I am relatively new to the Melrose YMCA, having joined in June 2025. However since joining, I enjoy Chair Yoga, Stay Fit Aerobics, Aqua Stretch and Chair Pilates. There are so many activity choices at all times of the day & week. I enjoy all of the instructors. They are all pleasant and wonderful resources. I have already recommended the Melrose YMCA to several friends!
