Important Procedures
Registration
Registration is REQUIRED for all group exercise classes. Members must register via the Merrimack Valley YMCA app. Registration opens two days ahead of your selected event.
Check-In
Members must “check in” for each class they are registered for. You can check in 1 hour before class, and up to 1 hour after class to avoid penalties. If a class is full, members not checked in within 10 minutes of class will lose their spot to the wait list. There are two ways to check in for class.
- Turn on your Location Services on your cell phone app. Checking-in within a mile of the Y secures your spot in class.
- If you choose not to turn on Location Services, please use one of the kiosks located inside the YMCA. You can check in at any kiosk.
