Nationwide Membership

ALWAYS WELCOME IN EVERY COMMUNITY

Nationwide Membership enables you to visit any participating Y in the United States and Puerto Rico through membership at your “home” YMCA (your home location is the facility that enrolled you as a member and that collects your membership dues).

We offer this because we want to help you reach your health and wellness goals wherever you live, work or travel. This is an essential part of our cause of strengthening communities.

What You Need to Know

Valid for active, full facility YMCA members (matinee membership and Silver Sneakers do not qualify)
Nationwide member visitors must use their home Y at least 50% of the time (on a monthly basis)
Program-only participants and special memberships are not eligible for Nationwide Membership
Make sure the Y offers the services and amenities you plan to use
Bring a photo ID with you for your visit
You will be asked to sign a waiver when visiting another Y location
If you have more questions, download this "Know Before You Go" resource

The policy at each Y is different but the first visit to your non-home YMCA may require an intake process including a membership form, photo taken, ID check and national sex offender registry check. Membership at your home YMCA will also be verified at that time. Members must attend their home YMCA 50% of their total visits.

With the reciprocity program, are members from other Ys permitted to attend group exercise and group water classes?

It there a minimum number of visits per month or is it unlimited?

Are Silver Sneakers and Matinee members eligible for the reciprocity benefits?

I'm a member and I'd like to bring my grandson who is not a member to participate in free youth programs and swim in the pool. Can I?
