Member Testimonials
Just came in to check logistics of me joining re what workouts I wanted, my schedule, my needs. Met with 100 percent star response from every staff member to give me all the info I needed plus more to help me decide if Melrose YMCA the right place.
I like the two instructors that lead the classes I attend! I wish there was someone to clean the machines if the person using the machine did not do it after they used it! Workers are all very nice! Thank you!
Michelle does a wonderful job in her yoga and TRX classes.
I like that there is a schedule and I know and can prepared for the time I chose. It’s organized and user friendly
The private swim lessons have been extremely helpful and enjoyable for my son. Thank you for this option! His instructor has such a fun and positive attitude and that helps a whole lot.
As a long time Y member (20+ years) - I can't express my love for the Y enough. The people who work there are simply the best. The instructors (Bernadette, Stefanie and Courtney are my long time favorites) have so much passion for the work they do - and are incredibly encouraging. The people who work at the front desk greet you with such enthusiasm - even at 6AM. I love that the Y is more than just a fitness center - it's truly a staple in our community. This was incredibly apparent during Covid when the Y creatively found ways to continue to engage people of all ages - including the most vulnerable (our senior citizens). I've met some of my closest friends through the Y. I'm grateful that we have such a wonderful place in the center of our community.
I like the friendly nature of the employees. Everyone I have encountered has been extremely kind and always smiling.
This is my daughter’s second year doing swim at the Melrose YMCA. The teachers there are all great and I’m excited to see all that she has learned from her classes. The only thing I wish they could improve is the parent situation. If parents are not allowed to watch it should be from start to finish. I was told no parents but then when I came back in there were a lot of parents there. I think it’s confusing. Plus some parents are very nervous around water so leaving you kid alone at a pool can be a little scary but there are plenty of lifeguards and classes are small enough in size to help reduce that concern.
good facilities, helpful staff, welcoming atmosphere.
I think Kay's class has been most helpful for me as I get older. I like the music and her way of handling all phases of the class would be beneficial to anyone.

I only use the fitness center, but I appreciate the kindness of the employees and staff. I also appreciate the lounge areas that I tend to bring my children to when we need a little snack after soccer!

The staff and the members at the Melrose YMCA are some of the nicest people I've ever met in my life. The camaraderie of the entire Team is heartwarming and is a tribute to a well-run organization.
I like the Y because there are a variety of classes offered each day, and because I have the option to attend other facilities.
Also, I am able to gear my activities to my fitness level. I don’t feel pressure to keep up with others.
