In the app store, search “North Shore YMCA,” download the app, and set up your account using your scan tag barcode. Now you can just scan right into the building from your phone!

3. Kids Club Drop-in Babysitting
   Family membership includes 2 hours of complimentary kids club babysitting per day. (Please note any special restrictions during our busiest hours in some locations.) Children ages 6 weeks and up will enjoy age-appropriate play zones, crafts, story time and more in a safe and secure environment while you enjoy a work-out or connect with a friend!
   
   

4. Guest Benefits

We love it when members bring a friend along! Members 18+ are welcome to bring a guest any time - their first visit with us is complimentary when they come along with you. After that, we have daily guest fees available. 

Adults with a family membership are welcome to bring an additional child with your family for occasional visits on a complimentary basis; the adult member is responsible to supervise the child guest along with their own children.

Please note, guests are unable to reserve spaces in our group exercise classes, but are welcome to drop in if space allows. Pickleball and outdoor pools are YMCA of the North Shore members-only benefits due to high demand.

5. Lockers & Locks
   For maximum sanitation and security, lockers are available for day use only (no overnight storage). Remember to bring your own lock if you plan to secure your belongings during your workout. Lockers are available in locker rooms as well as throughout the facility for easy access no matter your activity. 
    

6. Earn a free month of membership!
   When you refer a friend to join the Y, we’ll waive their joiner fee and give you your next month free. Just make sure your friend mentions you when they enroll! As a Y member, you’re welcome to bring a friend for a free guest visit whenever you like (limit one visit per guest per year).
   
   

7. Program Pricing Perks
   
   Complimentary Parent/Child Classes
   Parents of tots: take advantage of complimentary parent/child classes like swim, gymnastics, or sports, included with family membership! Check out www.northshoreymca.org/programs for the latest classes and availability or stop by the Welcome Center and we’ll help you find the best fit for you and your little one.
