Great classes especially the instructors, like Michele H !
I like everything, the staff is always kind and attentive. The gym and restrooms are always clean and I love all the class selections you've added over the last year!
Senior Water Exercise on Tuesday and Thursday from 1pm to 2pm is my only activity at the Y AND I love it!
Exercise that I would have a problem with on floor is very doable in the pool.
Friendly, knowledgeable staff. State-of-the-art equipment. Clean, well-maintained building. Convenient location. Great value for the cost of membership. Dedication to the community.
The programs fit my needs. The variety available is very good and I find the instructors are well qualified and friendly.
Some of the women I have met in my classes have become good friends and they have nudged me into other programs.
The Y has provided me with great ways to get into shape and expand my social network.
Lift Heavy program is awesome. Kyle is great.
Programs and activities are available for a wide rsnge of ages—from toddlers to seniors. They provide needed services to the community.
The variety is endless.
Great!
They are basically most of the programs I had at the Y in NJ 4 years ago. Since I just joined I don’t have much to say, but my daughter has a family plan at Melrose Y and she recommended it.
Group fitness with veronica, Stephanie, and Courtney. Theyre all excellent! The second floor equipment is also great along with the sauna.
Calvin is a great swim instructor for our toddler!
Most of the instructors and members are incredibly nice
The buoys that divide the lane are really big and hard plastic maybe when you have to get new ones they could be smaller in size and less hard plastic. Tough to hit when sharing lanes . Water fitness with Rubin is excellent for all us old ladies with his personality and music it is a joy to come to class . The lifeguards do a great job at keeping everyone safe.
Lots of variety
I admire the people who help (staff) as well as the ones who go to the Y and use the classes, weights etc. very grateful for Max, Lindsay, Teresa. All whom have helped me. Bernadette showed me that there is compassion for all that are a part of this association. Thank you First name removed.
My instructor (Kyle) is a perfect blend of kind gentleman and taskmaster. He will laugh at your joke then tell you that you have five more to go.
I also like to socialize while I exercise. I also enjoy supporting the people in my class. Their motivation inspires me to do more.
I like the group classes .
they are all run profesionally
Good price, good location, kid seems to like it!
Open to all - regardless of age, ability, skill level etc. good community
Great instructors.
The Aqua Stretch class is fantastic, it is my favorite class to date. I have recommended it to many others, as well.
Nicole who runs Fitness after Menopause is awesome. She has the wonderful ability to engage a group ( post menopausal women, no less ..and keep them focused on their fitness goals. She is able to individualize the participants exercise programs ..so that you get all the positives of group participation while working on own unique program. I'm feeling stronger.
Friendly staff and wide range of exercise equipment.
The classes are great! Would love to see more
Fabulous choice of classes, plenty of them and superior instructors and staff.
A few things: 1. why does the soap have to smell so bad in the bathrooms? At least the women's. It's truly terrible smelling. 2. can you please get a cold plunge. Otherwise, I'm happy with the gym, great equipment, good personal training options and good kid's programming.
As a member for more than 20 years I have always been impressed by the quality, quantity and convenience of the programs offered for the entire community. The staff is excellent and the management listens to their staff and to the community about their needs. I am so grateful the YMCA celebrates and protects diversity and inclusion and always strives to meet the needs of everyone in our community.
