Member Testimonials
Nicole Wade is great!
I love the Y - the staff is great - the facility is wonderful. One thing I think needs to be addressed - I think the cost of some of the classes or programs is too high
the cost for an 8 week class 2 x a week is much too high - it needs to be lowered for members of the Y - It is overpriced at least $100 a session maybe even more. As a member I feel that I should only be paying $80 - $100 for an 8 week session
Yoga and TRX with Michelle
The best part of the Melrose Y is the instructors and the variety of classes.
Very comfortable and good class offered. Some classes are difficult to get into, perhaps they should be moved to a larger room for more participants.
I joined the Y to use the pool, bikes and treadmill, but have changed to primarily taking classes. I like the variety of classes and programs the Y has to offer. Classes are offered throughout the day, so I am usually able to find a class that works with my schedule.
Lots of program choices for when i have the time to join classes. Most important for me today is machines. Because the gym has only one circuit, machines are in constant use.
Please manage the ppl who sign up for classes and then drop them 2 hours before. It’s not fair to the ppl who would have gone if they had got in.
The Sunday am classes are the worse for this
Oh and tell ppl to stop using chalk in the weight room
Thank you we love the Y

I love the Melrose Y. I have taken Mimi Izzo's yoga in Saugus - it's amazing and I am a HUGE fan of ALL of the greatness that is Nicole Wade. I LOVE to lift weights thanks to ALL of her great teaching and encouragement.

The great instructors that you have they really encourage us to be better with balance and strength
Range of programs and activities. Excellent staff.
love the range of times available for working out and group classes. Veronica and Steph and Courtney are wonderful! Sauna is great. Could use paper towel dispensers in the bathrooms on the floor with all the machines. also the TP dispensers are too low, hard to reach underneath and the doors slam shut so loud

I like the exercise classes especially Lauren's on thursday 6am, she really takes the time and focuses on teaching you the right way to help prevent injury and always gives you modifications if needed. She is so nice and personable too boot!!!
