Planning Sustainably for the Year Ahead
2026 Rate Changes

November 21, 2025

Dear YMCA Member, 

As fall settles in and we look ahead to 2026, we're grateful for the community we share with you at the Denver Y. This season also marks a meaningful milestone for our Denver YMCA — 150 years of inspiring youth, supporting families, welcoming all and building healthy, thriving communities. Guided by that legacy and our promise to lift spirit, mind and body for all, we continue strengthening our core programs and enhancing the member experience. 

We remain committed to delivering added value through your Y membership, including: 

As we plan responsibly for the year ahead, increases in operational costs, local minimum wage and cost of living require us to adjust membership rates in 2026 approximately $1-3 per month. We know any change matters, and we have worked carefully to keep these adjustments as moderate as possible while continuing to support our staff and sustain the programs our community depends on. 

Our new monthly rates will be effective for all existing members on January 1, 2026:  

There will be no changes to the membership rate for Y Your Way, as we will be sunsetting this membership as of March 31, 2026. Follow-up communications will go out to these members. 

There will also be changes to the prices of fitness and wellness services, including personal training, Pilates Reformer and massage therapy, etc.; you may request price listings at the front desk. If you are currently receiving financial assistance, your scholarship discount stays in place.  

If you wish to update your membership (upgrade, modify or cancel), please submit your request online or visit the front desk by the 25th of the month prior to the effective date — for example, by December 25 for changes beginning January 1, 2026. 

We believe the YMCA should be accessible to all. Thanks to our partners and donors, we provide financial assistance and other options so every individual and family can take part. Explore what's available. 

Your membership strengthens our nonprofit mission and supports programs that create belonging, connection and lifelong learning for all. Learn more about our impact at denverymca.org/case-for-support. Thank you for being part of the Denver YMCA community. 

Yours in service,

Breezy Bolden
President & CEO

P.S. Due to the New Year's Day holiday on January 1, membership dues will be drafted from accounts on January 2, 2026.

Over the past 150 years, the Denver YMCA's success has been shaped by the people who make it come alive. Every milestone, achievement and moment of progress is a testament to our people. This anniversary isn't just about celebrating our history. It's about honoring you, the magic behind the Y.
