Just like it
Variety of activities available with excellent instructors.
I only use the gym which is very well equipped. More importantly, the staff are absolutely first rate!!!
I like the facility and Taylor is a great personal trainer
Michelle is a really great instructor, I hope you do everything possible to keep her on staff.
One slightly negative comment - the class scheduling in the 3rd floor during the renovations is annoying. Each of the classes are about an hour in length. There needs to be 15 minutes in between class end and start time.
Theoretically there is 15 minutes between the end of cycle and beginning of 9AM yoga. But it takes those people awhile to actually get off the bikes and move them off the floor. And there is no time to mop up the floor .The cycle people probably feel pushed out too quickly when they want to cool down.
Yoga can start late and has to end early becuase of the class right after it, which means we are short-changed for a class that should be 60 minutes. The 10AM class people want to come in and set up so they get an on time start - they stand in the door and window staring and rush in while yoga is trying to clean up.
I understand it is temporary, but it was something that really should have been tought through when putting together the schedule.
Love the gym and equipment and friendly staff
I have recommended so many people to the Melrose Y and they all love it just like me. I need to stop recommending as classes are getting harder and harder to get in!!
Immediate interest is winter pickleball at Melrose and partner facilities. My wife and I will also be looking into establishing training programs. So far I have been impressed with the courteous and helpful nature of the staff. The Melrose facility may be a bit dated, but very happy with the cleanliness and the current state of maintenance.
I like all the classes that you offer.
They have a big variety of different programs for all ages
