Amazing value:quality ratio! The front desk staff, the instructors are so great! Melrose facilities are newly renovated and pleasure to use. The group classes variety is perfect! Thank you!
I like my group workout with the amazing Veronica! That's the only reason why I have my membership and go to that location
I love the clean, new facilities and equipment in the fitness center, your group exercise instructors are top notch, and my personal trainer, Lauren Sanford, is a national treasure. The community that the YMCA has built up is vibrant and growing, and I'm proud to be a member of it!
I enjoy the group exercise programs, go to early am ones, I like getting it done first thing.
I also enjoy the sauna on off days but getting irritated last few tuesdays its not on and I do not have time to wait the 15 min for it to get to 194 degrees...other than that all good
Love the Aquatics Stretch and Water Exercise .
Flexibility of programs, new equipment,
I am involved in 2 water aerobics/ stretching
Classes. They fit my schedule and the teachers are terrific.
Lots of different programs to suit everyone's taste. Good, competent staff. Gives opportunities to people who want to meet others with the same interests. Have made many good friends through these programs.
something for everyone
The Livestrong program is wonderful. The pool & chair yoga are also very helpful, & easy on the joints.
Love water aerobics and the fitness center is terrific. Really applaud the recent upgrades to the facilities.
I joined the Y this spring, and I love it! The group classes are fantastic (have been attending Mondays and Fridays at 6AM with Stephanie, and Tuesdays at (now) 6:30 with Veronica). I've also experimented with the Matrix machines, which are also great. The second-floor refresh is really lovely. I've taken yoga a few times, which is also good, but I work full-time and have to draw the line somewhere!
In general the vibe is welcoming, and the classes are motivating, challenging, and fun. Thanks so much for all you do!!

Convenient times for group exercise’s
It includes sport activities and kids learn how to become independent.
I love the variety of workout classes! I can get a great full body workout each day with the class options.
The staff are amazing from the front desk to the exercise areas.
One issue that I encountered was a member playing music from their cell phone without headphones which became distracting for many members using the weight area. Especially for the members who like to listen to the overhead music already playing.
Another issue is the dropping of weights after a member completes a workout. With the new weights and cables machines I feel that it’s important to keep these weights and equipment working properly and not have them become damaged do to lack of respect for the equipment.
Clean and modern facilities, friendly staff, great options for group classes.
Convenience
Option to take classes online (classes are often full)
Sauna is perfect. Overall renovation is great.
Professional and fun staff who have made exercise fun! (I can’t believe I’ve said that). Thanks, all
There are many options and times.
