Membership is a privilege.  While in and around the YMCA, all members are expected to exhibit the values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility towards others and the YMCA facility.  This facility has been provided by members of this community and is maintained by your membership dollars.  Any behavioral problems or concerns should be directed to the YMCA Staff immediately.

Children

Children under 8 years of age must be accompanied by an adult or sibling 15 or older at all times.

Dress Code

This is a family facility.  YMCA members and guests using the facility are expected to be appropriately dressed.  Shirts and shoes must be worn at all times, and closed toe athletic shoes MUST be worn in the Fitness Center, Free Weight Room, and Gym.

The YMCA staff reserves the right to determine what is appropriate.  Those not willing to follow this policy may be asked to change clothes or leave the building.

Membership Cards

You are required to show your card each time you use the YMCA facility.  Member usage reports are used to determine future facility needs.  Your card is non-transferable, and remains the property of the Wapakoneta Family YMCA.  If you lose your card, you must purchase a replacement for $5.00.

Program Registration

Advanced Registration with full payment is required for all programs.

Members shall be given priority through an advanced registration period.  At the conclusion of that time, potential members may register by paying a class fee.  Potential member use is limited to the respective class or program.

  • Phone and fax registrations with Visa, Discover or MasterCard will also be accepted.

  • Class registration will be on a first-come-first-serve basis.

  • Everyone must pre-register for classes.  If classes are full, then individuals will be put on a waiting list.  Every attempt will be made to place participants in a class.  The YMCA reserves the right to cancel classes due to a lack of registered participants or low participation. 

  • Aerobic classes must have a minimum of five participants to run the class.

  • Children 13-15 must be accompanied by an adult to participate in a fitness class.

  • Fitness class size is limited to 25 participants.

OOPS!

We cancelled it because we didn't know you wanted it.  Sometimes excellent courses with super instructors are cancelled when too many people wait until the last minute to register.  Our courses have to be cost recoverable, and we need a minimum of students enrolled before a class will run.  To avoid any inconveniences to students, we cancel classes with no registrations ahead of time.

Avoid disappointment - register early.

Refunds

We do not give refunds on YMCA memberships.  Memberships are based on a year-long contract.  Class refunds are as follows:  100% is individual cancels prior to first class and 50% if cancellation occurs after first class.  No refund after second class.

Cancellations and Changes

The YMCA reserves the right to cancel or make changes in classes or scheduling as needed.  We apologize for any inconvenience these changes may cause.  Class cancellation will result in class credits or a change of class.

Quiet Hours

Several members have asked us, "What is the quietest time to come and work out?"  While we try to supply enough room and equipment to accommodate all our members at even our busiest times, our prime usage hours are as follows:

  • Monday - Friday:  5:30 - 7:30am / 4:00 - 7:30pm

  • Saturday:  9:30 - 11:00am

Scholarships

Thanks to the YMCA base of membership and contributed support, financial assistance is available.  Subject to available resources, no person will be denied access to the YMCA for reason of the inability to pay fees.  Packets are available at the Front Counter.
