At the Dallas Y, we are dedicated to ensuring our facilities, programs, and services are open and welcoming to all. As part of this effort, we are proud to offer our members access to YMCA facilities across the United States that participate in Nationwide Membership. This way, our members can use the Y as often as they like, making it easier to achieve their health and wellness goals.
Nationwide Membership enables you to visit any participating YMCA in the United States through membership at the YMCA of Metropolitan Dallas. We offer this because we want to help you reach your health and wellness goals wherever you live, work, or travel. This is an essential part of our mission to strengthen communities.
What is Nationwide Membership?
Nationwide Membership is a member benefit allowing all members within the YMCA of Metropolitan Dallas to visit participating Associations without paying an extra fee. Nationwide Membership is extended to most YMCAs in the United States. Members of any participating YMCA may also visit our branches when they are away from home.
What does this mean for you as a current Dallas YMCA member?
With an active membership, you may access all 19 YMCAs in our Association and many Associations across the country.
What are the rates?
You will pay your dues at your Home Y only, regardless of how many different Associations you visit. Your home Y is the branch where you have at least 50% facility access.
What do I need to do if I visit another participating Association?
You will sign a waiver to use their location. This waiver is required for you to be granted access in other Ys, and only needs to be completed once.
Will my member pricing be available for programs at another Association?
You will pay member rates within our home Association. At all participating Ys outside our Association, you will pay their non-member (or program member) price.
Do all members qualify for Nationwide Membership?
No, short-term members and members subsidized by a third party (Sliver Sneakers, Silver & Fit, Optum) do not qualify.
My Y charges members for amenities like ChildWatch, lockers, towels, water, etc. will I be offered these items for free at other locations and vice versa?
Visiting members will adhere to policies of the Y they are visiting.
Is there a fee to participate?
No. Nationwide membership is offered as a benefit for all active YMCA of Metropolitan Dallas members.
