Q: How do I pay for my membership?
A: Membership fees are paid monthly by pre-authorized payment with VISA, Mastercard, AMEX or your chequing account. For security purposes, credit card companies do not permit storing card numbers on file. Please bring in your credit card for all transactions (i.e., personal training, program registration). Note: the membership is continuous until you request to cancel.
Q: How do I cancel my membership?
A: To cancel your membership, please provide the member services team with 30 days written notice from the payment date (either 1st or 15th). A $45 cancellation fee will apply.
Q: Is there a joiner fee?
A: All new and previous members are subject to a non-refundable $50 initiation fee. This fee goes towards the capital repair and replacement fund to ensure the highest quality building and equipment maintenance.
Q: Is parking available?
A: For pay parking please use the EasyPark parkade for the flagship location, or WestPark parkade at 1000 Eveleigh Street for the Fitness + Racquet Club. P1 YWCA parking at 535 Hornby is reserved 24-hours a day for staff and child care. Violators will be towed.
Q: What if a medical condition prevents me from using my membership?
A: If you have a medical situation that prevents you from using the facility, you may cancel your membership with no cancellation fee. Written confirmation from your medical practitioner must be provided at the time of cancellation, and you have up to one year to rejoin with no joiner fee.
Q: Can I use my YWCA or YMCA membership from another location?
A: We do not have a reciprocal agreement with YMCA. If you are a YWCA cardholder from another city, you can use our facility at no charge while you are visiting, for a total of 30 visits per year. Please bring your membership card and photo identification. Conditions apply and subject to membership verification.
Q: Can I transfer my membership to another YMCA or YWCA?
A: YWCA Health + Fitness Centre memberships are not transferable.
Q: Do I need to bring my own lock or towel?
A: You may bring your own lock or rent a lock for $2 with a piece of photo identification. Towels are also available for rent for $2 each.
Q: Do you offer subsidized membership?
