Member Testimonials
I love the Pilates classes . The instructors are so nice and knowledgeable. The front desk people always welcome you with a smile. The programs that are available are great!
Just one thing:
Unfortunately we saw a creature (mouse) that went under the bench at my last class and that was disruptive. All 5 of us were concerned about the little monster.
I know it’s getting cold and they will try to get in.
If you can fix that problem everything else is going well.
Thank you.
Roubins is a great instructor at our parent-child classes. Appreciate how down to earth he is and good with the kids
Very professionally run
Roubins. Roubins, Robubins! He is a gem and all of us at the Melrose Y are lucky and thrilled to have him as our instructor and Aquatics director. He is highly competent, informative, compassionate, kind and super nice. He runs the Aquatics dept like a well oiled machine and his Aquatics class is just the best workout for those of us who are older or facing physical challenges. He encourages us to use proper body mechanics, but to always listen to our bodies. He always has a huge smile and his class is just plain fun! We get a great workout and an even better laugh. We always leave the class happy and feeling better than when we went in. And everyone leaving the class always has the same comment, "we are so lucky to have Roubins!" The staff at the Y is top notch from office staff to front desk to guards and housekeeping. We appreciate all you do to keep us healthy and safe!
The Lift Heavy, Look Lean class is great! Kyle is a great Coach and keeps the training dynamic and interesting.
The instructors are very professional and knowledgeable, they can improvise, adapt and overcome even with the lack of materials & equipment. Leadership needs to do the same on safety and scheduling. YMCA ADA is very lacking on accessibility for access to doorways and emergency exits.
Instructions are friendly and patient.
I am currently taking the Aquatic stretch class on Tuesday and Thursday. Rubin is great and I love his classes.
I am also joining the Chair Yoga at 10am on Wednesdays. Always a full class as the instructor Michelle H is awesome. She has a very pleasant voice and always happy and upbeat.
The instructors are kids friendly and kids enjoy the classes very much.

Excellent staff, selection of equipment and well maintained facility.
Wonderful teachers
Love the Stay Fit class. We have different instructors who focus on balance and mobility which certainly works.. Diitto also with the pool exercises. Reuben, who is our instructor is excellent. Since I've been in his class, my balance has improved a lot and I feel so energized doing the exercises. Reuben makes the class fun for us alll. I'm sure I speak for all when I say it is our 'Happy Place."

The water aerobics class is a wonderful way to exercise because of the enthusiasm of the instructor, the welcoming attitude of the other clients, and the music. It is a fun way to get exercise.
I have not been coming recently because I broke my wrist. When I am able, I would like to come back.
Nicole has a pleasant personality. Very knowledgeable and able to share and demonstrate the fine points of specific exercises with class. Was able to adapt exercises to individual needs
