Member Testimonials
I am really impressed with the three introductory sessions that explain use of the machinery and give advice on an exercise plan.
Classes, hours at Cleaver.
I occasionally go to the Y in Atchison when I am visiting. The renovation is excellent. I do not understand why they are not open on Sunday in the morning.
They care for me! I work with MO and she makes my day!
Welcomes people and includes all.
The atmosphere and the different activities you can do are just right for anyone.
Friendly, good at picking instructors for classes and some excellent personal trainers ---- Cleaver YMCA
Friendly people working there. Nice, clean facility provides a safe, positive attitude for people of all ages and all demographic groups. Good for the community!
Provides consistent group exercise classes, caring child watch attendants, and a community-minded atmosphere. Love it!
Our family loves the sports programs and the extras for little ones, dance classes, etc. All the sessions we ever attended are convenient, affordable and the kids LOVE to be there!
Community! We love the family friendly environment and volunteer opportunities. We love the swimming, too!
I'm not sure yet as I've only been a member for a week. They have made a space for pickleballers and that is a great thing, as pickleball is a fast growing sport.It is good exercise and fun and pickleball people are some of the most helpful and friendly folks around.
The Y makes everyone feel included and welcomed.
Work with people from the minute they walk in the door. You are greeted in a friendly manner, often by name. Staff members are very familiar with the equipment and available to assist. The personal trainers are excellent.

Friendliness while offering good programs and equipment

Ymca has been great for our family and our individual needs. They offer many kids activities and have afult classes.
Rhianna was fantastic with introducing our son to the water. I highly recommend her as well as well as the swimming program in general at the Y.
5 Stars!
Childcare and classes! It makes it so much easier to exercise.
I enjoy the water fit classes. Thank you for certifying a substitute, Rebecca. Now we don’t have to guess if the class will or will not have an instructor.
At Henson, there is a Y printed wall sign that suggests deep water exercises to do independently. I think the sign would be appreciated at Cleaver. Several of us like to do deep(er) exercise after water fit class.
The community volunteer programs seem to be thriving, as do the pickleball games.
The ladies locker room has been nicer, more fixtures working (soap, shower heads,) and even the shower curtains are visibly cleaner lately. Yay cleaning company!
Very good Employees !! Clean up to date environment !
I'm just starting and everything looks wonderful and staff included.
