Member Testimonials
I think the studio on the second floor needs to be sound proofed because you can hear everything outside of the room
Classes for all ages and abilities - terrific atmosphere- feels great to be there - staff and members so friendly and helpful -
The vibe is all-inclusive. Members are respectful and considerate and all shapes, sizes and abilities are welcome. The facilities are almost always very well-maintained and locker rooms are clean. Some of the people staffing the matrix machine area are excellent and intervene when I need some help before I even have to ask.
Great variety of classes. Good instructors.
Everything. The instructors are fantastic and so is the variety of classes. Virtual classes are a bonus. So is the good sound system. Love the new gym with lots of light.

I love the YMCA!
- It would be awesome if there were workout classes in the 7am-8am timeframe!
- It would be awesome if there was childwatch on Monday & Friday!
Friendly staff and up-to-date facilities
Camp has been a great, welcoming space for our son this summer. First time going to camp, and he's been enjoying his days there. Especially grateful for the counselors and staff who have made sure to meet our son where he's at and including him at his own comfort level in daily activities.
Our daughter always has the best time at Camp Melstone and comes home excited to tell us about the day's activities - animal encounters, talent shows with friends, meeting police dogs, etc.
They are highly engaged and unique programing
I like the pickleball options (AL and CF) and the senior exercise class.

Outstanding instructors and pleasant environment.
Melrose YMCA has become a strong community in my life and I respect and thank so many people that are a part of it. It has grown and taught us so many things and My our children have also been a huge part of Melrose Y. We have only seen it grow and continue to get better and better. Thank you for being part of our lives.
Lots of activity for the kids very friendly 😀
The aquatic stretch classes are very useful and I am starting to see the results.
Also, there is always an excercise machine available. If I have a question in the excercise room; there is always someone to help.
Friendly staff , always a smile. Pool sauna and a gym. Win win. Most gyms do not have a pool and I love this feature. Thank you for an amazing place to workout shower swim and sauna is a big deal.
group exercise classes are great. That's mostly what I am using the Y for right now.
Good variety, supportive teachers
