New Member Checklist

Schedule a Tour (if you haven’t had one yet)

Get familiar with your Y facility, programs and services and meet the people who will help you transform your life. Stop by your local Y.

Schedule your Get Started Appointment.

Work with a wellness coach to identify your goals and create an achievable plan for success. Be sure to make your appointment at the membership desk right away. This program is FREE.

Create Your Online Account

Call the Y to make sure you have a valid email address on your membership account. Then, visit YMCAERIE.ORG to create your online account. Log-in the top right hand corner using the email address attached to your membership account. Select and set a password. This is where you’ll make reservations, register for classes and access Y360.

Schedule Follow Up Get Started Appointments

Track your progress, review your goals and see just how far you’ve come with the Y. Let us celebrate your successes with you and help you continue your health and wellness journey.

Invite a Friend or Family Member

A fitness partner can motivate you, boost your confidence and make exercising fun! That’s why we offer a variety of ways to introduce the Y to your circle. Add a friend or family member to your circle, refer them to start their own circle (and earn $25 in Y credit) or use guest passes.

Y members receive unlimited guest passes. Just remember that you must accompany your guest while they are at the Y. Your guest is limited to 3 visits and must then either purchase a day pass or join the Y.

Get Connected and Stay Informed

Provide your email address to the membership desk to receive our monthly enewsletter filled with helpful fitness and wellness information, upcoming events, staff and member spotlights, challenges, special opportunities and so much more. Be sure to like our Facebook page to stay informed – YMCAofGreaterErie.

Website & Y360

When you’re on the go or looking for something new, remember you have the Y in your pocket with Y360, the Y’s mobile app!

Attend an Event

Each month we offer family-friendly special events (most are free!) to our members where you can have fun being active and develop healthy habits, meet new people and spend quality time together as a family. Be sure to join us!
