The Y says they stand for healthy living and in order to make sure all members continue to be involved wherever they may travel or work, YMCAs across Ohio have joined together to offer reciprocal membership through their “My Y is Every Y” program.
The program, which launched in October, allows Ohio YMCA members to access any YMCA in the state, at no charge when they present a valid YMCA membership ID card.
“Our members count on their local Ys for their health and wellness needs. Now they’ll be able to take advantage of what Ys across Ohio have to offer. We’re very excited to be able to bring this added benefit to members,” said Beth Tsvetkoff, Esq., Executive Director for the Ohio Alliance of YMCAs. “We look forward to welcoming members from other Ys as we all stand together to strengthen our communities.”
Through the “My Y is Every Y” program, full facility/full privilege members will have access rights to all YMCAs in Ohio.
“We know today’s families are more mobile than ever. Whether for work or play, we’re committed to providing a YMCA opportunity to people as they travel the state,” said Theresa Lubke, Marion Family YMCA Executive Director.
Members should bring their YMCA membership card and a photo ID card to access a partner Y. Some restrictions may apply depending on the YMCA, so members are encouraged to check with the Y they plan to visit ahead of time to learn the specifics.

YMCAs in New England began the “My Y is Every Y” program in 2010 and with its successes the program has expanded to other states.
