Why do I need the app?
This app will provide our fitness members several key outcomes from class bookings to tracking fitness data and your exercise programs available in the palm of your hand.
How do I obtain access?
Once you have downloaded The Y NSW app and created your account, it will ask:
- to enable location allowing any of your outdoor activity used within the app to be tracked and record data
- enable services that allows your activity tracked in your phone to be shared with the app which ensures all data is in one location
- enable push notifications; this will allow the app to share booking and appointment reminders with you. We recommend all are enabled.
How do I choose my facility?
Once app registration and set up is complete, it will ask you which Y facility you are a member of and will be connected to.
How do I book for a classes in the app?
All future class bookings will now be made via the app from Friday February 12 for classes commencing Monday the 15th of February and on. Class bookings can be made a maximum of 3 days ahead of any class, available to book from 7.00am each morning.

How do I obtain a fitness program and a fitness consultation?
Your first stop is to connect with a member of our fitness team to book you in for a consultation. These consultations and programs that have in the past been on paper will now be digital and accessible to you in and outside of the gym.
