Member Testimonials
I love all that comes with the membership. The amenities and staff are all wonderful. I would have given it a 10, but the only thing that is holding me back is all the obnoxious kids. They yell and curse at each other/others. I know they can’t really control it, and have tried their best. But it would be the main reason I would leave if it came down to it
I like the roominess of the facility. It is always clean. It has less of a cookie cutter feel than some of the others (which I understand). I would like for the sauna to be more reliably hot. Sometimes it’s a mildly warm wooden room. For saunas to be effective they need to be no cooler than 175 degrees. Less than that and they lose their (very vigorous) therapeutic effect.
Affordable and community focused.
I love the group classes. We have the best instructors. There is a real feeling of community at NKC YMCA.
I love walking in the lazy river. It gives me time to think and pray while I am getting some exercise. It is easy on my knees. I intend to take a water class or two eventually but haven't yet. I have seen some in action that look like I would enjoy them. I also like playing Friday morning mahjong. I have made some friends in the mahjong group and Denise is a patient, friendly instructor.
Very spacious airy and welcoming space. All of the needed equipment for a comphrehensive work-out.

The facility is welcoming, clean, never too crowded, and is easily accessible. The lap lanes are terrific!
Love the classes and people.
I was very excited to get set up on the new eGym equipment and to begin using it with my phone until the wrist bands became available. I was surprised and disappointed to learn I’d have to pay $60 simply because I was out if town on the one intro meeting offered. Love the Y—but the rollout for this new offering has been unfortunate.
Front desk clerks helpful and cheery (even at 5:30am!).
The Y in NKC is more than an exercise facility. It is the heart and cultural center of the city. A community garden, language classes , a food pantry, support for new arrivals to our city, classes of interest from preteen to seniors, day care, summer camps , voter polls, art classes, wellness programs for both body and soul . . . the YMCA of NKC represents all of what is good, kind & right in our city.
Many that use this facility drive many miles (and past numerous gyms) to get to this special place.
The Y is family. The Y is kindness. The Y is compassion.
The Y is much needed support in every imaginable way.
Clean facilities, kind staff, no nonsense pool rules, great parking, on time maintenence
I love community. I love coming in and talking with people and seeing others talk.
NKC Y is fantastic! I have been to other Y locations and this one is cream of the crop. The facilities are bright and clean. The plants are a nice touch. Machines do not typically remain unusable for too long if there is an issue. There is a wide variety of equipment to choose from and the choices for weight training are plentiful. The track is a good size and it’s fun to watch whatever is happening on the courts below while going around. The view out the huge windows is wonderful! The functional training area is quite spacious and comfortable. The staff seem friendly and interested in making people feel welcome. I only have two improvement thoughts, and they are virtually inconsequential. Clearer communication regarding the availability of pool lap lanes for member’s use would be appreciated. What days and times are the lanes open to members? Lockers are difficult to shut. I see other’s struggling with them as well. Thanks and keep up the good work!!

Friendly staff. Mega equipment choices. Kind and considerate patrons.
Great workout equipment, sauna; pool
Clay County senior residents can get a substantial discount. I love the new Egym weights, and I especially like Enhance Fitness with Kerri, and Tai Chi with Warren.
Location
Friendly, Clean, Men's locker room excellent, Pool clean well maintained I loved the swim fitness class. I loved the whole experience. See you next Wednesday.
Convenient and affordable. Has all the workout equipment and amenities anyone needs.Free classes is also a bonus.
I love the equipment upgrades, cleanliness and vibe. Everyone is so kind and welcoming. My kids love it also! Grateful to be a member.
I like the family friendly atmosphere and the variety of equipment and group classes. I have a couple of suggestions though:
1. Making Barre/barre boot camp available to people who work standard 8-5 jobs. There are tons of zumba and Werq classes, but barre provides a more comprehensive workout. Since Saturday PiYo got nixed 8 months ago, there hasn't been a comparable class to replace it. Barre would be perfect for that.
2. Having more fitness options for children 9-12. All they can do is walk the track or play ping pong.
3. Having higher intensity aqua classes available at times that people who work during the day can take them. I have to drive up to platte county north to take aqua tabata.
