Member Testimonials
GREAT
Bery friendly easy to find class schedules online
Adorable, positive environment, with lots of equipment options!
Cleaver family YMCA is a great place to work out. It meets my needs for strength training. It also meets my cardio needs with the treadmills, bikes and a lap pool. Although I don’t have small children, it’s lovely that they offer child care!! And so many classes!!! There’s always a group activity going on!! I’m also a fan of the rotating puzzles that everyone helps build! The Y also provides a sense of community, with familiar faces- not just the other patrons, but staff too!
Super friendly staff, quality equipment, convient location.
The community. The variety of classes and facilities. The fact that classes are under 1 hour. The free 3-visit with a trainer. Everything. (Mah Jongg coming!)

The pool and the helpful lifeguards
It truly is community in the group classes. The teachers who engage new students and help them feel a part of somehow is wonderful. The classes that don’t engage with new students can be harder to create this feeling. I hope it would be a part of how the teachers are trained to make sure and introduce themselves to new people and continue the accountability of the class.
I would say lately when I come and check in the people at the desk are more interested in looking at their phones than checking me in. I don’t think I should have to wait for a person to get off their phone to get checked in. It feels like a bummer and the opposite of what I feel in the classes.
The people at the desk that do say “hello” and make sure I’m good makes me feel better when I walk in.
The equipment and classes offered are top notch, the staff is friendly and recognizes me and the member community is diverse and a great reminder of the great people who live in Kansas City.
I feel strong and I like going to the Y to do my strength training!
The staff is attentive and hospitable. The facility is well maintained. A lot of diverse options for classes. The community is served and networked well through the shared use of the facility, e.g., hosting the monthly food giveaway.
Nice people, good diversity, lots of working machines, easy in and out. Locker room is a bit warm and stuffy and could use more frequent cleanings.
Great place! Good classes. Nice members and staff.

The staff is very friendly.
