I’m worried about the YMCA. They do an admirable job of serving the community and poorer populations, but they apparently do so (at least here) by discounting on income.

If they lose any significant portion of the people who could afford to buy home equipment, can they still serve those who can’t?

I still keep my YMCA membership at the moment. YMCA and Boys and Girls Club had a huge impact on my childhood.

Yeah, I'm fine with my small contribution to the cause; it's been very important to me over the last few years, so I'm not in any hurry to terminate my membership.

Whether I'll use it again once it's open, though, is a much trickier question.
