A Better You Makes A Better Us

When you hear the name "YMCA," what comes to your mind first? Swim lessons, fitness classes, sports leagues? Healthy living is part of our mission, but the Y has always been so much more than just a gym, dating back to its founding in 1844.

When you join the Y, you're joining one of the world's largest movements for positive change. You aren't just committing to a better you, but to a better us.
To make it easier for you to join that movement, we're offering a $0 joiner fee for the next two weeks. That's right: Join now through October 10 and we'll completely waive your joiner fee. Plus, receive up to 50% on most programs as a member.
For the past century and a half, we've been a pioneer in healthy living, youth development and social responsibility. From affordable preschool classes that give children the head start they need to succeed, to violence prevention programs that help opportunity youth become productive teens, the YMCA of Metro Chicago is dedicated to creating better communities, one child, one teen, one family at a time.
From sports leagues to group exercise and family nights, the Y has something for the whole family this fall and winter.Registration for the Fall 2 session is ongoing now (for members), and classes start October 24. Join today and start saving up to 50% on most programs.
