Yes, you must scan your membership scan card in when visiting.

When you join the Y, you will receive a single scan card that must be scanned every time you visit the Y. If you would like to be issued a digital scan card, please ask the Welcome Center to issue one. If you forget your scan card, please have photo ID with you. Replacement scan cards are $5. 

All new members/visitors are required to show a hard copy of their ID to be entered into our system. Have a physical ID handy when you first arrive.

If you’d like to make adjustments to your membership, please connect with our Welcome Center team. Examples of things we can help with include: 

• Adding additional family members to your account 
• Removing family members from your account 
• Changing your membership type 
• Update your billing information 

You can connect with our team by stopping by the Welcome Center in person, emailing [email protected], or calling 360-336-9622.

• Memberships continue on a recurring basis until the YMCA receives a cancellation request. 

• You may cancel your membership at any time, and cancellations will take effect starting with the next billing cycle. 

• Membership dues are non-refundable for the billing cycle in which the cancellation is received. 

• Cancellation requests may be submitted through any of the following methods: 

• • Online: Log into your YMCA account and navigate to “My Account”, then click on “Manage Membership”, and then select “Cancel Membership”. 

• • In Writing: Email us at [email protected] or submit a written request to the Welcome Center. 

• • In Person: Visit the Welcome Center during business hours. 

• • Please note: Cancellations will not be accepted via phone call or voicemail. 

• You will receive a confirmation once your cancellation has been processed. 

• Memberships that cancel while enrolled in paid programming will automatically be billed the difference between the member and community member rate. 

Memberships in good standing (no missed payments or outstanding dues) will have the ability to put their account on hold once per calendar year, for a time span of up to three months. Holds may not be extended longer than the 3 months and billing will automatically resume at the end of the requested hold period.  

For example, if you have a vacation taking place in June and July, you could start a two month hold on your account so that you aren’t billed in June or July. When billing automatically resumes in August, you would not have the ability to put your account on hold for the remainder of the year. The same rings true if you only wanted to put your account on hold for 1 month – once you’ve used your hold (even though it’s just the one month), you’re done for the year. 

If you are interested in putting your account on hold at any point, please contact the Welcome Center. 

Refunds are only permitted when there are extenuating circumstances that prevented you from notifying the YMCA of your termination request. Refund requests will need to be accompanied by proper documentation (i.e. doctor’s note).

• For membership refunds, a full refund will only be given if there is zero attendance within the first 30 days of membership and an email is sent to the Y requesting a membership termination. After the first month, refunds will not be given for lack of facility use.
• Barring extenuating circumstances, if you’ve been a member for one month or longer, no refunds are given if you decide to terminate your membership.

We accept the following fitness plans: Renew Active, Active & Fit (Premium), Silver & Fit (Premium), FitOn, and One Pass. If you have one of these benefits, please bring your Fitness ID # to the Welcome Center with your Photo ID.
