Join The Edwardsville YMCA
When you join the Y, you belong to a community of people of all ages who strive every day to be healthy, confident and connected.
The Y is a place where adults connect with and make friends, pursue interests and learn how to live healthier. Children and teens play, learn who they are and what they can achieve, and are accepted. Parents find a safe, positive environment for their children to learn good values, social skills, and behaviors. Communities thrive because neighbors support each other and give back.
Join The Y Online Today! ›Why Join The Y?
At the Y, we all build relationships that further our sense of belonging and purpose. Because the Y is for everyone, we bring together parents and kids like no other organization. Children can begin learning a sport from a young age and hone their skills that can last a lifetime. Adults have the opportunity to try new things either for themselves or with their children.
From family programs to game nights, the Y provides endless possibilities for families to spend quality time together. With the Y, you’re not just a member of a facility, you’re part of a cause. With a shared commitment to nurturing the potential of kids, improving health and well-being, and giving back and supporting our neighbors, your membership gives you and your community the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.
A YMCA membership gives you so much more than access to our facilities! It helps you lead a healthier lifestyle by building relationships, providing a way for you to be a part of your community & helping you to help others. It sets you on the path to good health in spirit, mind, and body, helping you to enjoy living a full and balanced life.
You will get great workouts through our programs and equipment at both the Niebur (Esic) & Meyer Centers. This gives you access to all YMCA programs, either included in your membership or at a reduced rate.

Usage
As a member with 24 hour access, you may use the Edwardsville YMCA’s Niebur Fitness Center at any time. If using the facility prior to the YMCA closing for the evening and you want to stay for extended hours, you will be required to exit the facility at our normal closing time and re-enter using the 24 hour access point using your mobile check-in device.
After Y staff leave the building, the following rooms will be not be accessible:
• Downstairs & Upstairs Group Fitness Studios
• Spin Studio
• Racquetball Room
• Indoor Pools
• Locker Rooms
• Gymnasium
• ChildWatch Area
• Offices and Front Desk Area
• Meyer Center Facility
We HIGHLY recommend that you have an adult workout partner, who has a membership with the Edwardsville YMCA and has obtained their Mobile Pass, accompany you while using the Niebur Center 24 Hour facility, but it is entirely up to you. You have agreed to obtain a 24/7 membership which will allow you access to the Fitness Center outside of staffed hours of operation. As such, you are aware that there will be no supervision or assistance when using these facilities outside of the YMCA’s staffed hours of operation. You are also aware that if you are injured, become unconscious, suffer a stroke or heart attack, that there will likely be no one to respond to your emergency and this facility has no duty to provide assistance to you. Even though this facility is equipped with surveillance cameras, it is likely that should you require immediate assistance, none will be provided. Because physical exercise can be strenuous and subject to risk of serious injury, the Edwardsville YMCA urges you to obtain a physical examination from a doctor before using any exercise equipment or participating in any exercise activity. You agree that if you engage in any physical exercise or activity, or use any Edwardsville YMCA amenity on the premises, you do so entirely at your own risk. You agree that you are voluntarily participating in the use of this facility and assume all risks of injury, illness, or death.
The Edwardsville YMCA is also not responsible for any loss of your personal property either inside or outside the facility.
Honor Code Policy
With the addition of 24 hour access, the YMCA is adopting a strict honor code based on YMCA values of honesty, respect, caring and responsibility. If members fail to abide by the policies established, their 24 hour access and membership will be revoked with no refunds given. These policies are in place for the safety and security of our members and deviations from our values are deemed inappropriate to our mission.
Age Requirements
The 24 hour access is an 18 or older adult only benefit. 24 hour access will only be granted to those who meet the age requirement. Parents should not give their Mobile Pass info to anyone under the age of 18. Members who violate this policy will lose their membership privileges.
Guest Policy
Guests are only allowed in the YMCA during normal business hours when a YMCA staff member is on duty. No guests are allowed to utilize the 24 hour access, as it is a program for members only. Members who bring guests to the Y with their 24 hour Mobile Pass will lose their membership privileges. YMCA Nationwide Members cannot participate in the 24 hour access without becoming a member of the Edwardsville YMCA.
Safety & Security
Please be aware that your Mobile Pass is to be used only for your own personal entrance into the facility. Members with 24 hour access cannot grant access to others, even if they are known to you. This is required so the YMCA can track who is in the building at all times. Granting access to another individual is grounds for immediate termination of membership.
The YMCA has installed a 24 hour video recording system for security purposes. It will be reviewed on a daily basis to address any security concerns and monitor who is entering the building. Please note that this system does not provide staffing assistance for any emergency that might arise during the normal operating hours. A telephone is located in the Fitness Center area in case of emergency. The YMCA’s address and emergency phone numbers are posted near the phone for easy access. In the event of an emergency, immediately dial 911. Emergency personnel will be able to access the building during non-business hours.
The Edwardsville YMCA reserves the right to conduct a criminal background check on any individual requesting 24-hour access and terminate 24 hour access for any cause.
Inclement Weather
During non-staffed hours on winter weather days, snow/ice removal will not be in place until normal operating hours when staff are present. Members with 24 hour access can utilize the Niebur Fitness Center but at their own risk from the elements (if needing shelter for severe weather, please use the stairwell to shelter in place).
In cases of a power outage, you will not be able to access the facilities.
Facility Closure
The Edwardsville YMCA reserves the right to close the facility (including 24 hour access) as the situation warrants.
