All the new friends I have made

The flexibility to attend group classes, the Wellness Center including eGym and/or the track.

I love everything about going to the South Oakland Y. There are lots of great classes offered. The egym is amazing. The staff is very considerate and professional. They are like family.
I try to attend fitness classes 3 times a week.

I have been a member for more than 11 years. I have met some awesome members. Many I now call friends!

Great people and fun classes.

I like the variety of options for exercise. Recently had knee replacement and had to cut back on some of the more vigorous aerobic activities, but other options were available until I’m healed enough to return to more intense activities.

Also, the staff and other members are quite friendly.

Great staff. Good variety of classes.

Friendly - multiple workout rooms, great classes, pool

I have only been to a few lessons in the Aqua Fit class but they are well suited to my schedule (daytime) and my needs (moderate exercise in the water for strength and stamina). I hope to build to doing laps.

I love the community and all the classes/instructors. A comfortable place to do your workout.

The included classes for Seniors and the instructors.

The class instructors have both been great, and I like the easy, friendly vibe of the staff and members.

Friendly staff. Clean facility. Lots of equipment. Many classes. Good for all ages.

Love the place

The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, the variety of group exercises that are offered and the wide selection of exercise equipment.

I have had a great experience with the South Oakland Y. Marla (a personal trainer) is a standout. She is lovely to work with: personable, understanding, and operating at the highest levels of competency. Working with her bolsters a more positive opinion of the Y.

I like the different classes that are offer.
