Member Testimonials
The class was so wonderful. The instructor First name removed was great!
The Y is the best place for seniors with mobility issues to take water aerobics. Safe and clean with professional and friendly staff who are used to their geriatric students and will never let you hurt or overexert yourself. The South Oakland Y is the best place to swim!!
I have recommended the Wednesday evening swim fitness class to other people. She provides an excellent workout plan and makes it a fun environment even while working up a sweat.
My daughter loved her theater camp!!!
My overall health and fitness level has improved immensely since I started the classes. Our instructor is wonderful, she makes everyone feel welcome and included. I have met some great friends there too. Great way to socialize and get fit. I actually look forward to going to the classes and miss them when I can't attend.
great environment, friendly staff
The instructor for the school-aged children is amazing!

The Y is very helpful with the senior. I love the program they offer senior.
Our swimming instructor, Deana, was excellent. She is warm, diligent, and great with kids.
Wonderful instructor!
How the counselors get to know each child and how well cared for they are at the camp. They go out of their way to ensure the health, safety and welfare of each child is met. They keep the kids constantly busy with activities, bring in special events, to the field trips. Yes, this year has some hiccups with bussing but the leadership at the camp was quick to react and have other plans in place when the planned activities could not be executed or delayed to another date.
Staff were very friendly and accommodating of our ever-changing schedules. This camp taught my kids to swim, core values, and they discovered new friends that attend their schools! Amazing field trips, special days, and excellent hours! 10/10 will be back next year!
Good fun.
Convenient, exercise programs YMCA offers, and friendly staff, makes me feel comfortable being a member.
Friendliness of the staff and other members.
Love the group classes
Very friendly, fun and affordable
I love the classes, events and amenities. The community vibe is strong. I've met new people and I'm happy with how the Y has become a part of my healing and wellness journey. I have only been coming a short time but am already more fit, feeling stronger and the benefits are spilling over into my daily life. I do recommend
I love the water fitness classes. Easy to go to the class no red tape just show up and get my exercise in. Just wish there was more classes to go to.
My camper enjoyed the outdoor games, field
trips, and special events (ie carnival themed event the last week).
I think the camp is a good value for the money.
I love that you provide an opportunity for teens who are not ready to stay home alone. The field trips and such included in summer programs makes the cost worthwhile. I was very satisfied with your programming for my 12 year old to be with peers his age and participate in activity with his own age group geared towards them being a little older. We very likely intend to be back next summer!
They have good equipment in the Wellness Room, friendly help and fun members.
Very pleasant staff
Facility is clean

Good service and facilities
The helpful staff and the friendly front desk people.
I am fortunate to have come to the Y over 30 years ago quickly discovering in the inclusive, welcoming instructors and the diverse group of participants a true community which I care deeply about. I’ve established a structure of classes and activities that keep me challenged, fit and feel grateful for it all.
