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

Facility Schedules & Programs

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.

Notifications & Community

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.
