How to Become a Member

It’s Better Together

Just like our favorite pairings, workouts go better TOGETHER with someone you know! Refer family or
friends to join the Y and you both get a month of membership FREE. Plus, it’s more fun and you keep
each other motivated! And, don’t stop with just one referral – the more people you refer, the more you
save -- up to SIX MONTHS FREE!

Here’s how it works:

1. As a current Y member, you invite a friend to join by giving him/her a referral form (LINK).

2. Your friend brings the referral form when he or she joins.

3. If your friend joins, both of you receives a free month of membership! See full rules here (LINK).

At the Y, you’re a member of something special: the nation’s leading nonprofit dedicated to youth
development, healthy living and social responsibility.

Don’t forget: It’s Better Together – Share the Y!
