The Armed Services YMCA is a separate organization from the YMCA. The two have partnered for a special program that allows the families of active duty service members to use their community YMCA at free or reduced rates. Although the website states that eligible participants needed to enroll by October, the YMCA Alexandria is still accepting new members under the program.

Those eligible to participate in the new initiative include:

-All interested families of joint deployed National Guard and Reserves;
-Active Duty families assigned to newly established Joint Bases created by the Base
Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process;
-Active Duty Independent Duty station personnel (single or family members); and
-Relocated spouses and family members of deployed Active Duty personnel.

Contact the Alexandria Branch for details.

The Alexandria branch of the YMCA has a nice new website. You can sign up for classes and find hours and contact information.
