How to Become a Member

It's Better Together

Just like our favorite pairings (peas & carrots, milk & cookies, peanut & jelly...), 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 or her a referral form.
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.)

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