Member Testimonials
The ymca is so wonderful. My family chose the YMCA for a number of reasons. Firstly, my husband and I were looking for a gym that we could also take our children to. The daycare at the YMCA is so wonderful I wish that I could send my kids there for full-time daycare while my husband works and I'm at school. There are so many activities to keep them busy and the staff truly cares about them. It's so wonderful to hear my kids ask to go to this gym every single day, and to know they're actually enjoy it that much.
Secondly my family would not be able to attend the gym if it wasn't for the YMCA. Because of the financial aid application we can finally afford to be a part of a community gym without breaking the bank. Because my husband is the only Sole Provider of our family we don't have all the money in the world for leisure activities. The YMCA now makes it feel like we can, because they truly care if we can afford it. So thank you YMCA for making that possible.
Thirdly and lastly the YMCA in North Kansas City in my opinion is the best gym in our local area. They offer so much that they put every other gym to shame. From the daycare, the full size pool, suna, hot tub, a gym that is now being added to, a full size track and the unlimited amount of classes to take sets it apart from any other gym in this area.
There's only one thing I would change about the YMCA and that would be more options for the weights I like in the gym. There is a ridiculous amount of bikes, treadmills, ellipticals, and assisted cable machines. The one thing that could make me see the YMCA as a 5 out of 5 are more free weights. And I'm not just talking dumbbells, I'm talking about power racks for squatting and deadlifts. More benches for bench press because honestly two is not enough on a Monday evening. I understand that the YMCA is a family gym but I I would really like to see more power training equipment. Not only do my husband and I train to lift heavy weights there are so many young men and young couples who want the same thing. Trust me I see these people weekly we talked to them weekly and we all want the same thing. Not every single person who tends the YMCA is a new lifter and needs assisted cable machines. We want to challenge ourselves and we're not always able to because the limited amount of equipment. We settle for what we have because the YMCA is in our price range and because they offer child care, but I'm sure you don't want people to just settle. If I could find another gym that offered financial assistance, childcare, and have more power lifting free weights my family would switch, and I know quite a few other people would too.
I'm giving the ymca a 4/5 gold stars.
