Member Testimonials
Michelle the (South Oakland Y) Lifeguard is amazing! Always good-humored and professional at the same time. Exchanging greetings with her is as therapeutic as the water itself. I notice she is great with the small kids, too. As a teacher myself, I appreciate her rare gifts and dedication. Greg Sumner

I'm now 75 years old, I've been coming to the Y for 9 1/2 years. I like keeping in good shape, but most of all it's meeting so many new people.

It has been great to return to the Y and see all of my gym buddies that have returned as well.
I am a new member of the Y and have had a great experience! Tyler helped me set up my account / key card and gave me a tour. Peter gave me a little shaker bottle as a thank you for joining. It is never too busy, crowded, or loud. Everyone is kind and I see everyone wiping down their machines! Really great place -- I go a few times a week!
It has such a great family and welcoming atmosphere.
Great classes. Enjoying strength training and SS yoga.
Very friendly staff.
Glad the facility is getting a much needed facelift.
Staff is friendly.
I feel like I'm able to social distance and still work out.
When I check in the people at the computers are friendly and helpful. I am anxious for the front door to open because I take a senior van and have to stand outside of the side door for possibly a half an hour and there is nowhere to sit. I am disabled.
Being able to exercise, socialize and relax in the water all in one place. And the amazing staff.
Friendly, helpful staff!! It is such a pleasant experience from the front door reception to the lifeguards and everyone you meet along the way. So happy we joined!
We also love the pool, the perfectly hot sauna, and the bathing suit spinner!
Cleanness, activities start on time.
Close to my house
I’ve been a member of the Y since I was a kid, though I have been a member that attended various locations they have all had a family feel and consideration for community, as well as well equipped facilities/classes which separate them from other gyms.
Friendliness of staff and members.
Love the track and fitness room. Employees are always friendly.
The people that run it. Start with NAY's greeting and smile when you enter. Then off to the pool with Michelle, Jean and Colleen. So nice and helpful. You have some of the friendliest and most helpful people I have ever encountered at any Y. They go so far above and beyond what is expected of a team. I'm all in for Team Royal Oak Y!!!!
I also like the gym and pool too.
