Common questions
Booking, cancelling and what to expect at your class.
Where has the printed timetable gone?
We've moved to a live timetable so you always see the right class times. A printed timetable can't show a cancelled class, a change of instructor or a public holiday change. This one updates as soon as the centre makes a change.
Check it here or in the YMCA SA app before you come. If you'd like a hand finding a class or booking, ask our Customer Service team.
Our last printed timetable is available to download from the top of this page until 30 November.
How do I book a class?
The easiest way is the YMCA SA app (App Store or Google Play):
- Open the app and go to Class booking.
- Choose the day and class.
- Select Book.
No app, or having trouble with it? Book online in Client Portal in any browser. You'll be asked to sign in when you select Book now.
Why does a class say "Too soon to book"?
The timetable on this page shows what a visitor sees. Visit pass holders and casual attendees can book from 2 hours before a class. Members can book up to 4 days ahead once signed in, so open the app (or Client Portal) to see your booking options.
Do I need to book?
Booking isn't compulsory, but we strongly recommend it. Popular classes fill up, and a booking holds your spot.
The class is full. Can I join a waitlist?
Yes. Join the waitlist in the app. Each class has 5 waitlist spots. If someone cancels, the first person on the waitlist moves into the class automatically, and we'll text you (and send an app notification if you've turned them on).
I can't make it. How do I cancel?
Remove yourself from the class in the app (or Client Portal) at least 1 hour before it starts. That frees your spot for someone on the waitlist.
The Hot Method: cancel at least 2 hours before the class.
Missing booked classes without cancelling can mean a short break from booking. See our terms and FAQs.
What should I bring?
A towel and a water bottle for every class. Bring your own equipment where you can (for example a yoga mat or boxing glove inners), and please wipe down any equipment before and after you use it.
What if I'm running late?
Late entry isn't permitted, so please arrive a few minutes before the class starts. If you can't make it, cancel in the app so someone on the waitlist can take your spot.
Which classes does my membership include?
Most memberships include every class on the timetable. Active Adults (60+) and Active Youth (13 to 15) memberships include selected classes, and Active Youth members need a gym orientation first. Ask our Customer Service team if you're not sure what your membership covers.
What about public holidays?
Classes often change on public holidays. The timetable above (and the app) shows those changes once the centre has updated them, so check before you come.
