Member Testimonials
love the classes -
Classes and instructors are great!
Convenient times
Many programs available
Good variety of activities offered.
My son really enjoyed the variety of activities, including swimming and walks to and games at playground. Christian (Kristian) was an amazing counselor for the Lions, super engaged and friendly with the kids.
My kids have been coming to the Melrose Y / child watch since my almost 6yo was just 6 weeks old so I thought they would be bored at Camp Melstone - I was totally wrong! My 6yo and 4yo had an absolute blast and couldn’t wait to go back each day!
My daughter absolutely loves Camp Melstone!
Everything they do.

Good selection of classes, variety of locations, and the new Melrose gym is amazing!
The new gym is great!
Just some simple questions/feedback!
Would it be possible to have some gym classes in the 7am-8am timeframe! I need to get to work for 9 so the 8am classes are too late!
Any possibility for M/F child watch?
Instruction , space is bright, thank you.
We love the gym facilities, pool, the staff, kids programs, continual improvements, daycare, the cost, all of it. It’s a great place for kids to mingle with familiar faces as they learn and grow.

I love the Y!
The staff are phenomenal - so happy and upbeat. The classes are excellent workouts.
New fitness center
Kay’s classes and Pickleball classes
I mostly attend scheduled group classes, and the instructors are motivating, knowledgeable, and supportive. Moreover, I appreciate that the Y is a community-based organization that is inter-generational and supports the broader Melrose community.
