Member Testimonials
Excellent variety of classes and outstanding teachers
Classes have been excellent, equipment is great and generally available at the times I come to the Y, and everyone (both staff and other members - and especially instructors) has been friendly.
Have not participated in any programs yet. I did a swim lessons and hope to continue doing hat sometime again in future.
Yoga with michelle g.
have not utilized yet!
Friendly and welcoming staff, nice sense of community.
I just recently joined the Melrose YMCA after trying out a Tai chi class there with a day pass. I was impressed by the facilities - plenty of workout machines, super clean, and plenty of programming. Every staff member has also been super friendly!
Great instructors and staff; conveniently located; good facilities.
I like the classes and new fitness center.
Swimming
I like pickleball. I know that day camp children need more gym time during the summer. However, I’m very disapointed that some times over 16 players will come to play and there is only 1 court available. This means that everyone spends more time waiting to play than they spend actually playing. Also it appears that most of the noon time play slots have been reduced to 1 hour. Has time been taken from other gym activities? Or has only pickleball time been reduced?
I like the community feel of it.
Love Golden Zumba!!!
I like the variety of offerings and how like the diversity of members
Options and hours
Really nice equipment and I like restorative yoga class
Based on what my toddler says it's fun and definitely tires him out. The only downside is that we don't get to see what the schedule is before hand so it's hard to time (if applicable) early pick-up.
Excellent classes and instructors! I also enjoy playing pickle ball at the Y.
Michael loves to swim and has a great time in the gym
Helpful, friendly staff, excellent equipment set in pleasant workout areas. Locker room could be larger.
You have a wide variety of fitness and health programs for all ages and needs. The schedule is flexible, costs are reasonable, and the staff is welcoming and helpful.
Great programs, great offerings. Kind people. Good working enviorment.
The kids are engaged in a fun and encouraging environment
The kids had fun at the Y camp. They especially liked swimming every day and not being limited based on the weather.
It would be great if they offered extended day like Saugus does. 4pm is tough for parents who have to commute at all. I would sign them up all summer of they had 5 or even better 6 pick up.
Mix of indoor and outdoor activities for kids.
Staff at the front desk are great and the classes keep you coming back - First name removed,Sharon, KAY and Terry are all great
New locker rooms nice. People friendly.
Great range of programs and equipment for kids and adults.
Glad that you have the other venues since especially the Melrose pool has limited availability trying to accommodate all. Although a little drive the Peabody pool has ample lap lanes, lap times and I am able to use that facility.
All 3 Y's I've used since rejoining the Y last fall are all welcoming. Staff members also are well trained per my observation.
My use is mostly all swimming, and I don't swim as often in the summer because of golf but these very hot days have kept me off the links and back to the Torigian pool.
So, I so far have not used your programs and activities but thought I'd let you know what I like now that the Y is a consortium as to when I belonged in the 70's-90's a one stop shop!!
A lot odd of variety, great staff.
