Very friendly staff and swimming facilities are great
Melrose YMCA is a great community of staff and members which has a positive environment.
I rejoined the Melrose YMCA this year after stopping my membership a few years ago. The Y has made some great improvements to their gym space and the entire building is so much CLEANER than it has ever been before. The cleanliness really makes a difference.
Everything. Variety of class choices.
I like the variety of the classes, the location of the downtown, the dedication of the instructors,
Freidly Clean and upto date
Some of the different exercise programs
Easy to register for, well-run, not too crowded.
I am a swimmer and like the availability of times throughout each day for adult lap swim. Also, the quality of the water is always clean, which is reassuring.
Friendly lifeguards and the ease of access to the pool area from the men's locker room is a definite plus.
However, one missing and very important item in the locker room is a bathing suit extractor. I have mentioned it over the past years and was told that extractors are on the plan for installation.
If you have ever used a bathing suit extractor as a swimmer you would appreciate their value especially in keeping bathing suits placed in lockers from dripping all over the locker floor (no matter how hard you squeeze dry the suit after showering).
Hope this suggestion will be discussed with the decision makers and that we swimmers may hope to see in the year 2026 a bating suit extractor in each Mens and Women's locker room. Would be greatly appreciated.

The Melrose Y is a great resource. It’s clean, the programs and classes are fun and the instructors are personable and very knowledgeable. Everyone I meet at the Y is friendly and it’s a great community.
