Other Important Information:
Schedules
All live pool, gym and group fitness schedules will be available exclusively through FamilyWorks, offering easier navigation and better filtering options. Schedules will still be accessible on both mobile and desktop through our schedules page.
The Amilia App won’t go away
You may continue to use the Amilia app if you prefer, but the new app will offer better navigation, more features, and a streamlined experience—and we’ll continue rolling out updates to make it even more seamless!
App Notifications
We’ll use the app to send important notifications regarding weather-related closings/delayed openings, and/or other updates. Notifications must be enabled on your device in order to receive those alerts.
Login Info
The login process is the same for iPhone and Android users.
1. Tap “Login.”
2. Enter the email associated with your Amilia SmartRec member account. You will be sent a one-time code.
3. Enter the code, and tap “Continue.”
4. If you get the “Account not found” screen, recheck the email associated with your member account, or contact Member Services.
Please note: When you open the app for the first time, log in using the email associated with your Amilia account.
If each person on your membership account has their own unique email in Amilia, they can log in individually. If not, everyone should log in using the primary account holder’s email. All member barcodes are accessible from any account under the membership.
If the wrong profile appears when you log in, or the default profile isn’t the account owner or email holder, please submit this form so we can correct it.
Find it All in the Y Mobile App
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
- Quick Links
- Announcements
- Engagement Activity
- Upcoming Events
Location Information Page
The location information page shows you details such as operating hours, contact information, announcements, 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.
Facility Schedules & Programs
The Schedules 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. Under 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, date, time, price, and open spots available. Tapping a listing opens the registration screen. From there, tap “Register Online” and follow the prompts to complete your registration.
Add Classes to your Personal Calendar
On the Home tab, you can browse by schedule type such as group fitness classes, programs, pool schedules, court schedules, and more. Tap the heart icon on an event to add it to your favorites. Once added, you’ll receive updates about those events. You can also tap “My Favorites” on the Home tab to view only your saved events.
Under “My Schedule,” you’ll see the next three events that you or members of your family are registered for. Events are grouped by member. To view a full list of events, tap “See All.” There you can see past, upcoming, and favorite events. If you need to update your registration status, tap the event directly.
Playbooks
Playbooks are interactive content and resources created for you. You can access Playbooks by tapping the “Play” icon at the bottom of the Home screen. They function similarly to Instagram or Facebook stories and may feature pictures, videos, assessments, and more.
To view a Playbook, tap the image above the Playbook name. A new page will open with the selected content. To move through the pages, tap the right side of the screen. A progress bar at the top will show how many pages remain.
