Can I place my YGBW membership on hold?
YGBW Members can place their membership on hold for one to three consecutive months per calendar year.
YGBW members with an illness or injury or who are traveling away from the local area can reduce their monthly membership cost and ensure they do not pay a joiner fee when they're ready for their full membership to resume. To request a membership hold, simply complete this form.
Eligibility & Duration
Memberships may be placed on hold for a minimum of 1 month and a maximum of 3 consecutive months per calendar year.
Holds may be used once per calendar year, per membership.
Holds will take effect on the date requested by the member (must be today or in the future).
Hold Fees
Monthly charges will be prorated based on the start and end date of the hold.
A $15 monthly fee will be charged for single-person memberships during the hold period.
A $25 monthly fee will be charged for multi-person memberships during the hold period.
Hold fees will be waived for medical reasons (e.g., injury or illness) with a valid doctor’s note.
A valid payment method must remain on file for the duration of the hold.
Payment & Billing
Memberships will automatically reactivate at the end of the selected hold period, and regular billing will resume on the next scheduled draft date.
Members are encouraged to note their reactivation date, as reminder notifications are not sent prior to reactivation.
If a payment method is declined during the hold period or upon reactivation, members will be notified and given an opportunity to update their payment method. If payment is not received within 30 days, the membership will be canceled. A join fee may apply if rejoining.
How to Request a Hold
Holds can be requested by visiting the Welcome Center in your local branch and completing this online form. Once you complete this form, a member of our team will review your request and be in touch as quickly as possible to complete processing.
Additional Notes
During the hold period, access to facilities and programs is paused for all individuals on the membership.
Members may request to reactivate their membership early by contacting their branch.
Holds cannot be applied retroactively.
