All I do is use some of the machines. They usually work well. Sometimes when it’s crowded, you get a lot of people. Who sit on the machine for five minutes reading their phone between reps. I really wish that the staff would pay more attention to keeping that from happening.
I think the teachers are good, the hours are good and I can walk there. I wish there was a Yoga or Pilates class on Wednesday night.
I like the weight room and exercise machines. The renovation is excellent. However, I don't like that young people often sit on the machines and scroll on their phones, and the staff doesn't do anything about it. They're often on their phones, also.

I love the water aerobics
Lots of new gym equipment and great hours. This is a great location for teens to stay active and healthy.
My son just started swim lessons at the Y this past Sunday. The instructor was great and the pool facility was clean and well kempt. My only complaint is that there was no signage on the wall for the parent/child meeting spot so it was hard to know where to go our first time. The other groups all had signs on the wall in the pool area.

I love, love the ballroom line dancing class in Melrose, and I love the variety of zumba classes available.
I love my fitness class with Lisa Villiott and Courtney Vernadakis!
I'm loving Nicole Wade's Menopause Fitness and the varied Pilates offerings at the Y. I'm also working with Lauren Sanford as a trainer on Thursday mornings, and she's been a dream to work with. She's incredibly supportive, tailors the movement in our sessions to my goals, and she keeps everything in good form, safe, and fun.
Knowledgeable instructors and convenience of time and location. Shower/locker rooms clean.

I love the swimming pool!
The weight rooms sometimes get too crowded, unfortunately. There could be a way to schedule certain age groups to certain days/time.
Group activities are great, it would be nice to have larger variety of instructors.
Some machines are duplicates in the weight room and also they're not being used as much. Their floor space can be used for other, more popular machines.
Some machines are biomechanically not that great (in the sense that they don't fit human movements).
i don't participate in programs or activities.
Lots of class choices and excellent instructors.
