YMCA is one of the biggest gym chains in the United States by a number of locations and members. It has more than 2,700 locations in the country.
YMCA has a reputation for being a no-nonsense gym. While you might expect it to be one of the cheaper gyms based on its nonprofit status, it turns out YMCA gyms are not exactly cheap.
But in general, they are worth their price. They typically offer a wide range of fitness classes and equipment. Some also offer swimming pools.
Membership fees at YMCA vary based on locations. Typically, dues range from $20 – $25 for youths (below 18), $30 to $50 for young adults (18 – 25), $50 to $70 for adults (25 – 60), and $40 to $55 for seniors (65+).
By canceling your YMCA membership, you can save up to $840 per year.
YMCA Membership Cancellation Policy
YMCA does not require contracts on its members. However, members are free to cancel at any time. To avoid having to pay, they must submit a written notice to cancel their membership at least 14 days before their next draft date.
Most memberships are month to month. If yours are in good standing, they will automatically renew once the 30-day cycle has ended.
There are also membership types that are affiliated with a specific program or initiative. These types of membership do not renew at the end of the membership cycle.
The membership cycle begins the day a member joins and ends 30 days after that member has paid off their balance.
Members can also prepay for annual, 6-month, or 3-month membership cycles. These plans typically renew every 30 days.
Members can cancel their membership at any time by providing a written notice to stop their subscription from automatically renewing.
