Why join the YMCA?

We know when it comes to fitness, you have many choices. The YMCA isn’t ONLY about getting in good shape. It is a community resource organization, aimed at improving the spirit, mind and body of all who want to participate. You may be able to find a less expensive alternative to lift weights but we’re confident you will not find another place in the Corning-Painted Post area that will feed you — spirit, mind and body – like the YMCA can. We are committed to building strong kids, strong families and strong communities.

Membership

Our current membership rates are available at the front desk, page three of this brochure, or online at www.corningymca.org. New member rates include a Joiner's Fee which you will not have to pay again as long as your membership is not terminated. New member fees apply to all first time memberships and to memberships that have expired by no more than 30 days. All memberships are sold on a variety of basis with the majority being via monthly bank draft. Membership fees are nonrefundable and nontransferable to another person or another YMCA.

Membership Changes/Terminations:

In the event payment is not received by the renewal date, the membership will be terminated.
