Info to Know for Your Y Visit

To guarantee a spot in a group exercise class or the gymnasium, Y members should make a reservation.

Effective November 1, 2021, we no longer use reservations for Lap Swim except at Springs Community Y and the Y at Camp Moody.

Members can make reservations starting at 6:00 am two days prior to class / swim time by using the MotionVibe platform.  Create your free account and begin today! Reservations can also be made using the MotionVibe app for Android and Apple, or over the phone with any YMCA of Austin location.

Please check the schedule for lane times, recreational swim, group limits and more.

We will not require mask wearing or enforce compliance in our Y facilities or programs unless mandated to do so. 

We acknowledge the recommendations of the CDC and Austin/Travis County health authority that everyone wear a mask indoors as well as outdoors if social distancing is not possible, regardless of vaccination status.

Since these are recommendations and not mandates, we will not require masks.

Since the Austin/Travis County health authority has provided a recommendation and not a mandate, we will not require mask wearing or enforce compliance in our Y facilities or programs.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, the YMCA of Austin has followed state and local mandates, and we will continue to do so. 

We strongly encourage everyone to continue following recommendations from public health officials - including wearing a mask - to protect yourself and others.

We are open at 100% capacity as allowed by state & local mandates.

We strongly encourage everyone to continue following recommendations from public health officials to protect yourself and others while in the Y.

The YMCA of Austin remains focused on your health and safety, and all enhanced cleaning and sanitization protocols will continue, including:

• Zone cleanings throughout each day in all areas of the facility, including high-touch surfaces, door handles, railings and common areas
• Increased cleaning protocols in locker rooms
• Additional cleaning supply stations with medical-grade wipes, spray bottles and hand sanitizer across the gym

We support the recommendation from the Austin/Travis county health authority that children older than 2 should wear masks when indoors and when they cannot socially distance outdoors. 

When you enter YMCA of Austin facilities, please remember to:

• Conduct your personal health screening before visiting or coming to work
• Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly
• Continue wearing a mask
• Continue to practice social distancing

Please visit our member account page to learn about your membership options including switching to a virtual membership.

Each YMCA of Austin branch will provide a dedicated exercise space in which masks will remain required.

We also offer a schedule of outdoor exercise options in which social distancing will be maintained and Virtual Y programming that provides a full weekly schedule of live and on-demand classes.

We respect anyone’s decision to continue to wear a mask. Our goal is to create a safe, welcoming environment for all. We ask that all members demonstrate the YMCA values of Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility toward each other and our dedicated staff team.

The YMCA of Austin will continue to follow guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and our local public health authorities, and may change our protocols at any time.

You can contact the Executive Director of your home YMCA branch with any further questions.
