Member Testimonials
My son feel safe and happy every day he comes from camp.
I have been going to Kay's aerobic class for many years and she seems to be getting stronger. The class is fun and a workout that I am able to handle for the hour I am with the other members of the class,.

I only use the gym. It has a lot of equipment, which is all clean and usually in working order. Not crowded.
I like the option of being able to sign up for classes in the other metro north branches. My kids enjoy the swim lessons in melrose and open gym to play basketball during raining days.
The Y is a great community resource. I like seeing friends and neighbors there. I would like to see the spin bikes replaced/updated. I would like to see a barre/tone class on the schedule.
The community of the Y and all the staff, instructors and members are great, taking a class is like meeting up with a long time friend. The yoga classes in particular are great and Michelle G is the best!
I also love how the Y supports our local community, thank you!
Water aerobics is fantastic and everyone is supportive and friendly. I enjoy attending the classes. Shout out to Scott’s classes, my personal favorite! Pat
I love my group fitness classes with Courtney Vernadakis and Lisa Viliott!
Helpful and friendly staff.
Good classes and equipment
I like how the YMCA is available for children and adults alike to spend their time. My 11 year old son loves to go there opposed to just roaming the streets and possibly getting into any trouble.
I like the available low income discount as I wouldn't be able to afford the membership. I enjoy the environment, the gym, the pool and so does he.
Thank you YMCA!
The lesson itself was great, we just had to withdraw my daughter because the lesson was too easy for her. I signed her up based on the class description.
Safe, affordable, effective and always on time.
My daughter loves the water acclimation with Ian S. He is a kindly and funny coach and makes my daughter confortable to improve in her swim.
