The egym, customer service and group classes available
I’ve had wonderful experience after wonderful experience at the South Oakland Y. Marla is a great personal trainer and instructor. Taking a fitness class with her instruction has reaffirmed my satisfaction with my membership.
I have gone to this YMCA for some time and consider it my home pool. I've joined other health clubs but never felt the same about them. This Y works well for me. It's got good swim hours, is clean, and the employees are friendly.
The yoga classes
Environment, people, programs
Staff friendly and helpful
a clean nice place to work out and swim. However, i still suggest expanding the morning swimming hours before 6:30 am. I would suggest at least from 6 am, or it just too rash for people who enjoy swimming before work.
Also the last time I went to the downtown YMCA, the water was not clean, people who went there didn't rinse themselves but got in anyway. After swimming there my skin had some infections. Then I never go back there again!
Friendly staff. Caring instructors.
I love the OAO and chair Yoga classes. Also, I'm 84 years old and love getting out and interacting with other seniors.
Every staff member is friendly and supportive and professional. From the front desk staff the to trainers in the fitness areas to the instructors to the lifeguards. Everyone makes it a great place to work out at your own level in a safe, comfortable environment!
The price
Convenient location, clean facilities and friendly staff members.
I enjoy the group classes best.
The Y is my happy place. I love all the new machines!
E-gym
The facility is clean and maintained very well. The staff is friendly and always pleasant.
I like the number and types of equipment available. The Y is open long enough to serve my needs. And I like the group activity options. I sometimes wish there were more group classes and times as they frequently are filled long before the sessions begin.
I like that everyone is nice and very friendly!
Staff and the people doing the classes!!
The staff and visitors are friendly and a pleasure to be around. The facility is always clean.
It is an easy place to accomplish difficult, but necessary things.
Love the EGYM and Sauna!
I always enjoy my time spent at the Y.
The South Oakland Y is centrally located, has all the basics for fitness ( pool, wellness center, gym, classes), has a great staff, and friendly, diverse members.
The locker room could be cleaned a bit more regularly, but the effort has improved over the last year.
I love the EGYM! The staff is fried and the facility is clean
Polite to senior citizens
It’s has a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere
You need to have more than two recumbent bikes on the first floor. I bring my dad and I often cannot exercise with him because the second bike isn’t an available. I can’t leave him so I do t get to exercise
Friendly atmosphere
