I'm happy with the aquatics program! The pool is well-maintained and the locker rooms are clean. The classes are fun, and there is a good variety.
Cardio Rehab group is my reason. Instructors are great. I will be expanding. My Jumpstart with Dev was great!

Great variety of classes, and very professional and caring trainers
Reasonable prices, good selection of classes, decent selection of equipment in the fitness center, and Lauren is an awesome trainer!
I don’t use the programs but my wife does use the yoga classes. I use the fitness center and it is greatly improved since it was moved to the second floor.
The variety
There is a wide variety of programs and activities for all ages and abilities.
I adore the Melrose Y! The welcoming staff and gifted trainers make the Y the exceptional place that is.
I want to give a shout out to Nicole Wade for shining a spotlight on a historically underserved part of the population, menopausal women, and giving us hope, energy, and agency with her training and information sharing. Her communication is clear, her recommendations are backed by science, and I see teammates achieving things they never thought they could at each class training session. Nicole has been a change agent at the Melrose Y, and I'd love to see her role grow there over time.
Lauren Sanford is my heart and my guiding light as a personal trainer at the Y. Her training is the perfect blend of creativity and precision, and her sense of humor makes the work of lifting light and playful. I am frequently shocked by how quickly I blow through my own milestone goals using progressive overload, and Lauren's confidence in my abilities gives me the permission to try seemingly impossible things. Thanks to Lauren, I'm always surprising myself in the best possible way.
Great coaching!
I like training with Cecily, she is excellent and I feel better already.
