NO ENROLLMENT FEE PLUS $100 Y BUCKS

February 01, 2012

No Enrollment Fee Deal Extended through February 6 

CHICAGO, IL – There’s still time to commit to being a healthier you in 2012! YMCA of Metropolitan Chicago member centers have extended their New Year’s deals and will waive enrollment fees to new members through February 6, and provide new members with $100 Y bucks that can be used for Y programs.

The YMCA is committed to promoting healthy lifestyles and Ys across Chicagoland offer members a number of fitness choices, in addition to access to Y programs and services. New members who join the Y before February 6 will also receive $100 Y bucks, to be used on a variety of classes – including specialty fitness classes, youth programs, personal training, day camp and more!

Members enjoy access to all Y of Metro Chicago facilities throughout the City of Chicago and the Collar County region, as well as the opportunity to utilize the ActivTrax virtual training system. This web-based technology can be accessed from members’ home computers and offers customized exercise and nutritional guidance based upon the needs and goals of each member, using equipment that is available at the Y. After school programs, summer camps, sports and other activites offer fun, safe and healthy options for all ages.

Although people know the Y best for swimming, water safety and fitness, but that's just part of what you and your family will get with a Y membership. Across Chicago and the Collar Counties, the Y develops and nurtures the potential of more than half a million people each year. Through cause-driven programs, the Y opens doors, builds character, strengthens neighborhoods and bring families together.
