Refer a Friend

Refer a friend and you'll both get 50% off!

Whether it’s cardio with a coworker, boot camp with a bestie, or strength training with a sweetheart, workout buddies make exercise fun and increase your chances of sticking with a routine longer.

Both long-time members and those new to the Y can refer a friend. For each friend you refer in May, you'll receive 50% off of one month of membership. Your friend will also receive 50% off of their first month.

How to refer your friend

The easiest way to refer your friend would be to bring them to the centre to sign up in person—and work out together right after! But you can also visit the member services desk or call us at 250-491-9622 to let us know which friend(s) you'd like to refer. Then they can sign up in person and provide your name and phone number to have the discount applied to both your accounts.
