Health and wellness should never be limited by finances. We're here to help!
At the YMCA of Greater Dayton, we believe that everyone should have access to top-of-the-line fitness programs, superior wellness facilities, and first-rate community programs - regardless of financial limitations. Our financial assistance programs are designed to meet you where you are and ensure that our memberships and programs are accessible for all.
Do YMCA memberships require a contract?
No! YMCA of Greater Dayton memberships are no-contract memberships, giving you flexibility as your needs change. Monthly memberships continue until you choose to cancel. Written cancellation must be submitted by the primary member to the branch where the membership was purchased at least 10 days before your bank draft date.
Can I use other YMCA locations with my membership?
Yes! Your membership includes unlimited access to all YMCA of Greater Dayton locations, plus access to participating YMCA locations nationwide. It’s a great benefit whether you want to visit another local branch or stay active while traveling.
Is Child Watch included with my membership?
Yes! Free Child Watch is included with a family membership while you are using the facility. This benefit helps parents and caregivers make time for their own health and well-being while their children are cared for at the Y.
What fitness benefits are included with my membership?
A lot! Members receive access to free group exercise classes such as yoga, Zumba, Pilates, TRX and cycling, along with open swim, open gym time, a fitness orientation and a Smart Start appointment with a qualified fitness counselor. Members also receive access to hundreds of virtual fitness classes through YMCA360.
Are there additional benefits for YMCA members?
Yes. Members receive member-only classes, reduced program rates, priority program registration and convenient online registration. Depending on the location, benefits may also include Family Gym and Family Fun Nights.
What if membership costs are a barrier for my family?
The YMCA of Greater Dayton offers financial assistance based on demonstrated ability to pay and available funding. The handbook states that the Y does not turn people away because of an inability to pay, and financial-assistance records are kept confidential.
What should I bring when I visit the Y?
Bring your YMCA membership card and present it at the Member Service Desk when entering the facility and when registering for programs. Membership cards are nontransferable, and lost cards can be replaced for a nominal fee.
