VEronica's fitness classes - professional, inspiring, hard core!!
The instructor I have had for the last 3 sessions is so amazing. We love her
Ruebens is the best! He's so patient with the children and has a great sense of humour when interacting with them. He also recognizes when a child might be scared to go into the water and works at their pace. He's awesome!
I have enjoyed the Pickleball instruction with Jeff.He is a great teacher.I come to Kay's class frequently-very easy to exercise.I just started a new class-Golden Zumba.All the programs have been great!Thank you
Great instructor
Loving the pool!
Have been a member of the 'Y' for over 12 years and I think it has been a life-saver in more ways than one. Apart from the excellent programs and instructors, I have enjoyed the comraderie of fellow members as well as keeping my body limber and my mind alert, It is my 'Happy place' and I hope to be a member for many years to come.

I really like the aqua stretch class at the Melrose YMCA at 1:00 p.m. onTuesdays & Thursdays. A great instructor, Bea Mills until very recently taught this class on Mondays, Tuesdays & Thursdays. She loved the water & we had a great class. A lot of us are seniors & these classes keep us moving despite arthritis & other health issues. I am have bad arthritis & the water keeps me mobile; I can do things in the water that I could never do on land!
I don't know what I'd do without this class! It is a great group of people & both current & new members join us at any time. It is a nice community of people for many of us seniors & others.

My 3.5 year old has been part of the toddler swim lessons over the past 3 weeks. I've been very impressed with the class ratio (2:1/3:1). The instructor is very sweet (miss Emma) and splits her time evenly between all of the children. My son loves this program and we will continue signing him up for future sessions.
The programs are convenient and accessible.
Good equipment and a good variety of it, and a good selection of activities and classes.
Coach Alex is amazing with the kids and gives them opportunity to be introduced to sports at each kids own pace.
very good trainer
Great group exercise classes and caring fun instructors and whole staff of YMCA very ftiendly
Great variety of classes, terrific instructors. The renovations at the Melrose Y are terrific!
Great instructors. Challenging workouts. Variety of classes
Love water aerobics with scott
I like the community and Henry is a nice teacher, he is interested in introducing kids and adults to volleyball and we definitely see our son progressing. Thanks
My daughter does volleyball and enjoys it a lot .
I love having access to a pool in my neighborhood. Love the acquatics classes but wish we were able to have even more.
Friendly staff, warm environment . Positive and knowledgeable instructors.
Roubins is great, the classes are great, had a great swim party last year. Aquatics and Child Watch are the two high points of this Y
Lots of class choices and excellent instructors.
All I do is use some of the machines. They usually work well. Sometimes when it’s crowded, you get a lot of people. Who sit on the machine for five minutes reading their phone between reps. I really wish that the staff would pay more attention to keeping that from happening.
I think the teachers are good, the hours are good and I can walk there. I wish there was a Yoga or Pilates class on Wednesday night.
I like the weight room and exercise machines. The renovation is excellent. However, I don't like that young people often sit on the machines and scroll on their phones, and the staff doesn't do anything about it. They're often on their phones, also.
Great kids classes
Pickleball. Variety of group exercises. Instructors.

Nice pool, good equipment for strength training, Paul is very helpful as personal trainer.
