-
Can members bring a guest to the YMCA?
Yes — we would love to share our mission with your friends and family! A nominal fee may apply — please check with your home branch to find out about its policy.
-
Are all programs free to members?
No. While we strive to continuously add value to your membership, some programs require specialized equipment or staff training. Therefore, we ask members to contribute to the cost of the program in order to ensure its quality. However, the fee that members are asked to pay is considerably less than that required of non-members, or “program members.”
