YMCA OF METRO DENVER: MEMBERSHIP POLICIES

TOP THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW
  • Members are required to maintain an active membership status through one automatic bill cycle before eligible to cancel membership.
  • A cancellation notice is required on the 25th of the month in order to cancel membership. Failure to provide cancellation notice on or before the 25th  of any given month will result in reoccurring fees to continue.
  • It is upon the discretion of the member(s) to utilize facility amenities and YMCA services. Refunds will be denied for membership dues related to facility usage.
  • Annual memberships are non-transferable and non-refundable. These are binding contracted memberships. Once you purchase an annual membership you are locked in for 12 consecutive months. No exceptions will be made to this policy.
  • Nationwide benefits include access only up to 28 free visits for the Nationwide member. After the 28th visit, a daily drop in rate can be charged or the individual can join membership at the YMCA of Metro Denver. 
  • Program registrations – members receive up to 40% off on programming. Program participants must remain active members throughout the program to maintain the member rate. Failure to do so will result in the difference of the non-member rate being due at point of cancellation.
