The how-to's for joining the YMCA
There are no contracts at the YMCA. Just follow these simple steps, and we'll help you on your way to becoming a YMCA member!
- Come to the Welcome Desk at 2001 Allston Way any day of the week during our business hours. Be sure to bring a picture ID and a voided check, savings account statement, or credit card.
- A friendly staff person will help you set up a membership and take your picture for your membership card, which you receive while you are there.
- You can even start working out that same day! Staff at the Welcome Desk can help you get a lock, water bottle, and other necessities. They can show you how to get free parking while you work out. There is also free towel service.
