Welcome to our Y

The Manatee County Y is reaching out to our members and to the community by providing affordable membership and programs during the current economic struggle. We recognize the financial hardships that many are facing. For this reason we have revised some membership fees and membership descriptions to better serve today's households effective January 1, 2012.

Membership fees for families, seniors and teens have been lowered for county-wide memberships at Bradenton Branch, Lakewood Ranch Branch and Parrish Branch. A full-time student membership has been added for ages 12-24 years of age (18-24 years of age must show proof of full-time student status.)  Family and couple membership types have been changed to two adults living in the same household, regardless of marital status. (For example; a mom with children and grandmother living in same household can have a family membership.)  We will offer a 20% discount or more to members for all fee-baed programs and youth sports and swimming lessons for members will be $5.00 per person, per session/season.

Also look for facility changes at our branches to better serve our growing community. The expansion project at the Lakewood Ranch Branch Y is here! The expansion project involves a fitness center twice the size of the current space, a Yoga/Dance Studio, group cycling room, an assessment room for one-on-one fitness evaluations, new aerobic studio, teen center, child care room and new conference room. Coming soon at the Bradenton Branch Y is a Cycling Room, expanded Kid Zone and additional fitness and exercise areas for members.  We are also happy to announce a new and improved  Corporate Challenge Membership Program that will begin January 1st!  Ready to invest in a membership to the Y for your employees to encourage a healthy lifestyle? Look no further, contact the branch of your choice to find out how to sign up and SAVE! 

The Y consists of men, women and children of all ages, from all walks of life joining together to strengthen the foundations of our community.  With a commitment to nurturing the potential in children, promoting healthy living, and fostering a sense of social responsibility, the Y ensures that every individual has access to the essentials necessary to learn, grow, and thrive. If you are not already part of the Y family, now is the best time to join!
