Can I use other Ys while I’m traveling?

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

Nationwide Membership is valid for active, full facility YMCA members. Members must use their home Y at least 50% of the time. Program-only participants (including SilverSneakers Programs) and special memberships are not eligible for Nationwide Membership.

When visiting a Y, nationwide members will be required to show a valid YMCA membership card and photo ID, as well as provide basic membership data such as name and email address. Members need to sign a universal liability waiver and privacy policy.
