With the YMCA MN app, you can add your membership card (your entire family's cards) so you can sign in quickly for the gym, swim lessons, etc. You can add your fitness trackers to track all of your workouts in one place - creating training plans with your trainer, adding eGym equipment workouts, and signing in through the matrix equipment to see your entire fitness journey in one place. You can see GroupEx classes, find information about your YMCA, and access Virtual Y all in one place.

Go to the Apple or Android app store and search "YMCA MN". There are a lot of YMCAs out there, so make sure you find the right one. If you're on your phone, you can download our app here. 

The app will automatically push to your device on March 7 if you have auto updates enabled. If you don't, check your device settings for the best way to update your apps.

The app works on Apple phones & iPads, Android mobile phones, and some tablets. We recommend you access it on a mobile device as the app is optimized for those devices. While it may work in other spaces, the app was not designed for tablet users, and the results may be a little clunky.

If you already were signed into the old app, there will be no need to resign into the new app. If you are downloading the YMCA MN App for the first time, follow the instructions below.

Once you have downloaded the app, you create an account. We recommend that you use the email address associated with the email you used to sign up at the YMCA. That way it is easier for you to log into Virtual Y.

If you already have an account, but cannot remember the password, just click the reset password link, and reset instructions will be emailed to you shortly. We recommend that you fill in the profile information because it will have a direct impact on your bio age information and workout history details.

If you had a username, but cannot remember it, reach out to digitalsupport@egym.com. Average first response time for customers is 12 hours. Time to resolution is dependent upon the complexity of the case and the current case volume. Simple account recovery typically takes 48-72 hours to resolve.

Once you are logged into the app, click on the button in the upper right-hand corner of any screen. It looks like a barcode. If you double-tap the barcode, it will get larger which may be easier for the barcode readers to pick it up. If you are an Apple user, you can add your barcode to your apple wallet or download the YMCA MN app for your Apple Watch to sign in that way

On the homepage, click on classes. Search by class type for the class you want to book. Click on the class. If it is open for booking and there are spots left, there will be a purple Book Classes button at the bottom. To book a class, you do need to be logged into your GroupExPro account. For more information on registration, please check out our webpage: Reservations.

In the top left-hand corner of any page, you will see an icon with your initials (or the picture you choose to set). Tap that icon and then navigate to the Connected Apps link. Here you can add any of the tracking apps listed on the page. They are Apple Health, Fitbit, Garmin, MapMyFitness, Misfit, MyFitnessPal, Precor, Runkeeper, Strava, Suunot, TomTom, and Withings. You can also sync your XID account, which is all of the Matrix cardio equipment at our YMCAs. If you sync XID, your cardio workouts will automatically sync your matrix workouts to the app without needing a smart device.

From the home screen, scroll down to the “Virtual Y” purple tile. Click the tile, and you will be redirected to the Virtual Y log-in screen. Log into Virtual Y using your login information.

Bio age is a measurement to show how your fitness performance matches up against other people your age. It is calculated on the average of your metabolism, cardio, strength, and flexibility to more accurately reflect your holistic fitness journey. Update your profile information for a more accurate result.

Navigate to the App Profile information as outlined above. At the bottom of the page, you can choose your home location.

Activity levels are different levels you achieve for all of the activity accumulated throughout the day. Whether using a fitness tracker, or eGym equipment, creating workouts and tracking them through the app, logging a group exercise class, etc. you earn activity points. As you accumulate more points, you advance through the different levels. If you change your activity over time, you will move to different activity levels (either advancing or moving backward). For more information on how eGym calculates activity levels, please read more on their blog: EGYM Activity Level

If you still have questions, contact the fitness desk or the member services team member or email us.
