Policies
Membership Card
All current members must have a Saratoga
Regional YMCA membership card. This card must be scanned as
you enter the facility. If you do not bring your card, staff will check
you in manually through the computer system. If you frequently
do not have your membership card, we may not admit you into the
facility. Replacement cost per card is $2.00.
Membership Cancellation Policy
If you wish to cancel
your membership you are required to submit a written notice 30
days in advance to the Saratoga Regional YMCA. Cancellation
forms are available at the front desk at all of our branches. If
your membership is inactive for more than 90 days, another
improvement fee will apply if you decide to rejoin.
Membership Hold Policy
If you wish to suspend your
membership for up to six months during a calendar year, you may
do so for a fee of $15.00. If you have been physically injured and/
or are unable to use the facilities the $15.00 fee will be waived
with a doctor’s note. We require a written notice 30 days in
advance to place your membership on hold. The membership hold
forms are available at all of our branches. Please provide the dates
for which you want your membership on hold, and you will not be
drafted for membership during that time.
Improvement Fee

charge as long as your membership remains current. The
improvement fee is set aside for improvements to the facility or
equipment.
Returned Check Policy

be re-presented electronically, or by any other legal method, and
you will be assessed a processing fee applicable by law. When
we use information from your check to make an electronic fund
transfer, funds may be withdrawn from your account as soon
as the same day you make your payment. The check writer is
also responsible for all other check recovery costs, including all
attorney’s fees, court costs, and taxes.
Bank Draft Memberships
E-Z Pay draft is a continuous
membership plan which will remain active until you give the YMCA
a written notice 30 days in advance requesting termination of your
membership. Members who have their membership fees drafted
from checking or savings accounts are drafted on the 1st of the
month. Members who have their membership fees drafted from
credit or debit cards will be drafted on the 7th or 15th of the
month. Members must be 18 years of age or older to authorize
drafting membership dues. If the member is a minor, a parent
or guardian must be present to sign all contracts. To make any
changes to your membership or payment method, please give
the YMCA a 30-day written notice. Changes can only be made by
the primary member on the membership. The YMCA may, at its
discretion, adjust the monthly rate applicable to your category of
membership. You will receive at least 30 days notice prior to
any change. Should your bank not honor your membership draft
for any reason, you are still responsible for that payment, in
addition to any service fee your bank may charge your account.
If we are unable to draft your membership for two months, your
membership will be terminated. If you wish to rejoin, you will
then be required to join as a full pre-paid annual member, and
to pay the past due balance.
