YMCA Mobile App

I can’t download the app, what should I do?

If you are having trouble downloading the app, the most common reason is your wifi connection. Check to see that you are connected, and try downloading again. If you’ve previously downloaded the app but haven’t used it for a while and are having issues, please delete the current version and install the new version. If you still have trouble, let a YMCA Wellness Staff Member know so that we can help troubleshoot with you.

How will this help me reach my wellness goals?

Tracking is one of the most effective strategies to reaching goals. This app will help you find classes and do all your tracking in one place. It links to other tracking systems like fit bit and my fitness pal. It allows you to set your own goals and gives you progress reports, celebrating with you when your goals are achieved! Even better, through the social feed, it connects you to others who can support and encourage you along the way.

Does the Y App cost anything?

Will my log in on the app connect to the equipment in the wellness center?

Can I access my information from the computer?

Yes. You will use your same log in to access your information.

What do you select if you work out that is not in a category?

If your workout is not in a category, select a similar format of a workout or “other” to log that workout. Let a YMCA staff member know the workout you would like to have included so that we can work with the app to see if a change can be made.

Can I track workouts I do outside of the YMCA too?

You can track all your workouts (inside and outside the facility) and see all of your workout statistics, no matter where you complete your workout.
