There is something for everyone and everyone feels accepted. I wish you had more lap swim times available though. it gets rather crowded in the morning!
I love my TRX and yoga classes with Michelle!
I just started the Lift Heavy Get Lean class. Kyle is very knowledgeable and motivating. I look forward to every class.
The new spaces are really great. The teachers and staff are excellent.
I was thinking earlier today that it would be a big improvement to have better free weight racks in the third floor space. The Y in Peabody has really nice free weight racks
I like that you offer physical activities and enrichment activities. I also appreciate that you offer, for example, different sports activities for younger children and at the same time yoga and dance classes that are less fast paced but also still fun. In addition to the more physical activities the enrichment classes are a great addition. I hope for the summer there is more offered on weekends for kids who look for more physical activities and enrichment classes in morning and mid-morning.
Also, I very much appreciate morning and mid-morning classes for young children since this is their best time of day.
Thanks to everyone for all your hard work and time and planning....you have brought a community together

It would be great if the Melrose YMCA had:
- 7am-8am Classes
- Monday & Friday Child Watch
- Papertowels in the bathroom
I enjoy the group exercises. I like zumba.
the available classes and activities cover a good range of physical ability levels, and are offered at times that fit lots of different schedules.

I've been a member for 35 years. My kids all learned to swim at the Melrose Y. The staff is great and there is something for everyone!
Excellent Instructors.
New facilities are great.
The Aquatics classes are top notch! Rubens runs the Aquatics programs with competence, fun and kindness and skill. He has revamped the Tues/Thurs class and it is in demand for a reason. A great workout appropriate for any ability level. Rubens customized exercises to fit the needs of the class and he makes it fun, fun, fun! Rubens gets us laughing and moving. He is the best and a huge asset to the Y. We are beyond thrilled that he took over this class! Thanks, Rubens!
Scott's Mon pm class is great fun and a super great workout. You couldn't ask for a nicer instructor and he spends much needed time on stretching and breathing techniques. Ramped up for those who can, but understanding of those who need a gentler work out. Fun and energetic and full of pep! Would love another night class with Scott. He gets us going and keeps his class fresh. Thanks, Scott!
Also, the guards at the Melrose Y are top notch and so super nice! They keep the pool safe and adhere to a strict schedule while keeping everything running smoothly and making us all feel welcome. We always feel safe with the Melrose y guards around!
Let's not forget the front desk staff and office and cleaning staff. Friendly faces and highly competent. You all go the extra mile to help in any way you can.
Yoga Flow and Yoga Sculpt and the availability of treadmills and weights
I joined the Melrose Y just a few weeks ago, and I can say everyone has been super friendly and accommodating. I asked (far too many) questions lol, and I've felt very welcomed. This is especially true for the group classes.
The fitness center is clean and well-maintained. The staff members are friendly, approachable, and efficient.
