Great facilities.
I go to different Places. I have usually been happy with Nort Kansas City YMCA. I have issues with the Wyandotte location. Olathe is another Y that I frequent and it is pleasant.
The Wyandotte YMCA needs some better focus on the service, upkeep and cleanliness. Several older people attend this location. They are often left to walk in and explore equipment with no available help. I have seen them flounder with staff nearby and not even noticing them. One man fell and when I informed a worker his very first response was defensive saying that the guy is responsible for himself versus how is he.
Each apparatus in the bicycle like area is different and it confuses older people to go from one kind to the next trying to get excercise. Staff is not friendly. I could tell several situations. But, the most recent one sticks out. On Halloween Munster Mash or something of sorts, they closed early. They had one 8.5 x 11 inch sign amongst glaring interior windows telling of early facility closing. One white sign with small letters was the only sign. Then, when the director sent a new guy to tell us to leave, it wasn’t clear why. Nobody apologized and they told us to look at the sign
Paper towel machines break and when it’s shown to staff, the are apathetic and put it back to hang broken. It fell into my hands while trying to get a paper towel.
The facility is dirty and dusty. I could tell you where, but, really, it’s eaay to see.
Lot of equipment for all!
Lots of exercise classes included in the monthly membership fee. Very kind & generous teachers & staff. Very reasonable membership fees.
Variety of equipmentj. Great pools. Need a couple more Concept ii rowing machines.
I love all the options to work out, and I especially love the classes and the flexible times to go to the classes
Mentoring; coaching; encouraging; GETS GOOD RESULTS!!
Great organized sports programs - although we were disappointed that volleyball didn't have enough sign-ups and got canceled. But our other sports experiences have been really great. Particularly this fall session in flag football. We were very happy with our coach (Teague) and coaching assistants.

Y has professional, respect and polite workers.
Provide meaningful programs for health and fitness.
The childcare program allows me to leave my child for up to two hours and completely focus on my physical and mental health knowing he is in very competent hands. The NKC Y also offers several children sports programs at a discounted price for members. We are currently enrolled in bitty soccer and the entire experience has been great for our 3 year old.
Excellent classes and a sense of fellowship/belonging to the community
Inclusiveness
The steam room smells it needs cleaning badly also all the floors around the pool. Really the sauna needs cleaning also.
Variety of classes. New health options available
Friendly workers and keep everything clean
TRX classes!
I am an instructor, so as much as I want to say group ex, I will leave that out. My kids love bitty sports and the kid zone, the pool staff is fantastic, and I love seeing the older kids climbing the rock wall and using the tech lab.
a smooth process and a welcome. Looking forward to using the facility and all of it accessories.
I like the variety of sports offered.
The coaches are so nice and understanding of the age group they are working with and the price is so reasonable!!
