Membership

One membership.
Every branch.

A YCVA membership opens every branch, every program room, every fitness floor, every pool. Drop in at the location closest to you on any given day — no upcharges, no transfer fees.

A YCVA membership is a relationship, not a transaction. We invest in long-term members — orientation is free, child-watch is included, financial assistance is available without paperwork shame, and we don't lock anyone into a long-term contract. If you're ready to be a member of the Y, we're ready to welcome you.

Common questions

Membership FAQ

If your question isn't here, the front desk at any branch will answer it in two minutes flat. We're not a fancy gym — we're a Y.

Is there a long-term contract?
No. YCVA memberships are month-to-month. Cancel anytime by visiting the front desk or sending one email. No early-termination fee, ever.
What if I can't afford the monthly rate?
Apply for financial assistance. The application is one page and processed in 5 business days. We adjust the rate to fit your household income. We have not turned a neighbor away in 170 years and we don't intend to start now.
Can I freeze my membership for vacation or illness?
Yes. Memberships can be frozen for up to 90 days per calendar year for any reason. No fee. Contact the membership desk at any branch.
Is there an initiation fee?
$0 if you sign up online. Walk-in sign-ups at the branch carry a small one-time joining fee that we waive for active military, first responders, and educators with ID.
Can my membership be used at other YMCAs nationwide?
Yes — YCVA members get free access to most YMCAs in the U.S. through the Nationwide Membership program. Bring your YCVA card. Some local restrictions apply.
What about virtual fitness?
Every membership includes Y360, the YMCA's national virtual-fitness app with live and on-demand classes from instructors across the country. Available on phone, tablet, smart TV.
Are personal trainers extra?
Group fitness classes are unlimited and included. One-on-one personal training is an add-on at member rates — cheaper than commercial gym training, and our trainers are certified through the YMCA's national program.
