The instructors and the other peopld
Initially what brought me to the Melrose Y was the variety of classes I could take as an older adult. Classes and instructors are very inclusive and I love the variety. It's very rare to find a class offering every day at other fitness facilities and the Y has multiple of these classes on a daily basis. I'm very excited about the opening of the new gym and studio on the second floor - it's such a beautiful new space and again, there's something for all fitness levels. Oh and I can't leave out the most important part - the instructors and staff are the best! Thank you to all.
Rubens the best
I love it
Coach Alec is amazing. He is very dedicated to teaching and guiding kids through any sport he is coaching.
The community feel
The instructors are also nice!
We use the kid watch on Saturdays and it’s wonderful, the caregivers are so sweet and kind. I just wish kid watch was available Sundays
Rubin is wonderful with my son!
Stephanie is great! She makes the 6 am class! Her boundless energy and her ability to make everyone feel welcome are her superpowers! And her workouts are just right, all the time. She’s a keeper!
Great energy! Great staff
I enjoy the free weights, swimming, sauna and the staff is super friendly. Not to mention the Melrose YMCA is always very clean, which makes it very comfortable in the locker rooms.
The programs are run by a great staff.
I wish there were a few more Yoga classes available after 5 for those of us that have to work during the day.
I have been attending the aerobics class for many years an our Instructor Kay makes it work with music and friendly companionship for every one in the group.
I like going between the Saugus Y and the Melrose Y
I'm new to the Y so I just do the fit classes so far , and have tried Zumba Gold. which is fun but rather challenging for me at 67. I have had a tour of the equipment and doubt that i will be using it. I prefer going to a class with a group. Also tried the Yoga once, was ok. One thing I wish could be improved is too many people in some classes. it makes it hard for me to see the instructor. Which for you is a good thing
Group classes
Reasonable cost and friendly
Staff
they are very inclusive
I enjoy the classes. Wish they would have more after 6pm. I work full time. Go to some classes in Saugus which is further for me, but have times I can make.
The staff is excellent and friendly. Facilities are first class. Equipment is maintained.
I only went once to the gym and once to water excercise. Both had very helpful, supportive staff. the front desk people are all great. Very informative.
The senior class fits into my life. The right times, days and the instructor, Kay, is wonderful. The work out is perfect
It keeps me from being a couch potato.
