Member Testimonials
I love the variety of classes offered for group. Veronica and Courtney keep me motivated
Great instructors and convient times for classes
I love the yoga and TRX classes with Michelle G.
Some classes fill up quickly. For me, as a 63 year old woman who needs to keep bone density up, it would be good to have more classes like Courtney's strength class (which I have never actually been able to attend since it fills up so fast). So classes focussed on free weights squats etc. They could be 45 minutes - but focused on the lifting. I know you have special session classes that focus on this, but adding some 45 minute classes to the groupex schedule to address this same need would be great. Overall very happy though. Ah - one other thought. Personally I like the traditional yoga flow as taught by Jeff on Thursdays. More flows like that would be good too. Thanks!
Personal training department is great!
Absolutely loved the classes! I exclusively used the Y for the classes they offered and they were a full body workout. From fitness circuit to boxing to barre, there was a great mix of everything. All the instructors were incredible. Highly recommend.
So far, I have only been to Michelle Heron’s yoga class which I like very much.
All staff have been very helpful.
I really like the variety of group exercise programs geared to seniors. Also the remodeled workout area is great. I also like the pickleball league for women over 50 at Saugus. The staff and group leaders are very nice, too! It’s an important part of my life in Melrose.
Hours of operation are convenient. Equipment is good. Staff are welcoming.

I only use the fitness center. I like the moving stairs. I call it the guantlet. The equipment is fine. I like the room where you can do floor exercises.
