We encourage members to utilize the Harrisburg Area YMCA as often as possible. Sometimes, it’s more convenient for members to use a Y in a different location when traveling, near a workplace, or in another region. YMCA Members have the flexibility to use participating Y facilities throughout the country at no extra charge.

Unlimited on-demand and live fitness classes through Y Wellness 24/7 – included at no cost with your facility membership.
