Member Testimonials
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.
I love the programs and how my children are progressing in the swim program.
- The app functionality
- Respectful environment
- Some of us who get out work late evening can still catch a few activities (closing time is favorable to an extent)
I just finished my second class in weight lifting for menopause. I can’t say enough about Nicole! She brought me out of my comfort zone. I usually stayed away from the fitness center and all the scary machines! She is a fabulous instructor. She also has a wealth of knowledge in nutrition and offered many tidbits. I loved the class so much, I plan on taking a third session in the fall.
Group Ex classes are included with your membership! Lots of great classes to choose from without an additional expense.
There's so much benefit to signing up as a family. Classes and camps alone make the membership worth it!
Very professional.
Nice variety of programs, friendly employees.
I like the group fitness classes. Lets of good options!
Outstanding Staff & Program Choices! Wonderful Facility!
