Great instructors!
Variety and times
Been going to Saugus Y for years, love all the instructors and people ther. I live all the updates and improvements too.
Everybody is really nice and there’s a lot of programs for all ages and the gym is pretty good
I joined because of pickleball. I took lessons first in the fall of 2022 and met some great people. I decided it would be worth it to join. That was back in January of 2023. I have extolled the wisdom of joining to many local players in my town!
This year, 7 friends from our pickleball group in Winthrop are now members! @Metro North. The majority play in Saugus! We are a group that is friendly, welcoming, talented enough but most of all, want to have fun! That is not true elsewhere. Some pickleball players feel that the @Y" is their private club. If they do not want to play with you, because of gender, athletic ability or their perception of superiority, they become quite rude! Not in Saugus. Everyone encourages new players!
Pickleball program and staff are great
Would like more class offerings such as Tai Chi for balance
High quality programs & facilities, accessible fee structure, good variety of activities
I like the variety of classes. My one complaint is I do not see staff cleaning machines. There are no clean or dirty signs for the machines. Members are also not cleaning machines. If you put the signs back it may prompt members to clean after they are done. I see staff in Melrose cleaning machines.
I like your Zumba and Barre classes
Great classes & instructors!
Teens love everything
There are a variety of classes and programs for adults and children. The staff is very welcoming.
I love the TRX, yoga and the new equipment. This YMCA is always clean and the employees are friendly and always helpful
The staff are very friendly & helpful in the office & front desk. I just wish Saugus had an indoor pool for year round aquatic activites/class/programs I prefer to participate in. I am a senior citizen & luckily because Saugus is part of Metro North YMCAs. I can use 3-4 other locations with indoor pools. I live here, but go twice weekly to Melrose YMCA Aqua Stretch classes that meets my needs with osteoarthriris, etc. I have been going for 3+ years now & the class & instructor are both great!
Staff are always so friendly.
There is a wide variety of programs and activities run by helpful people at a choice of times.

I love how much confidence my child has now when doing cartwheels and other stunts. She’s thrilled to be advancing to the next class.
I’m absolutely in love with this class
They’re wonderful!
Chair Yoga instructor and Stay Fit instructors are fabulous!
I’ve only attended pickleball open play and the league, which I have recommended to others as well!
Very helpful for my daughter. Helps her build her strength , confidence and also helps communicate with her pears . The instructors there are so nice . One of the many things I like is there is always so many activities going on throughout the month !
Both of my kids are in gymnastics classes at the Y and love them. The parent-and-me toddler class is a lot of fun and is so great in helping kids learn to follow directions, wait turns, etc., as well as building balance and other great skills. The bigger kids classes have done a great job of growing with my older son - watching him progress in skills along with the classes has been so much fun. He still loves his gymnastics classes just as much as he did when he was in the toddler group!
