The Rochester Area Family Y has always been, is presently and will continue to be focused on youth and families. Our new Water Park is OPEN! We are the place for the family! At the Y, families will find mission-driven, values-based, quality programs for every member of the family. Our new pricing structure is more inclusive, affordable, and family friendly than ever before.   As part of " Activate America ", a national Y initiative working to decrease obesity in our community, we recognize the importance of increasing access to the quality programs, facilities and people of our Y. This will allow us to reach more people and assist them in leading healthier lifestyles.




  • 2008 Category changes:

          •  The Solo Parent Family membership is being reintroduced to the Y    membership category. It's for any family where only one adult has membership privledges at the Y.

WHY THE Y?

Belonging to the Y will strengthen much more than your body. As you exercise and relieve stress your spirit will soar. The time you spend with your family at the Y will create bonds to last a lifetime. And when you build relationships with your neighbors through Yprograms and events, the entire community benefits.

Membership is continuous until the member notifies the Y that they wish to discontinue. A change form must be filled out 15 days prior to bankdraft
date to avoid charges for the following month. The Y does not require an

they will be required to pay the joining fee. We do require a minimum of
2 bankdrafts at the start of a new membership.

We are an inclusive organization. We receive money from our annual Strong Kids campaign to provide scholarship for adults, youth, or families in need. Stop by the Front Desk for an application.
