How it Works:
Your insurance will let you know which of the above programs you are eligible for. They will provide you with a Fitness ID Number (also known as a Health ID Number). Once you receive your Fitness ID Number visit our branch and member services will confirm your eligibility. Visit one of our branches, provide your Fitness ID Number to our Membership Service staff when you sign-up for membership (or switch over from an existing membership) and they will check your eligibility. Once that is done, you’ll be a valued member of the YMCA!

Check-in is required each time you visit, as that is how the YMCA will get reimbursed from your insurance.
