I only use the gym. It has a lot of equipment, which is all clean and usually in working order. Not crowded.
I like the option of being able to sign up for classes in the other metro north branches. My kids enjoy the swim lessons in melrose and open gym to play basketball during raining days.
The Y is a great community resource. I like seeing friends and neighbors there. I would like to see the spin bikes replaced/updated. I would like to see a barre/tone class on the schedule.
The community of the Y and all the staff, instructors and members are great, taking a class is like meeting up with a long time friend. The yoga classes in particular are great and Michelle G is the best!
I also love how the Y supports our local community, thank you!
