I was there on Saturday to participate in the new Les Mills launch, and I greatly enjoyed the classes and instructors! I recommend the North KC Y to many people!
It's a great environment where you can go in and participate in any type of athletic exercise to get yourself in better shape. The facility is very clean, and, the folks are very friendly and helpful in getting you set up properly.

Actually, I've not been able to experience this particular Y because the day of my visit the pool was closed due to maintenance issues. The reason for my score of 10 is because I like the location and the size of the pool area.
I rotate between 3 YMCA's because everyone has a different thing I like. For example, my favorite things at Northtown are the hot sauna, the tire that you can flip and the assisted pull up/chin up bar and the lazy river. And the slide. Also, the patrons there seem very serious about their fitness and people of all ages and types are there. No one is overly aggressive and as a single woman I can go there without fear any time of day. It is not ok to share my name outside of this survey but it is ok to share this comment.
I love the pool and the walking track for individual exercise. I love the variety of classes for group experiences - I've made new friends just by joining in classes. It's much more fun to have people to relate to when working out. The convenience of the location, hours, cleanliness, and ample parking make it a great place to go.
I love the camaraderie in the pool during our stretching class with Bill. The Y has a very inviting atmosphere. I do not like that it has taken way too long to get the new pool heater!!!!!
