The Y is a cause for strengthening community. That’s why we’re here working with you every day, making sure that you, your family and community have the resources and support you need to learn, grow and thrive.

Members must sign a universal liability waiver and privacy policy. Nationwide members will be required to show a valid Y membership card.
Program-only participants are not eligible.
Silver Sneakers and other insurance-paid memberships do not qualify.
Registered sex offenders may not participate.

Share the Y with Your Family
Every Y member receives a free guest pass each year. Please share these passes with your friends and family who are interested in using the YMCA. Although we encourage you to join your guests while they visit, it is not required. Guests may visit our facility a maximum of three times per year before they must purchase a membership or day pass.
Are you expecting family from out of town? The Y is a great place for families to spend time together. If you're a member, your grandchildren visiting from outside our service area (Livingston, Daviess, Grundy, Linn, Chariton, Carroll, and Caldwell Counties) may come to the Y with you for free. Your adult family members from out of the area are just $2. Family members who live nearby or who wish to visit the Y on their own will need to purchase a day pass at the regular rate of $10 for adults, $5 for children, or $15 for families.
