Membership for All

There are a number of options to choose from to find what best fits you and/or your family. Whether you are a new member, or returning member, you will be required to pay the $50 joining fee. When signing up for a membership, you must commit to 2 full months prior to termination. After that 2-month grace period, you can cancel at any time. The YMCA at Austin Community Recreation Center does not have contracts. If you’d like to pay for a full year up front, please talk to our Member Engagement Team for more details.

Once your application is complete, please allow up to 48-72 hours for your membership to be active. A member of our team will contact you via email once your application is active.
