Never Miss a Rep — Download YX!
It’s never been easier to access your favorite parts of a YMCA fitness membership. With YX, the YMCA of Metro Chicago’s app, users can register for fitness classes, view Community Hub schedules and amenities, get notifications for events and updates, and so much more! Download “YX: YMCA of Metro Chicago” today in the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store.
Wherever You’re Starting, We’re Right There with You
At the Y, we’re swapping the all-or-nothing gym narrative for achievable, approachable, and endlessly playful possibilities to move. That means meeting you wherever you are.
Taking care of ourselves doesn’t have to be a sweat. Think less drill sergeant, more fun. Every step, shimmy, or spontaneous wiggle fuels a healthier, happier you.
Go Farther with Peloton!
Get ready to ride, row, and revel because the YMCA of Metro Chicago and Peloton are now BFFs (best fitness friends)! We’ve teamed up to make wellbeing more accessible and empowering for the communities the Y serves. By integrating Peloton Bike+, Row, and the Peloton App into our member experience, we hope to help YMCA members find fitness and wellness practices that bring joy to their routines through a wider array of engaging, flexible workout options.
You Belong No Matter Where You Go!
Members of the YMCA of Metropolitan Chicago have the flexibility to visit Y locations across the nation as part of their membership. To access this benefit, a member can simply present their badge and a photo ID at any of the participating nationwide membership locations. Call your chosen location in advance to check that they participate in the Nationwide Membership Program, or ask a staff member at your local YMCA to look it up. Learn more about Nationwide Membership through the Y-USA Information Guide.
