Question

Can a YMCA card be used worldwide?

Community Answer

Contact your local Y to see what the rules are of your membership. Some YMCA cards can be used virtually anywhere, but some Ys have limitations. See which category yours falls under by inquiring with your Y.

Question

Can I enroll monthly or is it only done on a yearly basis?

Community Answer

You can pay month-to-month if that is a preference. You will pay the one-time initiation fee and pay your assigned fee every month. Discounts are usually given if you sign up for automatic withdrawal programs to have the fee electronically drafted on a monthly basis.

Question

I want to join the YMCA, but my spouse does not. Will they still consider both of our incomes, or just mine?

Community Answer

Proof of income is not necessary unless you are trying to be eligible for programs to cut costs based on need, like financial assistance for example. If you want to join the YMCA and are an adult or young adult, look into the monthly fee associated with that category. That will be what you pay and is not income-based.

Can I enroll online if I have a scholarship?

Community Answer

Yes. Scholarships, or awards based on need, don't negate your ability to enroll online if that is your preference.
