How do I check in and check out?

Once you are logged into the app, click on the button in the upper right-hand corner of any screen. It looks like a barcode. 

App Check In

If you double-tap the barcode, it will get larger which may be easier for the barcode readers to pick it up.

If you are an Apple user, you can add your barcode to your Apple wallet or download the Denver YMCA app for your Apple Watch to sign in that way.

Activity levels are different levels you achieve for all of the activity accumulated throughout the day. Whether using a fitness tracker, or EGYM equipment, creating workouts and tracking them through the app, logging a group exercise class, etc. you earn activity points. 

As you accumulate more points, you advance through the different levels. If you change your activity over time, you will move to different activity levels (either advancing or moving backward). Read more about how EGYM calculates activity levels in this blog

Notifications are important ways for the YMCA to share timely news. We encourage you to turn on this notification.
