### 1/5 — Why the f__k are there so many YMCA apps?

*2026-03-09, version 12.0.1*

### 1/5 — ..

This app won’t let me log into my account at all, claiming my password is incorrect when it’s not, and it won’t even let mr update my password

### 1/5 — Password reset

I’ve been waiting since yesterday for a password reset email and still have not received one.

### 1/5 — Nationwide Membership

*2026-02-05, version 11.8.0*

As someone who travels frequently, there’s no way I would be at my home YMCA 50% of the time. It’s bizarre to have this requirement for Nationwide Membership. You want people to sign up for the YMCA instead of Planet Fitness… but have ridiculous limitations. Competitors offer 24/7 access, 365 days a year at any of their locations. I want to support the YMCA… but you’re making it impossible for many of us.

### 1/5 — Password

*2026-08-11, version 12.2.0*

It sends me a link to reset my password but I never receive the email ever

### 1/5 — Cannot login

*2026-07-30, version 12.2.0*

No way to rest password and even the different locations don’t know how to help me…

### 1/5 — Website

*2026-07-28, version 12.2.0*

Unable to use!

### 1/5 — Unable to use it!

*2026-07-04, version 12.2.0*

I received an email when I signed up and
Missed the email verification, when I figure out why, I looked everywhere in the app to have the confirmation sent again. This option is not available, went to the YMCA office only to be told that it was an application issue and that I should try there again, I have tried responding to the email the link was sent from only to encounter that it’s not able to respond. So far I have not been able to reserve classes, see class schedules or figure out how to get assistance. Extremely disappointing and difficult to get support.

### 1/5 — In functional.

*2026-06-29, version 12.2.0*

I reset my password. It emailed me with a reset pin.  I entered it and  it gives me an error message.  It does not help me if I cannot use or access the app.

### 1/5 — Can’t login to app

*2026-06-21, version 12.2.0*

As many others have said, login is not working on the app. It never sends the password reset and it doesn’t accept the password even if it’s correct. Clearly the app is broken, not sure why it’s not been fixed…

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-06-20, version 12.2.0*

I’ve had this app for the last couple years and have been unable to use it. I asked for a password reset many times and it never comes to my email address.

### 1/5 — Can’t login

*2026-06-09, version 12.2.0*

Says it’s login is invalid though I can login with same info online

### 1/5 — Cannot log in

*2026-05-29, version 12.2.0*

Can’t log in. Ask for email for forgotten password and no email ever arrives.

### 1/5 — Awful app doesn’t even try

*2026-05-16, version 12.0.1*

Trying to log in with the same password I used 10 minutes ago no reset email even after attempt #5 went to the reviews to see this problems hasn’t been fixed for nearly 3 years

### 5/5 — Here is how to get access to your app

*2023-01-04*

I tried at least 50x to log into the app with no success because every time I hit “reset password”, it didn’t send me the link. I called the Y near me and asked how to get access.

First, delete the “Y on the Go” app. Then call your nearest Y and ask them to send you a link to activate your app account. Once you get the link, it will ask you to put in the email associated with your Y acct + password (you can make it the same one you have for your website acct). Once you do that, it’ll ask you to download the app. Download it, enter in the same credentials you just created through the link, and it should work!

### 4/5 — Can’t get into mobile app

*2026-03-30, version 12.0.1*

I can’t get in on the mobile app. I always have to use my laptop.
