Member Testimonials
I love my fitness class with Lisa Villiott and Courtney Vernadakis!
I'm loving Nicole Wade's Menopause Fitness and the varied Pilates offerings at the Y. I'm also working with Lauren Sanford as a trainer on Thursday mornings, and she's been a dream to work with. She's incredibly supportive, tailors the movement in our sessions to my goals, and she keeps everything in good form, safe, and fun.
Knowledgeable instructors and convenience of time and location. Shower/locker rooms clean.
The instructors.
Zumba and yoga
Personal Training and a great variety of classes.
Great new equipment and very knowledgeable and friendly staff.
Very responsive, lots of variety
Great personilized attention from swimming lessons instructor
Not so much particular programs but community friendliness. Family friendly atmosphere seems strong.
Very good fitness center.
I love the swimming pool!
The weight rooms sometimes get too crowded, unfortunately. There could be a way to schedule certain age groups to certain days/time.
Group activities are great, it would be nice to have larger variety of instructors.
Some machines are duplicates in the weight room and also they're not being used as much. Their floor space can be used for other, more popular machines.
Some machines are biomechanically not that great (in the sense that they don't fit human movements).
i don't participate in programs or activities.
In the past I did the water excercise classes. the teacher was excellent. I now mainly use the gym for the treadmill and bikes.
I am loving all the classes I take with Veronica! She is amazing. I've always loved group exercise programs and she is top tier. Her taste in music is an added bonus!
I love Melrose Y, But, having to remember to register for class becomes another chore.
