Getting Started

• Bring your photo ID. Those who are ages 16 and up will need to bring a photo ID. 
• During your first visit, we’ll issue your membership scan card, which includes taking your required membership photo.
• Everyone on your membership will get a membership scan card. You use these cards to scan in to enter the Y. You can also download our Y mobile app to scan in to the Y and have convenient access to class schedules and more!
• Be sure to schedule your free guided workout available for new members.
• Please ask us questions if you have them. Our staff at our Welcome Center and on the fitness floor are happy to help.

• Be sure not to come to the Y if you are feeling unwell or suspect you have a communicable disease.
• You will be asked to self-scan in using the YMCA mobile app on your phone or your membership scan card. If you forget your scan card or need assistance using our YMCA mobile app, our Welcome Center staff is available to assist.
• Bring a workout towel, a water bottle, and a lock if you’d like to use small express lockers located in our locker rooms or outside of fitness areas.
• Please leave large bags and valuables at home. For storage of keys or personal bags, we ask members to either use an express locker with their own personal lock, or members may wear a fanny pack to store their personal items while exercising. For safety reasons, we do not allow any bags or backpacks on the floor of our facility, and we are not able to store any personal items or bags at our Welcome Center.
• Clean any equipment/machines before and after use (use the provided spray cleaners and paper towels).
