Erin
Evans
Healthy Living Director
Erin’s kids think all she does at work is talk to her friends. Although there is more to her job than that, it is a big part of it. And, she loves it.
Her career with the Y began in 2009 at the YMCA in Charlotte, North Carolina. She has held various roles, including membership director, healthy living coach, fitness consultant and membership associate.
Erin is an ACE certified personal trainer and has certifications in Fitness Nutrition Specialty and Les Mills Body Pump and Pound. Helping members reach their goals and get excited about exercise is one of the things Erin likes most about her job. She also loves seeing people gain confidence simply from doing things they never knew they could.
She grew up in Wichita and graduated from the University of Kansas with a degree in sports information. When not working, Erin loves lifting weights, eating and playing with her kids (followed by a nice glass of red wine!). She also enjoys drinking pretentious and overpriced delicious coffee.

Senior Sports Director
Kayson worked at the YMCA in Wichita for more than five years before joining the Y of Greater Kansas City. He has been a senior sports director since 2016, overseeing five centers in KC. His other roles at the Y have included sports coordinator, sports director and assistant membership director.
Kayson grew up in Lakin, Kansas, and graduated from Wichita State University, where he ran cross country and track and earned a Bachelor of Arts in sports management. He worked for a year at Enterprise Car Rental as an account executive before joining the Y.
