Member Testimonials
The exercises have helped strengthen my core making it easier to walk and do stairs, the instructor is very observant of all members ability to participate, the comraderie of the members.
We love when the director of aquatics teaches parent-child program, he is the best!
I’ve already recommended aqua stretch to several friends. The pool is welcoming for classes and lap swimming. The lifeguard team is great. Really enjoy my membership.
Friendly staff, open until 9 pm, good machines, nice variety of options from free senior fitness classes to reasonably prices lessons and personal training.
My son loves all the programs - strength and conditioning, flag football, dodgeball
Great programs for kids and my daughter enjoys!
Instructors are all amazing, positive, and motivating! I love Veronica’s classes as I have attended those the most, but also enjoy classes by Courtney, Jeff, Stefanie and Michelle. The newly renovated fitness center is a refreshing change from the basement level and has been bringing me to the Y more often.
Instructors are very good.
Love the Pilates and menopause class. Would like to see more Pilates and yoga classes. Love the 1/2 to 45 minute strength classes too. Maybe a heated vinyasa class would be nice. Also would love an infrared sauna too
I like the aquatics program. It has great instructors and the participants really enjoy the class.
The pool is my only activity at the Y. My grandson loves the swim lessons!
It is a nice environment to exercise in plus there is a variety of different machines to use in the pool it’s nice too
Water exercise is great. All the kids programs are great! Alex is wonderful and Roubins runs fabulous swim classes for kids.
Ashley is a fabulous instructor- she teaches both my kids. They're in different age groups and she tailors her classes to make them fun and engaging for both ages. My 3.5 year old loves making "silly bubbles" and is so proud of the skills he's learning. My 1.5 year old loves singing songs, splashing, and jumping in the pool.
I like the instructors, the exercises, the facilities and the friends I've made. I look forward to attending the various classes knowing as well as having fun that I'm helping my body stay fit.
My doctor said (on my last visit) "Whatever you're doing, keep doing it." That's a good enough recommendation for me to keep going to the 'Y'.

Parents should be able to stay on the pool benches and watch their children swim
Great staff and leadership!
Clean environment
Well organized, friendly instructors
I enjoy using weight machines 1st thing in morning
Variety
The space is great and the staff are too! I've enjoyed personal training sessions, weight training on my own, TRX, and Yoga classes. Thanks!
great people working there!
Good instructors
Class variety. Lots of training. Friendly staff
I would highly recommend Fitness for Menopause with Nicole. She is a very experienced physical trainer as well as nutritionist. Her workouts are intense and hit every muscle group. I am always sore but it’s a good sore. She sends amazing emails discussing nutrition and proper training for women in menopause (or through it). I will probably retake this.
Friendly instructor that finally has my child excited to learn to swim.
Beneficial physically and socially!
I as an 80 year appreciate the lap swimming available in the noon, afternoon periods. All of my swims have been at the Melrose Y.
Have used Melrose and Saugus for stationary bike exercise and have found ample bikes and space for my exercise reading time.
Prefer Saugus for the bike because of the parking and amount of space and available equipment or that there are fewer users: ggod for me not your ideal.
Both have been clean and staffs esp. Saugus very welcoming. Have had to mention lack of soap in the showers back in Dec. and January. After 6+ weeks vacation all good in March.
Easy! Great instructors. I like the program lengthand the class length
I like the aquatics classes, namely aqua stretch class on Tuesdays & Thursdays from 1-2 p.m.
I am older with arthritis & these pool classes are perfect, plus the men & women are all very nice/fun older adults. It is a community actually.
