YMCA Membership and Facilities

MembershipActive older adult doing exerciseGroup of women

We encourage all those who use the YMCA in any way to become an adult or family member. There are several advantages to family and adult membership. Adult, senior and family members are entitled to take fitness classes for free and other classes at a discounted price. Additionally, members may register early for classes and programs. Frequently, the cost of a membership is offset by the savings accrued from free and discounted classes. Preschool, youth and teen members do not receive any program discounts.

The Metuchen Branch YMCA strives to provide positive progam and membership experiences for youth, teens, individuals, and families, including those who are economically challenged. Scholarships and financial aid are available to those who qualify. See front desk for details or click here for financial assistance application.
