Member Testimonials
Excellent instructors. A good variety of classes. Helpful Y employees. Good atmosphere
I love my YMCA, I’m new in KC and they make me feel very welcome. The staff always has a smile for me and are genuinely sweet people who seem to care for the other staff and the people coming in. I have had trouble connecting since my move but at my YMCA I always feel welcome.
THE LOCATION IS PERFECT & THE FRIENDLY STAFF
The people working there are very nice. They keep the place clean and everything runs well.
The staff are excellent and it has everything I need
The staff, especially the front desk and the life guards, are fantastic. I would like to see the pool hours and open swim hours expanded.
- Friendly coaches and staffs.
- Evenings & weekend classes and hours.
- Community: Food, Christmas gift wrapping supplies, etc. - just a bonus. :)

A PART OF THAT ENVIRONMENT.
Comfortable atmosphere and varied activity
Water aerobics very satisfying!
The staff are friendly, there’s so many family options from open swim and swim lessons to the kids area. Lots of machines and weights.
friendly, helpful staff, clean surroundings, good classes that are well taught
The facilities are ideal and it’s never too crowded. I also love the people that work there, especially Mrs. Carter at the desk, she’s delightful and very helpful.
Staff is great.
Elyptical and other cardio equipment is AGING !
I have belonged to the YMCA for years. I like the early morning class schedule. Love seeing Brit in the morning. Mandy, Derren, and Gary teach a great class.
Classes with enthusiastic instructors
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.
The staff is friendly and they have answers to my questions
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-

When you walk in the front door at the Cleaver Y, you're greeted...in my case by name if Ms Cathy is manning the front desk. The entire staff is always friendly, the locker room is clean and the gym is usually available.
Two separate weight rooms keeps it from getting crowded. Their equipment is current and or often updated. The cardio equipment features bikes, treadmills, ellipticals and other equipment that measures heart rate. Swim lanes are usually available in their pool.
They also have some great trainers...Billy and Monica in particular. The age range of people either taking classes with them or working out is impressive. Overall, Andrea Toney has a great facility and a great group of people making the Cleaver Y a true community treasure.
