YMCA day pass
The YMCA of Greater New York sells day passes at the branch but doesn't publish the price, and none of the 20 branches we track lists one with its membership rates. The free routes in: every adult member can request six complimentary guest passes a year (each guest gets one visit per calendar year and doesn't need the member with them), and members of other Ys get ten free visits a year under the AWAY program before paying half the day-pass fee.
Elsewhere a Y day pass runs about $15 to $30 for an adult, set by each association: $15 a person or $30 a family at the YMCA of Greater Erie, $20 for an adult, $10 for a youth and $35 for a family at the YMCA of Pierce and Kitsap Counties, $15 for an adult or $25 for a family at the Family YMCA of the Glens Falls Area, and $30 a day at the YMCA of Metropolitan Washington, which lets a member's guest in for $10. Expect to show photo ID and sign a waiver.

YMCA family membership cost
In New York a family membership is $111/mo ($76–$152 by location) for one adult with children under 18 and $139/mo ($97–$225 by location) for two adults with children, against $80/mo ($62–$129 by location) for a single adult, across the 20 YMCA of Greater New York branches we track. Children 21 and under are free on a family plan and extra adults are added for a flat monthly amount.
Elsewhere the family tier is typically 1.5 to 1.6 times the adult rate: $135 a month for a household against $84 for an adult at the YMCA of Greater Grand Rapids ($110 for an adult plus one), and $106 against $68 at the Family YMCA of the Glens Falls Area. Every Y association sets its own rates, so check the branch you'd use.

YMCA senior, student and youth discounts
Every Y prices by age. In New York the senior rate (65 and over) is $64/mo ($52–$104 by location) against $80/mo ($62–$129 by location) for an adult, a student with ID pays $61/mo ($52–$104 by location), a teen (12 to 17) $30/mo ($17–$56 by location) and a child (under 12) $21/mo ($13–$48 by location), across the branches we track. Youth, teen and student memberships are signed up in person at the branch.
Elsewhere the senior discount is modest, usually 10 to 20 percent off the adult rate: $70 against $84 at the YMCA of Greater Grand Rapids and $63 against $68 at the Family YMCA of the Glens Falls Area. Youth and teen rates are far lower ($32 for 17 and under in Grand Rapids; $26 for youth and $30 for teens in Glens Falls). The bigger lever at any Y is donor-funded financial assistance, which the YMCA of Greater New York grants on income with no published rate table; apply at any branch's Member Services desk.

YMCA joining fee and other fees
The YMCA of Greater New York's standard joiner fee is $125, but branches waive it in promotions often enough that the Vanderbilt branch listed a $0 joiner's fee when we checked. Beyond that: memberships can go on hold for one to three months a calendar year for a monthly hold fee, a failed bank draft adds a $15 service fee to your balance, and cancelling takes 15 days' written notice before your monthly draft date.
Other Ys charge a joining fee of $50 to $100: $50 for an adult and $100 for a household at the YMCA of Greater Grand Rapids, $100 for an adult at the Family YMCA of the Glens Falls Area, and the YMCA of Pierce and Kitsap Counties credits a guest-pass fee against the joining fee if you join within 30 days.
