The YMCA program is a unit/duty location approval, NOT an individual approval. If you have additional personnel at your location/school that are interested AND eligible please list them on one request (service members only, do not add family members to your request).

OSD did not anticipate active duty faculty/staff/students to request memberships because they have access to fitness facilities on campus. It has been found that some universities no longer allow faculty/staff/students to use the fitness facilities at no charge, and require them to pay a "membership fee" (like a local gym) if they want to use the fitness facilities on campus. If your University only allows faculty/staff/students to use the fitness facilities for an additional "membership" fee (and the Army does not reimburse that fee), please send a copy of the fee schedule/membership requirement (price sheet) AND a copy of your PCS orders (with the SSN blocked out/encrypted) to the Army's POC Ms. Carol Kowta. You would then use the universities facility and not be eligible to use the local YMCA.

OSD understands that many universities do not allow family members to utilize their fitness facilities (free of charge), but the YMCA membership program is for Active Duty who do not have access to fitness facilities. We are only authorized (by law) to use federal funds to pay for memberships for active duty that fall under Title 10 (civilians and dependents are not authorized). The agreement with the YMCA is for single (active duty) memberships, and they are allowing family members to participate under that membership at no additional charge.

Eligibility requirements are as follows:

• You must not have free access to fitness equipment at your duty location or within 10 miles of your duty location to include Reserve Centers, Armory, public/government buildings, or military installations of ANY kind (does not have to be Army)

• You must be assigned to this unit/duty address a minimum of 6 months remaining in federal active duty title 10 status.

• You must be able to meet the minimum visit requirements of 8 calendar days per month (NOTE: multiple swipes in one day are considered 1 calendar visit) ONCE A SERVICE MEMBER IS DENIED RENEWAL AT BOTH YMCAs AND PRIVATE GYMS DUE TO LACK OF USAGE, THERE IS NO REINSTATEMENT PROCESS EVEN IF YOU CHANGE DUTY LOCATIONS.

If you have personnel that were part of this initiative at a previous duty station, they would have to have met the visit requirements previously to continue participating. Those personnel will need to provide a copy of their visit report from their last duty station at the time of registration to the local YMCA, which will be reviewed to ensure the visit requirements were met. A new unit approval does not constitute a waiver or permission to re-enroll if they did not meet the visit requirements previously. If theydid not meet the visit requirements previously, they will not be permitted to re-enroll.

Go To Contacts, Personnel Action Team for POCs to submit your documents.

To attend a Private Facility, you are required to contact Ms. Hilda Layne at hlayne@asymca.org or at (703) 455-3986 ext. 107.
