An astute reader wrote me to find out whether or not the YMCA was a good choice for a gym. The truth is, I have no idea...but maybe you do. The website features badly composed pictures of cute kids swimming and smiling, which is fine and good, but not technically helpful.
There is also a Facebook page with recent photos of a renovation, but not a lot of details. The FB discussion page has questions, but no answers. It seems to me that someone must know something - if it's you...speak up! Don't make me have to do actual work.

WASTING OTHER PEOPLES' MONEY

Ha ha ha. It is true that the Y has not been very forthcoming with their information! Originally the word was that their new lobby would open in January and they would open membership at that time- but renovation just begun last week with a ready time sometime in March. So I have to assume that memberships will now be open in March or April of this year.
I'm hoping it will turn out to be a good place, because now that NYSC at Landmark Square has closed down it is the only downtown gym option.
I just got a note that the Y is now open for membership!
" The Stamford Family YMCA is open for business even during our renovations although Mid March is our target date for "re-opening". Many people have inquired about when they can join and the answer is NOW! Please e-mail Tim@stamfordymca.org for membership information. Thanks as always for your continued support."
Thanks Silli for posting this update! Are you a member? Do you like it there?

Oh, man! the YMCA is not actually open for membership yet, despite their note to the contrary. We have to wait another month at least.
On a related note, tenants at Landmark Square now have the option of working out the old NYSC, now run by building management. You have to be an employee of a Landmark Square tenant to join, the pool is closed, and for now, there are no classes, but at $30/month it's a pretty good deal.
That's a bummer about the old NYSC at Landmark. I was hoping 24 Hour fitness would open their first Connecticut location there!
Thanks for adding such useful info, everybody!
