No. Medicare does not pay for YMCA or any other gym membership.
However, SOME Medicare health insurance plans DO offer gym memberships as an extra perk. It is common with many Medicare Advantage Plans (Medicare Part C) and some people who have original Medicare have a Silver Sneakers gym membership included in the price of their Medicare supplement.
