Member Testimonials
Jessica was an amazing instructor for the LGI recertification. The facility was clean and the lifeguard was attentive. What more could I ask for?
Great variety of programming. Classes are so popular that it is often very difficult to get into them so hopefully more classes will be added when construction is complete.
Seems to be well organized, well run, and my daughter loves her swim instructor.
Staff is very good. Owen is awesome with my kids and I think if a child feels comfortable with the instructor, they will be more comfortable in the water.
Friendly, objective feedback
I really love the water exercise, you feel so good when you finish.
The classes I take are fun and I enjoy the camerateriety . It makes it fun and you feel connected.
We have had a great experience with our instructor.
Staff is friendly and accommodating. All my kids love their swim lessons.

Friendly. The pool and locker rooms are very clean.
I really enjoy my membership!
Bea is awesome! She keeps us moving in a fun and safe way. There are many days that I feel like skipping a work out but the thought of Bea's class gets me going and in my swimsuit. She explains all of the exercises and why we are doing them and how we should do them as to protect our joints. Her classes are for the young and the young at heart . All of us love her and the Y wouldn't be the same without her! And she always puts a smile on our faces!
My son takes the mini all stars class and coach Alex is great with him and all the participants! He is patient and encouraging.
variety of classes that are free for members. Summer camps for kids
I attended the LiveStrong classes & found them to be most helpful & encouraging. Every single trainer was so caring & helpful. I can do the cardio machines & know how to do the weights, join classes, & strengthen my bone density in the swimming pool.
I really like and appreciate the variety and frequency of classes, and how inclusive they are. Love the app and the ability to register ahead of time. And I especially like having a few Virtual classes to choose from. We have a home in NH and I am able to take a class here and there when we are out of town.
Clean and well maintained.
I love the array of programs at the Melrose Y
everyone is so helpful
Group classes
I like the fun of being part of a goofy group. It’s been a little harder lately, due to construction and COLD.
pool and swim class
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!

I like the community atmosphere. The locker room situation needs significant improvement as it’s extremely stressful before/after class with everyone going through the narrow family locker room and no available changing space for a cold and wet toddler.
