One of the best YMCA's in the country. Great equipment, facilities. The Y has always played an important part to the community here in Oakland and I am grateful that they are up and running post-pandemic.

Before covid a lot of upgrades to equipment were needed..clearly the Y invested a ton of money and effort into the space and adding tons of good equipment - rogue racks and plates for days..way better use of the space over all and focused on bodybuilding in the upstairs gym Nice job Y

My belongings were stolen from the lockers but that is not why I am giving this bad review. Instead of trying to help me out figuring who stole by looking at the camera, they were rude and unhelpful. I had to practically beg for them to see …

I love the Y! Been a member since 2014, I joined for the swimming pool. The community is welcoming and positive. It’s a slice of the entire Bay Area here. So, if you like people, a wide variety of mind, body, and spirit building activities …

Bright, clean, not smelly. The staff are friendly and helpful. I like the yoga classes, but have been also known to use an elliptical and the weights. Pool is big, but lots of chlorine used in it. The space is designed well.
