The interface features a purple gradient background with program highlights and navigation icons.

Now that you’ve logged into your new app, let’s have a look around! The Home tab is the first screen that appears when you open the app. It houses all of the essential features you need to get started.

On the Home tab you’ll find:

  • Location Information
  • Barcode(s) to check in at the Y
  • Notifications & Community Hub
  • Quick Links
  • Announcements
  • Upcoming Events

Location Information Page

The screen shows facility status marked “Open,” social media icons, Website and Current Session Guide buttons, an Upcoming Events section with event thumbnails, and an Amenities list including youth swim lessons, adult swim lessons, water fitness classes, lap swim, family swim, strength/cardio equipment, and free weight equipment.

The location information page shows you details such as operating hours, contact information, announcements, amenities, and more. To navigate to the Location Information Page, tap the location name at the top of the Home screen.

Barcodes

Tap the barcode icon at the top of the Home screen to access your barcode(s). The barcode lets you scan in at the Welcome Center. For individuals, there will be one barcode. For families, there will be barcodes for each person under your membership.

Notifications & Community

Two smartphone screens displaying the YMCA mobile app in dark mode. The left screen shows the Notifications page with unread and recent updates, including new member account creation, goal comments, completed tasks, and class updates. The right screen shows the Community section with tabs for Updates and Messages, displaying an Announcements area with no new messages.

To view system-generated notifications, tap the bell icon at the top of the Home screen. Once selected, a list of all notifications will appear. Examples of system-generated notifications include goal reminders or class cancellations.

In the Community Hub, you will see two types of communication: “Updates” and “Messages.” Updates are alerts specific to a channel (facility updates, pool closures, promotions from your YMCA). If you mute an update channel, you can still view updates but will no longer receive push notifications. If you leave the channel, you will no longer receive alerts.

Facility Schedules & Programs

Side-by-side smartphone screens of the Westfield Area YMCA app. The left screen highlights the “Schedules” tab with class and pool options, while the right screen highlights the “Programs” tab with aquatics and league listings.

The Schedules tab on the Calendar page showcases live schedules of the facility. This includes group fitness classes, open swim, open gym, court availability, and more.

Programs are paid activities such as swim lessons, sports classes, camps, and more. On the Programs tab, you can search using the search bar at the top of the screen or browse using preset categories. Once you’ve found what you’re looking for, you can register directly in the app. When you tap a program, you will see a list of available sessions. Note that only programs currently enrolling will appear in search results.

The search can be further filtered using the dropdowns at the top of the page, including day of the week or member age. Each listing shows the program name, price, location, date, and time. Tapping a listing opens the registration screen. From there, tap “Register Online” and follow the prompts to complete your registration.
