Families who join together are eligible for a 25% discount on their monthly membership fees

Who is Eligible?

Grandparents and grandchildren (some restrictions may apply), grandchildren may receive a 25% discount on membership

How it works

The highest paying adult pays full fees and each additional family member receives a 25% discount
Once a child is over the age of 18, they are considered an adult, discount is applicable if the child is in school full-time and under the age of 25 (must show proof with Student ID)
Each adult family member pays a joining fee. There are no discounts on joining fees

Hold Policy

Members may wish to put a hold on their membership when you know you will not be using it for a period of time. Here is how it works:

Two weeks written notice prior to your payment date is required to hold a membership.
Persons must be a member for a minimum of six months before they are eligible to put a hold on their membership.
Memberships can be held for a maximum length of three (3) consecutive months, once per membership year.
A minimum hold must be one full month
Membership payments will automatically resume after the hold period ends.
If a member decides to return earlier than their original hold period, the payments will be adjusted
Members are responsible for notifying the YMCA-YWCA of Guelph in writing two weeks prior to the end of their hold period if they decide to cancel their membership. A $25.00 cancellation fee will apply if you have not been a member of the YMCA-YWCA of Guelph for two years prior to the hold.

Wellness Memberships

Wellness members do not pay a joining fee
You have full acces to the Y and will also have full access to Wellness Programs included in your membership fee
You choose your membership type (Membership Plus, or Adult) and this will become your monthly fee
Wellness memberships carry a minimum commitment of 2 months, which is approximately the length of 1 full session before you may cancel or hold your membership
There is no cancellation fee for Wellness members. We simply require two weeks notice
Wellness members may also be linked to a family plan, however, if the other members of the family are not wellness participants, the regular 6 month commitment will still apply for them
