1.
Can I add someone on my membership other than my spouse and children?
No, other adults would need to purchase their own membership. To add children, you must be their legal guardian. Grandchildren cannot be added to the membership unless the grandparents have custody of the children.
2.
Do we have memberships for low income families or children?
We have financial aid assistance for adult individuals or families at all of our Y locations. You would need to fill out financial aid forms and submit them to the Y's Membership Coordinator at the Y May Building (935 10th Avenue). The May Building memberships are for adults and families. Youth (18 and under) can apply for financial assistance at the Phil Cline Family Y (917 9th Street). Youth, senior, and disability programs are emphasized at the Phil Cline Family Y.
3.
Is the Y connected to the YWCA?
The Y is a separate organization with its own Board of Directors and staff. In some cities these two separate agencies may share the same building but in Huntington, WV, each agency has its own facilities.
4.
I’m a member of another Y; can I use your facility while I am in town?
If you are visiting the area, are a member of another Y and live 50 miles or more away from the Huntington Y, you may use the Huntington Y four times a month with no charge. If you are a college student attending a local college and are a member of your hometown Y you cannot use your Y membership and come to the Huntington Y; you must join the Huntington Y by either purchasing a semester membership or an annual membership. Tri County and Ashland Y members can use the Huntington Y with their membership card and pay a $4.00 daily fee.
5.
I am only going to be living in Huntington or the Tri State Area for a short time and I do not want to pay for a whole year, what can I do?
Sign up on the Bank or Credit Card Draft (E-Pay) and 30 days before you move, submit a “30 Day Cancellation Letter” to the Membership Director with a forwarding address. Your membership will be terminated at the end of the 30 days.
6.
If I moved to Huntington and I am a member of another Y will my membership transfer to Huntington Y?
No, you must cancel your membership at the other Y and join the Huntington Y. If you paid a building fee at your previous Y we will waive our building fee when you join, however, we must have a letter from your previous Y stating that you paid a building fee.
7.
Can I purchase a daily pass?
No, you must be a guest of a current Huntington Y member and you can only utilize this service twice in 12 months. There is a $10 daily guest pass fee for each guest.
8.
Can I purchase a membership just to use the pool?
No, we do not sell memberships for specific areas of the Huntington Y May Building; when you join, you have access to all areas of the May Building.
9.
What are the benefits of Fitlinxx?
We have introduced the FitLinxx “Fitness Software” Program to help you perform your exercise routine properly and track your workouts and progress. This will give your fitness instructor a communication tool to review your workouts and make suggestions to improve your routine.
The equipment integrates with the current Nautilus machines to track each and every rep and to ensure they are performed in the proper manner. It also hosts a web based component for logging outside the Y routines into your personal account. This is a free service to help you get more out of your membership.
