The classes and instructors are great
I love the variety of classes. And the teachers are all fabulous. They are very adept in their ability to teach to every level of fitness without missing a beat.
It very good.
I am very impressed with the offerings of the fitness program and the professionalism of the fitness staff. The booking application is very useful and easy to navigate. The front counter staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The facility is well maintained and is always being updated and improved. It is a beautiful old building! A great value proposition and more importantly the feeling of being a part of a community is the Melrose Y.
The people are knowledgeable and friendly, and the equipment is well maintained.
I am 75. I just use the fitness center, rowing machines and shower facilities. I don’t use the Y for programs or activities. My daughter and grandkids do and they live with me. We have a family membership. My wife and I have been members for decades. They seem to like the options available to them. Open time on the basketball court is a plus for my grandson. The Y is clearly a valued resource for the community. The staff are always very helpful and make all feel very welcomed. The staff are a major plus. Overall the Y is great. Keep up the programs and activities.
My only suggestion is to try and pay more attention to facility maintenance. A major task for sure but issues often persist for weeks. The boy’s locker room next to the men’s locker room has been in serious disrepair for a very long time. A serious water leak from ceiling plumbing near the exit door to the rear stairway has been dripping into trash containers for weeks and often overflow on the floor from lack of attention. Recently there has been activity in that area but progress is slow. Also there is a faulty shower water valve in the adjacent men’s locker room does not fully close which drips and wastes water. This has been dripping for weeks. Little problems like this just seem to go unnoticed. Maintenance in a large multi use facility like the Y is difficult for sure but maintenance seems to lack sufficient dedicated staff and adequate budget to retain contractors when needed. That is my only suggestion for more attention. Thanks for all the Y does for the community. Keep it up.
