Member Testimonials
YMCA is clean, staff is friendly. Great pickleball program.
Miss Kylee is awesome with the kids and is very professional. She's doing a great job.
My daughter is in the gymnastics program. I love the educational structure- each week they build on skills and we have seen consistent progression. The varied equipment helps her learn certain skills and build strength, working up to be able to do them independently. And she loves going there! She is happy and motivated and works hard because she enjoys it so much!
It's got everything your gymnastics kid needs all close to home!
The gym is well kept, the classes are fun and led by enthusiastic instructors who keep you motivated!
The gym is very clean and parking is accommodating.
However the weekend hours our very discouraging.Saturday and Sunday should stay open until 6 to accommodate members.
Nice staff. Ample parking spaces.
i been a member for over 25 years
many changes, but I love the Y.
Gymnastics summer program is for my kids. I like the fitness center, lots of weight lifting machines.
Variety of classes to take that accommodate very schedule.
there's a pretty good variety of programs to choose from, for both my daughters and myself. I like the convenience of both the Melrose and Saugus YMCA as well. The staff is friendly and super knowledgeable they greet you coming in and they say goodbye when you're on your way out. Also seems like they know all the members names, which is comforting.
THe best place for family
Great gymnastics camp for kids! Very nice staff
Fantastic Family Feel at Saugus!
...from the warm reception to the Friendliest members to the attentive instructors and weight room staff, and a very accessible, caring director.
Added bonus: Saugus also has incredible natural light and windows for adding peace and calm to your mind while working out.
The Saugus Y is great. Both the members and employees are super friendly. The only thing that would improve my rating to a 10 is that the basketball court is not always available (like on Saturday mornings due to Pickleball). Other than that, the Saugus Y is awesome. I have been a member here for many years, and I look forward to continue coming to the Y!
I live the mat Pilates , Yoga and TRX classes
Do not use programs or activities.
Zumba
Need to offer more Barre classes -one class a week isn’t enough to really benefit from it ..
They're easy enough for the young kids to get involved.
Zumba and barre are fun. I do ;however, think you should stop the “sign in scheduling” for group activities. I’ve been a member for years in the past and we never ran out of space. Maybe the only one to schedule is TRX for obviously equipment reasons. This scheduling actually causes stress to me and others my age.
I enjoy playing pickleball
Love the zumba and stay fit classes. Staff very helpful and kind, especially Francine.
I have been looking for a nice gym w/ easy access. My daughter and son both take swimming lessons and my daughter takes gymnastics. The Metro North co-gyms makes this very easy for us, and easy for me to exercise while they are taking lessons.
Great classes and facilities!
The Saugus Y is very welcoming, well staffed and clean as a whistle. It is a pleasure to come to. I tell people about your Y all the time.
The Y has such a large range of programs it’s possible for all ages to enjoy. It’s a great social environment. It makes it possible for everyone to stay healthy and fit. Most of all it’s a lot of fun.
The water zumba class, in Peabody with Jen, was fun. 👍🏻
they are all excellent
We love the structure and support of the instructors. The equipment and atmosphere is also a huge bonus.
