Amenity Guidelines

Your YMCA membership benefits allow you to schedule a free guided workout to learn how to use basic equipment and machines. A Healthy Lifestyles Coach will acquaint you with the equipment and show you how to use the machines properly. Guided workouts can last up to 60 minutes.

• You can choose from in-person indoor, pool, and online classes. 
• When attending a new class, please arrive (or check in online) 15 minutes early, and let the instructor know you’re a beginner. The instructor can offer tips, tell you what equipment is needed, and offer alternate exercise options.
• When taking an in-person class, standing in the middle of the room is a good idea so the instructor can see your form, and you can watch the front row for visual cues.

• Class reservations are highly recommended, as some classes have a limited capacity. We encourage members to use our online reservation system or mobile app to make reservations up to 2 days before the class, starting at 8am. You may register for up to 2 classes at a time. If a class is full, you will be placed on the waitlist in order of the time you registered.
• We recommend you arrive early to class (15 minutes is recommended), as the waitlist opens up 10 minutes before the start of class. You must be checked in to confirm your spot in class. To check in, let the Welcome Center know which class you are attending.
• Registered members who do not check in upon arrival or who arrive after the waitlist has opened may lose their spot to waitlisted members. Waitlisted members will be allowed into class as space permits, in the order of their waitlist number and by whom is on-site at the time the waitlist opens up.
• If you’ve made reservations but cannot attend class, please unregister in the Y app so that space opens up for another participant.
• For safety reasons, we ask that you do not enter class after the warm-up has been completed. 

• Please arrive 15 minutes before your in-person group exercise class and check in at the Welcome Center to claim your reservation spot. Any members with reservations who are not checked in 10 minutes before the start of class will be removed from the list, and all walk-ins will be welcomed.
• Please wait to enter the studio or setting up equipment needed in class until the previous class is finished.
• You may bring your own fitness equipment for classes. Equipment and sanitizing supplies will also be available for those members who do not bring their own, and we ask that members disinfect any equipment used before and after use.
• Food and drink (other than water) is not allowed.
• Bring a towel and water bottle.
• For our live-streaming group exercise classes, please log in 10 minutes before class starts to establish your connection and to ensure you don’t miss the warmup so you can have a safe workout.

The YMCA's practice is to welcome all members and do our best to accommodate everyone. Children ages 5 and younger may enter the YMCA locker rooms with a parent or guardian of a different gender. If family or universal private locker rooms are available, we strongly encourage you to use these locker rooms with children of a different gender.

• Members must have a photo ID taken and sign a waiver to sign up for membership.
• While lockers are available for daily use by members and guests, please leave valuables at home. To use our lockers, please bring your own lock, and remove it at the end of each visit. Padlocks are also available for purchase at many YMCA locations. Locks left overnight on lockers will be removed. 
• Members may also wear a fanny pack to store their personal items while exercising. For safety reasons, we do not allow bags or backpacks on the floor of our facility and cannot store personal items or bags at our Welcome Center.
• Valuables cannot be accepted for safekeeping at the Welcome Center.
• All cell phone usage and picture taking is prohibited in all locker rooms for the security and comfort of members and guests. Please restrict picture taking to your own child. Violation of this policy can result in consequences up to termination of membership.
• Please refrain from visiting the YMCA if you have a communicable disease or are feeling unwell.

• Children must be checked in and out of the Child Watch area by a parent/guardian with an ID. Children cannot be released to an individual who did not sign the child in.
• If your child has special needs or medical conditions, please let the staff know. Any medication must be administered by a parent/guardian.
• You must remain on Y premises while your child is at the Child Watch Center, and available by cell phone.
• Please don’t bring a child who is ill or showing signs of illness.
• You will be contacted immediately if your child is injured, inconsolable after 15 minutes, showing symptoms of illness, needs a diaper change, or shows aggressive/inappropriate behavior.
• Please don’t bring toys or personal belongings, except comfort items like a pacifier or blanket.
• Food or snacks aren’t allowed, except water and pre-mixed formula marked with date and time made.
• All comfort items, water cups, and formula must be labeled with first and last name.
• The YMCA doesn’t allow private childcare by a YMCA employee for any YMCA participant. Staff are not allowed to personally babysit any child they meet in Child Watch or other Y programs.
• If your child wears diapers, please bring them in a clean, dry diaper. Staff are not able to change diapers, you will be notified if your child needs a diaper change.
• Please bring extra clothes in the event of an accident.
• Please cancel your reservation if you are not going to use it so that others may have the opportunity to register.

All Child Watch team members are required to pass a criminal background check and receive annual safety training on:

• CPR
