Everything! I love the classes, the variety of equipment available, and the ample amount of machines. Feels like a true community space. I love the Y and tell all my friends to come.

Friendly staff, clean facilities
The staff are friendly and helpful
The yoga classes taught by Jean. Having four options, including both Saturday and Sunday, is great. I originally joined because of the workout machines and free weights, but adding yoga to the mix is super.
I like the diversity of the members. Diversity in age, race, sex...those who are already fit and healthy and those who are working toward being a better version of themselves.
Very friendly
Great exercise program at 10:15, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
The open and warm atmosphere- the number of classes offered, the machines and the friendly staff.
all the different classes--and times-
Your staff is wonderful! :)
Well, I have limited myself to water aerobics three times a week. This Y is close to home and very good for me. I like the desk staff. They are always pleasant and helpful. Roy is a great instructor, keeps me on my toes and is fun at the same time. I enjoy the others in the class too.
The changing area and the showers and lockers are good. .
It’s the next convenient place next to the Redbridge YMCA. The staff is very nice.
The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The facility is clean with many offerings for your exercise needs
Spin Class Sat morning’s.
It’s a nice facility. Usually no waiting on equipment or lap lanes. Although sometimes there is still a problem with lifeguards.
The Cleaver Family YMCSA has a welcoming, accepting environment. The atmosphere promotes well-being in every form - spiritual, physical, and mental. Family members can be seen working out together. A healthy lifestyle is truly a family affair.
It’s a great safe place to workout and become healthy!
Cleaver YMCA is all about community and one senses this the moment they walk through the door. Wonderful instructors and programming, outreach above and beyond, friendly atmosphere and the facility is kept neat and clean. I think of it as a home away from home.

I love the community, staff, classes, instructors, feeling of belonging friendship I feel every time I walk in the door.
