Member Testimonials
The staff is very kind and helpful and the food pantry they do every month to help the community is wonderful I have been going to the YMCA/nkc community center off and on for 23 years...
Very nice facility and friendly people and staff.
Thank you for getting the steam sauna up and running.
I love the hours which the Y is open. I enjoy the sauna and hot tub after walking in the pool and the extended hours of keeping them open on Monday and Wednesdays are a blessing. It gives me the time and chance to enjoy those activities on the two days without having to rush from my daily chores only to slip-in a short period of time.
Thank you so much for those extended hours, I hope those two days can be extended to more days in the future especially with warmer weather coming up I am hopeful I'll be able to attend the "Y" more often.
Blessings,
A lot of seniors there so we feel very comfortable
The people who work at NKC Y are friendly! There are lots of classes to choose from and the pool is cool. I like walking on the track because it’s bright and spacious. A wide variety of people work-out there so it’s easy to feel comfortable. Finally, if you’ve ever thought about hiring a Personal Trainer this is the place to give it a try! The pricing is competitive and in my experience, and that of others I’ve talked to, the PT staff is fantastic!
Convenience
Went for my first time in the gym. John was very thorough about showing me the equipment and explaining what the device does and other things within the building.

The facility has everything that's needed for my health
I mainly use the lazy river as I have bad knees, and it has really helped me strengthen my muscles. I also like the various equipment that the NKC Y has. I have not had to wait long for a machine to work out on.
I have recommended joining the Y to a lot of people. I am trying to get my husband to join so we can work out together!
Locations and friendly people and customer service one thing the pool water can be little warm for the older people

Location, class schedules, meeting people, cleaniness
It is very clean. There are enough workout equipments. You don’t have to stand and wait for certain machines.
The staff is very customer friendly!!!
I’ve met new friends at the YMCA.
-Better communication of when the pool is open, but stuff is happening. On Saturdays, as a person who swims in the lanes, it's hard to figure out when the swim lessons are to avoid (most lanes are being used by the lessons) from the app.
-Multiple bathing suit spinners. Maybe one outside of the locker rooms, so staff can stop anybody who is using it incorrectly.
-update locker room showers- either the handles don't work or the drain is slow/clogged that I'm standing ankle deep in water before I even get my hair shampood.
Thank you for changing the hours to have them open all day Monday and Wednesday! I'm excited to show up before four- when I finally get to leave work a bit early.
The staff is so friendly and helpful. Terri and Bill are great water exercise instructors! They help me modify exercises that I can’t do due to my limitations.
Staff is sooo friendly
I have enjoyed working on my health needs for quite a while. I have had several surgeries at North Kansas City hospital since 2022, and I have always returned to the YMCA in North Kansas City. You just have to have the mindset that it takes a while to recover and keep up the continued work out program. It is a process and you have to be consistent.
Thank you very much.

Clean, friendly, lots of energy
Pool is right temperature and not crowded
I really love the classes with Beth. I attend the TRX class regularly and it is great. I would recommend repairs and cleaning of the family bathrooms and locker room area. It needs some TLC.
I really like the NKC YMCA facility- I have had to step back from my membership because both my son and I have had a hard time finding time to come in. So- for the time being- we're going to step out but hope to return later this year.
I really like your equipment availability and the diversity of activities and PEOPLE at the Northtown Y!
