Visiting Other YMCAs

When you join a YMCA, you become part of a national movement of 20.2 million members in more than 2,663 local YMCAs. Because each YMCA is an autonomous, not-for-profit-and not a franchise-local YMCA policies vary on the use of equipment, facilities, services and programs by visiting members from out-of-town or from nearby YMCAs.

While some YMCAs have no restrictions, others may have restrictions such as these:

visits by members of YMCAs within 50 miles are limited to three per month
visiting members may only use the facility at certain hours
visiting members will be charged half the guest fee
and visiting Y members are restricted to a limited number of visits each year.

If you plan to visit another YMCA, it's a good idea to call that YMCA about visiting member policies.
