good facilities, helpful staff, welcoming atmosphere.
I think Kay's class has been most helpful for me as I get older. I like the music and her way of handling all phases of the class would be beneficial to anyone.

Variety, experienced instructors and trainers, cost.
I only use the fitness center, but I appreciate the kindness of the employees and staff. I also appreciate the lounge areas that I tend to bring my children to when we need a little snack after soccer!
I like the swim exercise class on Tue and Thursdays. The workout is good for my body.
Water aerobics
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

This is my daughter’s second year doing swim at the Melrose YMCA. The teachers there are all great and I’m excited to see all that she has learned from her classes. The only thing I wish they could improve is the parent situation. If parents are not allowed to watch it should be from start to finish. I was told no parents but then when I came back in there were a lot of parents there. I think it’s confusing. Plus some parents are very nervous around water so leaving you kid alone at a pool can be a little scary but there are plenty of lifeguards and classes are small enough in size to help reduce that concern.
