I like the facilities, and most importantly, the people.
Fun, educational swim lessons. My son loves Coach Ricky!
My son took his first swim lessons at the Y this winter, and I’ve been so impressed with the experience. He’s become much more confident in the water over just a few weeks. It’s remarkable to see all the skills he has now. He loves sharing what he learns each week with his younger brother too!
His instructor, Roubius, has been a great example. Roubius is always kind and calm, while still holding high expectations for the students. I appreciate the respectful environment he creates with an emphasis on safety. Thank you!
Friendly people and variety of equipment.
Consistency
Just use equipment but see a lot of people at various classes
I am in the cardiac rehab program and enjoy doing the workouts.
The instructor makes everyone very comfortable and having something in common with all the other participants in the program (BUM TICKERS) seems to
add to our comradery and friendships.
I look forward to doing my exercises with my friends.
Excellent staff and instructors— great community atmosphere
Kate was a fabulous instructor - so patient
Great instructors! My kids love going to swim class.
I like that the place is well maintained and the coach is experienced an competent.
The child care is great and allows me to participate in the workout classes. We also enjoy the swim lessons with our son. And all the fun community events
Teachers, variety
Great offerings and wonderful instructors
I love Nicole's Fitness after Menopause class. Nicole fosters a can-do supportive environment which keeps folks coming back!!
Programs well planned and instrutors are great
Group classes have been great for getting my kids more comfortable with water and basic skills. My 4-year-old also does private swim at the Y which we have loved and is more compatible with his needs and how he will best learn, so we feel lucky to have that option!
My son has made amazing progress this year in his class with Ashley. She follows a similar rhythm every class but still diversifies tasks to challenge each student appropriately. I am so grateful for her!
Easy to access, well-run

My grandson only takes the swim classes
He has been a member for 3 years
He enjoys his classes
I really like the Aqua Stretch classes taught by Roubins, the Aquatics director. I love the pool & it is great for seniors like myself with arthritis & other physical issues. The water is so forgiving, great to exercise in & Roubins makes it a fun class!
A good variety of classes. The equipment is in good shape and usually available. Staff is very friendly and helpful.
I like the connection with community and convenient location. The upgrades at the Melrose Y are great.
There are many class options to choose from and classes are offered pretty much all day 5 days a week and classes also available on the weekends. The instructors are great . I particularly enjoy Jeff Dodds chair yoga, Julia Pollards stay fit class and chair Pilates class along with Dev Bennett stay fit class. The space is clean and the reception staff are friendly and inviting . Yes I highly recommend the Y
I am very pleased with the Roubins, the instructor! He makes the classes fun and invigorating! I like the schedule of 1-2, T & Th, it fits into my scheduling routines perfectly. I have already recommended Aqua Stretch to many current members as well as friends that have yet to join Melrose YMCA.

I like the sense and feel of this particular Y for community & classes focused on women’s health like fitness for menopause. I like the idea of having mindfulness classes to be added.
