Member Testimonials
There are several high intensity workout classes to choose from and having different locations helps me fit them into my schedule. The instructors make all the difference in any workout and the YMCA have fantastic instructors!
The aquatic program is run very professionally. Each of the children's needs are met in both group and individual classes bases on their skills and comfort levels. Roubins is very responsive, accommodating, and professional. He is a great asset to the YMCA of melrose. He takes the time to say hello, make you feel welcome and makes the children feel safe and at ease.
I think the instructors doing the classes are excellent. I’ve used many facilities, including fit life Melrose and the club at Charles River Park and personal training through fitness together Melrose and the classes and instructors are comparable. The amount of classes offered with the membership are appreciated and there are many to choose from at various times which is better than most health club facilities! The best is the ability to use the sister YMCA’s for other class options
When I was a young boy I loved playing basketball ,
Swimming, canteen dance upstairs on the 3rd floor.
Then moved away and years later returned to the area and started swimming classes, pickle ball and having fun meeting people at the Melrose YMCA.
