I use the pool, and the Y has really stepped it up as far as upkeep of the lockers, showers and pool itself go. Things are being kept neater and cleaner, and there is some new equipment in place. There's a pretty good variety of classes offered daily. Staff at the reception desk and on the pool deck have been friendly and supportive.
My only request continues to be evening aqua classes-at least once a week. It was being looked into, but nothing came of it.
I like the classes
It's a friendly place, has great instructors and the classes meet my needs. It was also very easy to get the assistance I needed to get started with the fitness machines.
Clean, polite empliyees
Easy to walk to the YMCA.
Instructors are great and produce wonderful classes.
Great gym with workout machines, and great classes too.
And… great staff too!
The Y offers amazing classes with positive and motivating instructors. But it’s also a critical gathering place that fosters a wonderful sense of community.
Exercise classes in Melrose are great, especially with Mia.. Some early morning classes would be appreciated…7:30am instead of 8:30am to fit in before work day.
I am thoroughly enjoying the aquatic strengthening with Bea Mills.
I can see the improvement since beginning in October. Highly recommend.
The staff is terrific. The pool is exceptional.
This was the right choice for me.
The positive and supportive attitudes of the instructors in my classes allows me to stretch my limits.
The health and fitness center is great!
Everything
The people giving the classes are friendly and knowledgeable. The location is well maintained and convenient.
I take classes with both Kay and Mia. They are excellent teachers, very knowledgeable and kind.
I have used your facility the last two years for recovery from two consecutive knee replacements. I have found the staff friendly and helpful. The other members are considerate. The facility is well maintained and clean.
8:00 am Friday Cardiac rehab maintenance program.
Your staff is Friendly and helpful and go the extra mile to be sure you get what you need. very clean and well organized facility. A pleasure to visit.
I very much like your group fitness classes at both the Melrose and Saugus YMCA. You have exceptional instructors, especially Veronica as she is the best. I always feel that I get so much out of her Saturday 8:30 AM class. I only wish that the great classes during the week , notably the 6:30 PM classes, were alittle earlier as I do not like getting home at 7:45 - 8 to eat as that is kind of late for me! Other than that, I am very happy I joined the Y last Soring when my gym closed and I do highly recommend to all my friends.
Everyone is very welcoming and helpful at the Melrose YMCA.
I find the senior aerobics class very helpful and fun to be at, and I am getting what I need to keep myself moving and staying . healthy with the help of the instructor Kay.
Too early to tell
a good mix of group classes and opportunities for individual exploration and development,
Always trying to improve and expand options
Great and friendly staff and instructors!!!
Gym, diverse program, accessible, all levels, availability
Friendly instructors that know how to engage with and teach kids. Various days/times to choose from for classes. I also like the shorter time commitment of classes about 7 eeeks, so that if we are going to be away, we can skip that block (for example we tried our son to soccer in the fall and took the season off from swimming until winter).
The teachers are very patient with my kids and work with them to have a fun experience
I'm a senior and enjoy the exercise program twice a week. I feel it's not too much but enough to keep my joints moving. No pressure and many friendships.
I’ve only participated in parent/child swim, but I like the times that it is offered
They are varied, fun and healthy. Thank you.
