Member Testimonials
Reasonable prices, good selection of classes, decent selection of equipment in the fitness center, and Lauren is an awesome trainer!
I don’t use the programs but my wife does use the yoga classes. I use the fitness center and it is greatly improved since it was moved to the second floor.
The variety
There is a wide variety of programs and activities for all ages and abilities.
I adore the Melrose Y! The welcoming staff and gifted trainers make the Y the exceptional place that is.
I want to give a shout out to Nicole Wade for shining a spotlight on a historically underserved part of the population, menopausal women, and giving us hope, energy, and agency with her training and information sharing. Her communication is clear, her recommendations are backed by science, and I see teammates achieving things they never thought they could at each class training session. Nicole has been a change agent at the Melrose Y, and I'd love to see her role grow there over time.
Lauren Sanford is my heart and my guiding light as a personal trainer at the Y. Her training is the perfect blend of creativity and precision, and her sense of humor makes the work of lifting light and playful. I am frequently shocked by how quickly I blow through my own milestone goals using progressive overload, and Lauren's confidence in my abilities gives me the permission to try seemingly impossible things. Thanks to Lauren, I'm always surprising myself in the best possible way.
Great coaching!
I like training with Cecily, she is excellent and I feel better already.

I love the variety of classes and programs available. For me personally, Nicole Wade has had a transformative impact on my life. I now go to the Y more than I ever have. She is an amazing instructor who is dedicated to the members who take her classes.
The Pickleball instructors are great!
They are convenient and ALL the staff are friendly & they're thier to help out when you need them.
Variety of times and types of classes, and excellent instructors.
Good for senior citizens.
Tanner is just awesome. My daughter really looks forward to swim class each week with him! He is engaging and excited to teach the class.
The equipment is great. I only use the fitness center.
LIKE THE QUANTITY OF EXERCISE EQUIPMENT, SWIMMING POOL AND FREE ACTIVITIES!
The gym, yoga, Pilates, Trx. Women’s only weight area would be huge.
Could women only hours a few times a week in the gym be arranged?
Amazing programs! I enjoy going to the classes so much.
Good facilities, well maintained and easy to access.
The Livestrong program is wonderful & very well organized. The people running it are truly amazing, funny & sympathetic when appropriate. They keep everyone in a positive frame of mind.
The pool is very good, but no children should not be allowed in the adult locker rooms/showers. Too many adults ignore the age restriction, sometimes, for example, leaving diapers in the shower.
Pilates teachers are great!
I would like to say that Veronica is amazing instructor. She loves what she does and that translates to her classes. She has an amazing energy!
everything.
Also, please refile the soap dispenser in the men's locker. Three weeks empty is a long time.
Otherwise keep doing what you've been doing all these years.
I'm a longtime member.
