My Y is Every Y... NOW NEW ENGLAND WIDE!

The New England YMCA Membership Reciprocity Program kicks off on June 1, 2011. This new program allows full facility/full privilege Y members (those holding adult, family and senior memberships) whose home Y is located in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and Connecticut to use their Y membership at other Y locations throughout New England at no additional cost.

Attending a conference in Worcester? Grab your yoga mat. Visiting mom in Barrington? Bring your sneakers. We are committed to helping you stay active and healthy by giving you access to Ys wherever you are. We hope you will take advantage of this new program as we believe MY Y IS EVERY Y IN NEW ENGLAND.

Who is eligible to participate in the New England Membership Reciprocity Program?

The program is for full facility/full privilege Y members (those holding adult, family or senior memberships) whose home Y is located in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and Connecticut.

Does it cost extra to participate in this program?

No, all full facility/full privilege members may participate at no additional charge. The reciprocity program is intended to be an added benefit and convenience for members when visiting other communities. You need to maintain a full facility/full privilege membership at the Y you visit most frequently.

How often can I use one of these YMCAs? Are there any restrictions on what I can do at a particular YMCA?

Many YMCAs have no limit on the number of visits by reciprocal members. Others have instituted a maximum number visits per month. Some Ys, such as the YMCA of Martha’s Vineyard, have seasonal blackout periods. A small group of Ys have restrictions based upon their business needs (i.e. usage at particular times of day due to parking issues). We recommend members check the individual Y’s website before visiting. See ymca.net for a complete listing of all Ys.

What do I need to bring to verify that I am a current Y member?

You must bring your current membership card and a photo ID (i.e. driver’s license) in order to utilize another Y. By providing both of these items the staff at the visiting Y will be able to verify your current Y membership. It is mandatory that you bring both of these items with you.
