Fulfilling its commitment to make healthy living accessible to all, the YMCA of Greater Boston has reduced rates across all of its 13 branches, including the Burbank Y, 36 Arthur B. Lord Drive, Reading.

Young adults (ages 18-29) and adult membership rates have been lowered to $40 and $50 a month, respectively. Rates for couples ages 18 and over have dropped to $85 per month.
“The YMCA of Greater Boston is all about healthy living, social responsibility and youth development,” said CEO Kevin Washington. “To further that goal, we want to ensure that the Y is affordable for all members of the community, from children to young adults to families and seniors. Everyone can benefit from the services of their local Y and this will make it easier for all during this difficult economy.”

The young adult category has been extended through age 29 to make membership accessible to college students and young professionals. Young adults who are living at home and are 26 or younger can remain on their family’s Y membership plan. YMCA Financial Assistance will continue to be available for individuals and families in need.
A Y membership includes access to all fitness facilities, locker rooms, gymnasium, group exercise classes, swimming pool access and aquatic programs (where applicable), wellness and nutrition consultation, and discounted prices for special programs.
