We recognize that it is not always convenient to make it into your Y; travel, surgeries, illness and other things can get in the way of your Y routine. However, we consider you a lifelong member and want to allow you to take a break without having to stop your membership. A “Hold” allows you to stop payment on your membership (or extend your renewal date), one time a year for up to six months per calendar year. The membership fees will automatically restart the first of the month following the hold date indicated below.
