Member Testimonials
The staff and the members at the Melrose YMCA are some of the nicest people I've ever met in my life. The camaraderie of the entire Team is heartwarming and is a tribute to a well-run organization.
I like the Y because there are a variety of classes offered each day, and because I have the option to attend other facilities.
Also, I am able to gear my activities to my fitness level. I don’t feel pressure to keep up with others.
Clean, well kept pools with plenty of open swim time.
Excellent class with knowledgable, motivating teachers.
I really love Courtney’s Tone and Sculpt class!
Variety of classes, use of multiple sites. On site swim lessons and child watch
Flexibility. Many options for the Metro North area and we are in close proximity of all of them. Friendly and accommodating staff.
The Spin classes are great and the instructors are very supportive and fun. Kudos to Lisa V, Lisa T W, Melinda and Stephanie.
group exercise classes, swim lessons for children
I love YMCA in Melrose however wishing that the top notch teachers would be teaching at the reasonable time (not at 6am) but any morning after 8:30am. We have Stephanie, Veronica, Suzie, Heather. All of them are the most talented teachers so why none of them have prime time schedule spots? Just a wish that I've heard from others as well.
Thank you,
Lilia

Our instructor Fay makes sure she knows each persons strengths and weaknesses and adjusts her routine to get the best from everyone. Her exercise class is effective, safe and fun.
Also, all the workers at the Y are wonderful and help this lady all the time.
Thank you for everything,

Great
Mike McDonough’s women and weighs classes are the best. I used to be intimidated to go to the weight room. Mike is a great teacher and very encouraging. I do enjoy spinning classes as well. I have however found inconsistencies in the teaching. Melinda is by far the best and I wish everyone could teach classes like her. If they did I would attend more spin classes.
There is something for everybody…all abilities and interests. The programs and activities are well run by experienced capable staff.
