These Total Body Strength classes are the greatest! Perpetual waiting lists prove their popularity. I'm so eager to see the renovation of the Melrose Y completed. The plan represents a serious commitment by the Y and a great resource for Melrose long into the future.
Friendly and community based
I try to do yoga three times a week with Michelle. She is an excellent instructor. Her classes are never the same. I
They are consistent and holistic.
Your senior water stretching and aerobic classes are convenient, accessible and welcoming.
I love everything about the Y - especially the instructors who so clearly love what they do. Grateful to have such an amazing resource in our community.
Yoga Sculpt and Yoga Flow. Michelle is great!
Teachers and classes are great! Would love to have more TRX and barre classes offered. More 9/930 am classes would be great too! Thanks!!
I really love the yoga , Wieghts with Mike and tone and strength classes. The instructors have a great amount of positivity and diverse class instruction. I’m really enjoying all the classes I take..
I love the central location of the Melrose Y and the “vibe” that it’s really a place for families and the local community to go and pursue a lifestyle that is happy and healthy. Our kids have been going there since our eldest was in the Parent-Child Swim class at 9 months and we’ve been going ever since.
Thanks to your Pickleball programs I ended up joining the YMCA.
I just started Livestrong! It seems like a fabulous program!
Very clean and tidy
The fitness center is a friendly place with a good crowd from the teenagers on up to the senior citizens.
I love the gym and equipments therein.
I like the group classes...however if you don't get on the Y site right when the class is available to sign up, you don't get in! And I think alot of people do not show up and do not Unregister which is unfortunate for the ones that really want to take the class!
The pool and the triathlon club!
Low key atmosphere, good selection of activities
Love the classes, especially yoga and TRX with Michelle. Expanded pickleball hours - yay!!
Love Zumba with Ally so much. Also personal training with Stefanie is awesome. She is so motivating, kind, and funny.
The classes and the instructors
And the facility is immaculate.
I love the ease of use and the programming. I'd love it if you'd add some classes to the 7am hour! It seems like they are super early or at 8/9 which is too late when I have to get to work!
The program Director, Alex, does a wonderful
Job organizing.
The level of classes is incredible, and the price is unbeatable.
Friendly staff
Great programs for seniors
Jonah is the best swim instructor we have ever had. He really is amazing with the little kids and is so kind! Defiantly will recommend his class to other parents.
I never imagined I would be taking aquatics - but here I am! Despite myself, I actually look forward to my two classes. Our instructor is professional and energetic, and shares his good humor with all of us. Can’t wait for the renovation to finish - the Y deserves the best!
Love the smaller class size, the personalized attention our sons are getting, and the feedback cards on the preschool stage 1 skills achieved. The pool is chilly, as usual, but otherwise very happy!
My daughter loves the Healthy Kids Cooking class. She was always so excited to go and be hands on assisting with the food. Hoping the class comes back next session in the late afternoons.
