Great array of classes.
I take classes with 3 diff instructors and they are all great
After working out at a few Y's, I am very pleased with the set-up at the Melrose Y, as well as
the cleanliness of the Y. The staff is first class, very helpful and always friendly and happy to help.

I have found programs that benefit me and fit my schedule.
Absolutely great facility and team of supportive trainers and staff!
I love the group classes. There is a variety of classes from yoga to spin that fit my workouts needs. The teachers are excellent in their teaching and are always professional.
Currently, I am in a session with Nicole for women in menopause. She’s awesome and I can’t wait to learn more from her.
I love how easy it is to sign up for group fitness classes and try something new! I have fallen in love with kickboxing and Tabata 45. It's a really welcoming environment at the Y, with people of all ages and backgrounds working out together :)
I love the group fitness classes. I would love a Barre class in the middle of the day rather than 5 pm, but most classes I like are well timed for me.
The facilities are good and the people are great.
Good variety, reasonably priced
Many different programs to choose from.
Something fir all ages.
Excellent facility - good equipment, clean, kept up to date
The staff is very professional and well trained. it's a really valuable community resource.
I love the exercise classes you offer!
I feel like the events are really high quality! I love the community board. The pool is great. All facilities are clean and well kept. I like the monthly prizes and little member gifts that pop up every once in a while. The teachers are super energetic and kind and the group classes are a great, fun workout for all levels!
I am overall very happy with my membership at the Y. I mostly take classes and appreciate all the instructors. It is clear that they take the time to prepare for the classes and they care about the fitness and health of the members. The fact that the classes fill up the minute they open for registration is a testimony of how good and popular they are. It is always a bummer when one does not get into a class, but it is understandable that space is limited.
One minor suggestion, the floors should be cleaned more often. With so many people in and out for different classes, dirt, hair, dust, salt, etc. accumulates quickly. Thank you.

I love the YMCA and the classes and programs it offers. I am lucky that I am able to walk there from my house. I feel bad the parking situation is so bad. I know some people turn around and go home when the parking is really bad.
We love the YMCA. I use the sauna a lot and would recommend implementing a regular and thorough cleaning schedules of the sauna. There is a lot of debris that collects in the cracks of the benches and the wood will last longer if it is cleaned oiled occasionally.
I really enjoy your classes when I can get into them and when I can find parking. Sometimes that is a detriment. I find the quality of the instructor is great. The gym is clean. People are friendly and professional.
I sometimes find the website a little hard to navigate, but when I call in person, people are always very accommodating.
