YMCA member walking through the fitness center with a staff member

“I want to know if I like the Y before I commit.”

That is a completely fair thought! We know you have options for fitness in Willmar.

Choosing a gym is a big deal. While your health is the best investment you can make, we want you to feel at home here before you sign up.

 


 

Does the YMCA Offer a Free Trial?

Technically, we don’t offer a traditional “trial period.” However, there are plenty of ways to test the YMCA waters before diving in.

  1. Break In Through a Window: THIS IS A JOKE! Please, do not break into the YMCA. It’s illegal.

 

Now that we’re all out of jokes, let’s get to the real list of options.

  1. Take a guided tour: One of our YMCA staff members would be happy to show you around the entire YMCA and answer any questions before you make your decision.
  2. Ask a Friend: If you’re lucky enough to have a friend or family member who’s a YMCA member, buy them some flowers and ask if they’d be willing to bring you along. Each YMCA member gets 3 guest passes per calendar year and can bring you with them for free!
  3. Buy a Day Pass: If you don’t have any Y member friends, first, get different friends, then you can purchase a day pass, and have full access to the Y. It’s like having a one-day membership.
  4. Sign Up for a Program: You don't have to be a member to join our programs. Register for swim lessons or a volleyball league. You'll see why there’s no place like this place.

 

After stepping into the Y and connecting with our community, we have a pretty good feeling you’re going to feel that you’re right where you belong.


We hope to see you at the Y on Lakeland Drive in Willmar, soon!
