Welcome to YCRC!  Joining a Health Club will often be the start of a healthier lifestyle. We value each and every member. To answer some of your questions and to make getting started easier, here are a few tips to help make your initial (and hopefully ongoing experience) one that you will enjoy!

​

1. Will I receive instruction regarding use of the equipment and which equipment will benefit me?

   • When you sign up, everyone on your membership who is 14 years or older will receive a 1-hour appointment with a Certified Personal Trainer (CPT). Your CPT will begin setting you up on a program designed to meet your fitness goals and show you how to use specific machines. Children ages 12 and 13 are entitled to a 1 hour junior workout session as well. Guardian or parent must stay with the child during that session. Your membership advisor will sign you up for your first appointment. Personal Trainers are available on a weekly basis.
      

2. Does YCRC have social media handles?

   • Yes, you can find us on Facebook and Instagram.
      

3. What should I wear to the club?

   • Comfortable lightweight clothing is the key. As you burn calories your body temperature will increase and clothing that will allow some heat to escape is ideal. Comfortable, well fitting, fully enclosed athletic footwear is required on the gym floor and most group exercise classes. If you are playing tennis, wear court shoes with non-marking soles. Regular running shoes will damage courts and are more likely to cause injuries. If you are swimming, you may wear a t-shirt, swim shorts, and water appropriate shoes.
      

4. How do I check in and get a locker?

   • Each time you come to the club you will self check in at the front desk with your membership card. If you need to utilize a locker, you do not need to bring your own lock and key. We have open lockers available to place your belongings in and you create your own temporary pin number to lock and reopen the lockers.

   • If you would like to have a permanent locker, we have a limited number of lockers in each locker room for rent. Ask one of our Membership Advisors for details and availability. Personal locker rental rates are $20 per month and you can cancel with a 30-day notice.
      

5. How do I join a group class?

   • All members 14 and older are able to attend classes listed on the “Group Exercise” schedule. Members 11-13, may attend classes if they are accompanied by a parent or guardian. You do not need to sign up for a class ahead of time, simply show up for the class at the time it is offered.
      

6. May I bring a friend to the Club?

   • Absolutely! We encourage bringing someone to our facility! If your friend lives locally and has never visited our club, it would be our pleasure to host them so they can experience YCRC. Contact a Membership Advisor for further details. Day passes can be located on our website at www.ycrc.com/freeday.  Ask about our member referral perks as well!
