Pickleball and Pilates classes. My husband likes the pool and sauna too. Adult workout rooms are great. Only complaint is not enough room to put a mat down and stretch, and the Monday and Friday CC Pickleball times are underutilized. Should open them up to Casual Friendly players or maybe one for beginners. No one has showed up for a couple week as now. Thank you!
I love the Melrose YMCA. I have become a fan of lifting weights thanks to the AMAZING Nicole Wade. The community at the Y is very welcoming and supportive.
I love the variety of the classes the YMCA offers. I take Strength , Yoga, Pilates and TRX classes and enjoy them all. I also went through the LiveStrong program for cancer survivors and liked it so much I am now a mentor. Courtney and Jeff have a great program that offers strength, cardio, stretching and balance to help cancer survivors improve their health and also support their overall mental health.
I have only used the bike and haven’t used your other facilities yet. It is difficult for me to get transportation, so I have’s been there very much.

I only use the fitness center but with the move to the second floor and the new equipment it is so much better than being in the basement. I am there at 5AM and appreciate it when it is raining or cold that we are allowed in the doorway until opening. In the past this was not allowed.
I think the Melrose Y is great. I take classes there and think the teachers are great.
I wish there were a few more options at night for Yoga or Pilates. Like on Wednesday or Friday
We have enjoyed the yoga/dance class with Ms. Diane very much. It's an excellent class. She is lovely by the way. This class showed us the need at the YMCA Melrose for more yoga classes and stretching and calming classes for all ages -youth, teens, adults, & elderly. It's necessary and beneficial to start young and to teach youth and teens in the community how to breathe properly and center oneself and be calm and stretch the body.
For adults and the elderly what a support it would be to have these types of yoga classes and light stretching available so close to home.
I would love to be able to keep my child in these types of classes all year long for herself and myself, especially as she grows as to make it part of her routine and lifestyle.
Jad has been with my son for two sessions now and he is fantastic. My son has sensory and transitional issues and he has worked with him weekly to build his trust and help him improve his swimming. I cannot thank Jad more for Going above and beyond to work with my son.
