The classes and instructors are great!
The LiveStrong program is wonderful, & gives hope for people to continue to stay healthy! The swimming pool is also a good way to stay fit without straining achy joints & muscles.
I have only been to one session for the quick start , but Devaney was extremely kind and patient and gave good guidance. I am recovering from knee surgery so it will be a while until I can take advantage of the classes and the rest of the facility, but I plan to do.
Great classes at convenient times! Great 🌈
I like that I am able to use the Y programs on my crazy schedule. Utilize the 2 weeks at a time because of winter spent in Fl and summer in ME so here in between and on holiday visits.
I still work fulltime so I need to go to the early am classes to get a workout, truthfully at 67 I am too tired at end of day to work out. I enjoy all the group exercise classes. I absolutely LOVE Lauren Graves class at 6am on Thursdays.... just getting over a knee injury, she takes the time to make modifications, watches everyone to make sure we are all doing it correctly and also explains in full what we are doing and NOT to be doing. The Y also has a great workout room with bikes, treadmills, weights etc. A pool if swimming is your thing and a nice sauna right by the pool to loosen up and if just getting out of pool to warm up. The bathrooms/showers and changing rooms are very clean as well. And for the price per month its a win win!!!!
Love Michelle’s yoga classes and TRX class
I like the classes.
Nicole, Bernie and Veronica.
The progressive challenges by fantastic trainers. The people attending classes is also part of the really great experience.
Awesome place
I like the way the employees are always available to help the members with the excercise machines, and the front desk staff are always pleasant.
Nice clean facility with lots of options for workouts, exercise.
Th classes
Love the instructors. The new space is well planned. Pilates reformer and Zumba classes are great.
There is something for everyone and everyone feels accepted. I wish you had more lap swim times available though. it gets rather crowded in the morning!
I love my TRX and yoga classes with Michelle!
I just started the Lift Heavy Get Lean class. Kyle is very knowledgeable and motivating. I look forward to every class.
The new spaces are really great. The teachers and staff are excellent.
I was thinking earlier today that it would be a big improvement to have better free weight racks in the third floor space. The Y in Peabody has really nice free weight racks
I like that you offer physical activities and enrichment activities. I also appreciate that you offer, for example, different sports activities for younger children and at the same time yoga and dance classes that are less fast paced but also still fun. In addition to the more physical activities the enrichment classes are a great addition. I hope for the summer there is more offered on weekends for kids who look for more physical activities and enrichment classes in morning and mid-morning.
Also, I very much appreciate morning and mid-morning classes for young children since this is their best time of day.
Thanks to everyone for all your hard work and time and planning....you have brought a community together

Fitness center and the pool
I like the variety of classes offered. Some fill up quickly which can be hard though I appreciate the 24 hour limit to sign up
It would be great if the Melrose YMCA had:
- 7am-8am Classes
- Monday & Friday Child Watch
- Papertowels in the bathroom
I enjoy the group exercises. I like zumba.
the available classes and activities cover a good range of physical ability levels, and are offered at times that fit lots of different schedules.
