Water fitness are right on target
Variety, Group Exercise Classes and Scheduling Ease
Would like to see more water aerobics in the evening for working adults.
Personal training is great
Locker rooms are excellent for a YMCA
My child looks forward to going to camp, despite often being nervous about new experiences. The counselors and camp staff have all been very supportive and communicative in ensuring a great experience for the summer!
I swim.
Good instructors
I like the teacher of water aerobics in the pm sessions Tuesday and Thursday. He is personable, fun and encouraging.
The swim
A great variety of choices, for all ages. Nice temperature control in this very hot weather!
Very impressed with Camp Melstone! Our kids come home happy and aren't begging to be picked up early. We really like that they swim every day and that there are cool indoor options for when it's too hot to be outside.
My 5 year old has really enjoyed her first ever week of summer camp. She has had fun and felt comfortable since day one.
Engagement and creativitiy
It’s a total community experience. From young to old, regardless of race, gender, or identity, the y is open to everyone. The new fitness center is open bright, and actively used.
I've enjoyed my personal training experience very much and am enjoying the yoga classes.
Variety of activities offered at camp were great for my son!
They keep my son busy with fun activities
They are close by. My kids like swimming at camp.
I like the variety and number of group exercise classes
The instructors are great!! If I didn’t work full time I would probably be there a lot more. Usually go after work. Try to make it from 6 pm to8:30.
Have also gone to classes in Saugus on weekends.
The staff couldn’t be any nicer!
Good variety of classes.
Instructors/trainers are wonderful! Lots of class options.
Don’t participate but love the workout area, equipment and staff.
Group classes!
Excellent instructors (Total Body Strength - Courtney and Cycle - Lisa). Friendly staff and comfortable facility.
I have recommended the Melrose Y to at least 15 or more people. it is clean, great staff and instructors, great variety of classes. There are classes for all ages.
Quality of staff and instruction.
Clean spaces.
The jumpstart program and Paul were amazing. I have enjoyed the classes that I have participated in with the trainers.
I am an enthusiastic member of the aquastretch class. I look forward to the two sessions each week. The instructor puts thought into each class to keep the routines feeling fresh. There is a beneficial aerobic and strength component to the workout as well as stretching. I have already recommended it to a friend who has joined. The class is very loyal. I wish there were a third weekly session.
The staff is very friendly and responsible. The programming seems well suited for the children and my daughter is really enjoying it. Love the themed weeks and special activities and the daily use of the pool is a big hit.
