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!
They r geared to assist in all kid's activities as well as the adults.
I love how much my daughter loves going to gymnastics. There is never a class that she wants to miss. I love how they have built her confidence and comfort her when she get overwhelmed. She has made so much progress since she started last summer. My sons have taken other YMCA classes and all the instructor are so much fun. I really don’t have anything bad to say.
Group exercise classes are great...the instructors are really good. Wish there are more group classes on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in addition to zumba class
Daughter says that the instructors are nice and very helpful, the equipment is clean and the floor is not slippery.
The variety of opportunities and the variety of times in which they can be taken
We love the instructor at the beginner Saturday class for older kids!
My daughter is obsessed with her time at the saugus Y gymnastics. She's only 5 but insists on practicing everyday at home. She goes every Thursday, did the MLK day camp and is begging to go for February vacation and summer vacation. Audrey has been such an amazing role model for her. I can't imagine taking her anywhere else.
Great help from the staff, community members being helpful on Sunday morning at open gym!

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.
