The Davie Family YMCA will extend its hours, starting Monday, May 10.

In addition, the Y is offering for a limited time a lower joining rate for new members, along with a referral program that rewards members for getting their friends and family to join.

The Y will now be open 5 a.m.-2 p.m. and 4-8 p.m. Monday-Friday, extending its weekday operations by 15 hours.

“We’re thrilled for this opportunity to serve our community with more hours during the weekdays,” said Luke Harris, operations director of the Davie Family YMCA. “We know this is exciting news to many of our members who will now have access to the Y at more times throughout the day.”

This is the first extension of operation hours since the Y reopened its indoor wellness facilities in September 2020.

As COVID-19 trends continue to improve, more hours and services are expected to extend in the future, Harris said.

Weekend hours will remain the same. The Davie Family YMCA is open 8 a.m.-1 p.m. on Saturdays and closed on Sundays.

The YMCA of Northwest North Carolina Association — which the Davie Family YMCA is a part of — is offering new memberships at introductory rates with no activation fees. Individual memberships are $29 a month for the first three months, and household memberships are $49 a month.

Current members who refer new members will receive $100 in “Y Cash” they can use toward personal training sessions, membership, youth programs, and more.
