Christie and I had a conversation a couple months ago about this very thing. A popular fitness club based in Richmond had denied a lesbian couple a "family membership", which created a bit of a stir in the LGBT community.
Fortunately, not all of the health and fitness clubs are so close minded about a) what is a family or b) who deserves to be "healthy".
Here is a pretty nifty article about it:

Not sure if the YWCA system is operated by different rules in different parts of the country, but at least in Richmond, we are family!
