Membership

A YMCA membership is one of the best investments you can make for personal or family well-being and fun. Enjoy unlimited use of the YMCA facilities, special low member rates on classes and activities, plus first choice of popular classes and activities, and guest privileges at a reduced fee for friends. Being a YMCA member has advantages! Perhaps you want to lose weight, tone up, reduce stress, spend time with your family, provide value-based activities for your child, or just feel better; the YMCA is the place for you and your family. Work up a sweat in the cardiovascular training area, pump up in the weight room, make a splash in the pool, or go full court in the gym. Through programs that build healthy spirit, mind, and body, the YMCA builds strong kids, strong families, and strong communities. Come see the fantastic opportunities that await you!

Guests
We encourage our members to introduce their friends and family to the YMCA. This Guest Policy has been adopted to protect your membership and to assure safety to members and guests. Members, 18 years and older, may bring in guests under the following guidelines:

• The cost is $10 per person per visit when accompanied by a Santa Barbara Family YMCA member.
• A valid picture ID is required of the member and guest at the time of visit.
• Guests under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian who must sign a waiver of liability, and remain in the facility for the entire visit.
• All guests must follow Santa Barbara Family YMCA policies and procedures.

Non-Member Guest Use
Non-members may use the YMCA facility for $15 per visit. Nonmembers may enroll in YMCA programs and activities not filled by members. At any time during the session, a non-member enrolled in a program may apply the difference between the member and non-member program fee toward the joining fee of a membership (not to exceed the value of the joining fee).

Satisfaction Guarantee
We are so confident in meeting your needs that we offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. We will refund your joining fee within your first 30 days of membership provided you have used the YMCA six times and attended an exercise orientation with a staff member.

Membership Freezes
Pre-approved membership freezes are available. Please contact the Membership Director for more information.

Transferring or Canceling Your Membership
Your membership may be transferable to another YMCA. Stop by the membership desk for assistance before you join another YMCA. To cancel your membership, you must provide a minimum of 30 days written notice prior to your draft date and return your membership card. The YMCA reserves the right to change membership fees with 30 days written notice to members.

Membership Cards
Members, 13 years and older, will be given a membership card. Members are required to bring their YMCA membership card to use the facility. For security, you may be asked to show your membership card to staff. Lost or damaged cards are replaced for $5 per card.
