Water exercise seniors!
Great times on the weekend to swim.
There are programs for young to older no matter what shape you are in. Also for heart health and cancer survivors. Great place to be.
I have taken one yet but I like all the classes that are offered. The Treadmills are nice and hope to body building soon.
Great scheduling times that work with my schedule
The Melrose Y is a welcoming community who have amazing programs and instructors.

Jude and the ChildWatch team are incredible. They’re the reason I can stay sane, work out, and get some grad school work done on the days we don’t have daycare for my toddler. I am so grateful for this service!
There are many programs to choose from and instructors are knowledgeable and excellent
Work out gym. Nice and open and lots of options for cardio machines
Classes are free with membership. I like the teacher
The personal trainer takes the time to understand your goals and/ or issues and then assists you in trying to obtain them. The trainer also researches specific issue to address a specific issue.

I am relatively new to the Melrose YMCA, having joined in June 2025. However since joining, I enjoy Chair Yoga, Stay Fit Aerobics, Aqua Stretch and Chair Pilates. There are so many activity choices at all times of the day & week. I enjoy all of the instructors. They are all pleasant and wonderful resources. I have already recommended the Melrose YMCA to several friends!
