Membership FAQs

Yes. A FiftyForward membership allows you to attend daily activities and events at any of the seven centers.
- FiftyForward memberships are $205 per year, which can be paid in one annual payment, or spread over 12 months via automatic credit or debit card drafts.
- Some people have insurance benefits that cover the cost of a membership, so please contact your insurance provider.
- Full or Half Scholarships are available for those who meet income requirements.
Maybe. If your health insurance policy has a benefit named SilverSneakers, Silver & Fit, or Renew Active, then your membership might be covered by insurance. The best way to find out is to call the Customer Service phone number on your insurance card. If you qualify for coverage, they will provide you with a code number.
Insurance benefits can not be used to join our J.L. Turner Center, located in Bellevue, because that center is inside the Bellevue YMCA.
Centers are open Mon – Fri from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm. Centers are closed on national holidays and the last week of December.
FiftyForward members enjoy social interactions and exercise activities with peers. Examples of scheduled events include book clubs, bingo, karaoke, health talks, billiards, yoga, day trips, nutrition classes, live music events, and a variety of exercise classes for people at different fitness levels. Not all activities happen at every center.
