In addition to our reservation system through the LA Y App, Y members receive discounted rates and early registration on popular youth & family programs such as swim lessons, camps, sports, and special events!

THE LA Y MOBILE APP

Stay connected to your Y no matter where you go with our mobile app.  The LA Y app allows you to reserve group exercise classes, courts, swim lanes and other equipment, schedule personal training sessions and you can even take virtual classes with your favorite instructors, on your schedule, when you can’t make it to class in person.

Get Started by Downloading the app in the Apple App Store or Google Play Store

Once you open the app, you’ll need to login using your email address.  Please use the email address associated with your YMCALA account.  After you submit your email, you’ll be sent a verification PIN that you will enter when you set up your password.  Please note that you must have an active YMCALA membership to use our app.

We understand, things come up and plans change. When making a reservation, if you are unable to attend, it is important to cancel the reservation ahead of time whenever possible. Group Exercise classes require one hour notice and all others require as much notice as possible.  This practice will allow another member of our community to fill the spot and participate.

After three missed reservations, access in the app will be suspended 14 days. If you did attend one of the reservations and you were not checked in, please let us know through emailing us directly or asking the front desk and we will work with you to resolve your use of the reservation system once again.
