Military Discounts & Initiatives
The YMCA of Greater Fort Wayne continues to offer local military service personnel the opportunity to participate in the YMCA at a special rate. Effective May 1, 2024, the military discount increases to 10% off each membership type with no joiner fee (an additional $75 savings). Existing members already receiving the previous military discount will have their membership amount adjusted to the new lower fee automatically beginning with the May draw. Members are only entitled to one discount per unit.
Eligibility for Military Membership Discount
Active military personnel including members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and Space Force. Members of the Armed Forces Reserve, National Guard, new military recruits, veterans, and military service retirees are also eligible for the discount.
