Member Testimonials
I like that there’s a variety to choose from such as menopause fitness, swimming, Zumba, etc. and I like that the staff is friendly, knowledgeable and supportive.
Appreciate the range of classes and strength of instructors.
Enjoy the bright airy facility.
Would love more yoga options as those classes full up very quickly and the smaller room cannot accommodate as many participants,
Good selection of fitness classes with great instructors! Love the renovated fitness center too! So many great Y memories through the years: my kids attended the Melrose Y daycare, learned to swim at the Melrose Y, attended Camp Melstone for years we were members at the Saugus Y pool.
The range of activities available to older members.
Great instructors. Great work-outs. Modern facilities and equipment. Caring staff. Making new friends.

Aqua aerobics for seniors is one of the reasons I joined
Knowledgeable and courteous instructor. My recommendation is to have no more then 2 students per session so the new swimmer will learn faster
I've been doing the reformer with various instructors and the Lift Heavy Look Lean program with Kyle. All are excellent! Excellent, serious training and lots of camaraderie. And the facilities are so well kept. Appreciate the programming for kids too. My son is having a great time at Camp Melstone.
No matter what I am participating in at the Y…group ex classes weight lifting for menopause or in the fitness center there is always a sense of community. It always feels like home.

I just recently joined the Melrose YMCA after trying out a Tai chi class there with a day pass. I was impressed by the facilities - plenty of workout machines, super clean, and plenty of programming. Every staff member has also been super friendly!

I really enjoy Line Dancing, Chair Yoga and Chair Pilate. I wish the yoga class was on the third floor because it fills up fast.
