Member Testimonials
I love the Y - the staff is great - the facility is wonderful. One thing I think needs to be addressed - I think the cost of some of the classes or programs is too high
the cost for an 8 week class 2 x a week is much too high - it needs to be lowered for members of the Y - It is overpriced at least $100 a session maybe even more. As a member I feel that I should only be paying $80 - $100 for an 8 week session
Yoga and TRX with Michelle
The best part of the Melrose Y is the instructors and the variety of classes.
Very comfortable and good class offered. Some classes are difficult to get into, perhaps they should be moved to a larger room for more participants.
I joined the Y to use the pool, bikes and treadmill, but have changed to primarily taking classes. I like the variety of classes and programs the Y has to offer. Classes are offered throughout the day, so I am usually able to find a class that works with my schedule.
Lots of program choices for when i have the time to join classes. Most important for me today is machines. Because the gym has only one circuit, machines are in constant use.
Please manage the ppl who sign up for classes and then drop them 2 hours before. It’s not fair to the ppl who would have gone if they had got in.
The Sunday am classes are the worse for this
Oh and tell ppl to stop using chalk in the weight room
Thank you we love the Y

I love the Melrose Y. I have taken Mimi Izzo's yoga in Saugus - it's amazing and I am a HUGE fan of ALL of the greatness that is Nicole Wade. I LOVE to lift weights thanks to ALL of her great teaching and encouragement.

The options! So many options, always love having options and flexibility for scheduling.
Great pool and sauna! Weight room and cardio is awesome, no issues getting on the machines. Friendly staff!

The great instructors that you have they really encourage us to be better with balance and strength
Range of programs and activities. Excellent staff.
love the range of times available for working out and group classes. Veronica and Steph and Courtney are wonderful! Sauna is great. Could use paper towel dispensers in the bathrooms on the floor with all the machines. also the TP dispensers are too low, hard to reach underneath and the doors slam shut so loud
I became a member in September to take the Lift & Protect Bone Density classes. Nicole and Dev are wonderful teachers. They have vast knowledge and communicate the exercises clearly and positively and how to do them to maximize the benefit to our goals. We students are at different levels and Nicole and Dev help each of us to achieve our goals. (I especially appreciate how patient Dev is with my poor memory and her efforts to help me.) They also send informative team emails between classes. The classes are challenging. The teachers and other students make them fun.
Nicole Wade is great!
