff and members. It's really like a family.
Compared to Planet Fitness, the Y dominates except for 2 stuck up members the atmosphere is in the stratosphere.
The intangibles are imperative the sports conversations are way more important than the checking out the members if you know what I mean.
Also, attempting to lose more poundage is very crucial to overall physical and phycological. Will promote the abilities of the YMCA and celebrating 1-year in Mid-September.
Community.
I like all the equipment; I like meeting new people every day; and the employees are very nice as well.
I have recommended the Y to several friends already!!
The location, staff and the facility.
The staff is very friendly, and the child watch is so convenient.
My wife joined the Y in January 2006 with the family plan. I started coming with my daughter to the pool. I got a tour of the wellness center and noticed several people working out in the gym (early bird aerobics with Vicky McGill at 6:15 am). I joined the group and started my journey to being more involved in more classes. It has evolved into me being one of the instructors teaching step aerobics.
Everything! I love the people that work there, i love the members - especially in the group exercise classes! The trainers are wonderful! I can’t imagine going to any other gym now!
