Member Testimonials
everyone so incredibly nice and helpful.
The Cleaver Y is very homey and welcoming. The downtown KC Y, not so much, though the staff are very nice. It's just that it's so empty every time I go.
I come mostly for the classes, so kid zone is a life saver. Also my kids love Kids Night Out. The staff is so friendly. They also balance being really on top of stuff with being super chill at the same time. The location is great, too. Our house is less than a mile from the Y and the kids' school is 9 blocks south. I love running into friends from school and the neighborhood. Soon we'll take advantage of kid's sports and swim lessons.
I love the classes and the flexible hours that they have and the staff is very nice and helpful

Cleaver is very family friendly, the kids love it here. With the daycare we get the chance to workout while they interact with a diverse group of kids.
