ActivTrax is also accessible right in the app. No more paper and pencil. No more logging in at the kiosk. You have everything you need for your next great workout in the palm of your hand.

Refer a Friend

Referring friends has never been easier. Now you can send your referral directly through the app so you can let us know who you want to join you on your wellness journey the moment they cross your mind.

Extras

The Y is so much more than a gym. In our Extras, you can search and register for programs, get a glimpse of how the Y is making an impact in your neighborhood, and maybe even find your next career working for an organization committed to strengthening the foundations of community. But, you can also make your Group Exercise, Lap Swim, Gym and KidZone reservations here, too.

Connected Apps

You can connect your favorite fitness apps like RunKeeper, MyFitnessPal, Fitbit and AppleHealth directly to your Y app so you can easily keep track of workouts without having to enter them in separate locations. It also syncs with your Apple Watch so any workouts you log on your watch will automatically be added to the app. It’s your fitness life, all in one place.

Donate

The YMCA relies on the generosity of others to help our cause of strengthening the community. We hope that you continue to support us in our mission as we work together toward a better US.

Activity Feed

You can see other members’ activity, converse with friends, encourage each other, and celebrate small victories–like just showing up. The Activity Feed lets you be a part of a network of people who share similar interests and goals.

Feedback

Of course, we always want to serve you better and welcome your feedback at any time. Help us make the Y a better place for all by sharing your thoughts with us.
