Gym situation in Stamford is terrible if you’re not looking for a crowd.

If you’re a novice and not looking to invest too much in a gym I’d recommend Planet Fitness. Just go, keep your head down, and get to work.

And LA Fitness in Stamford is AWFUL. Dirty, crowded, and very poor gym etiquette.

Source: Just joined LA from Chelsea Piers. Worst mistake ever. If you can afford it, Chelsea Piers is worth the money.

This is going to sound weird but depending on what you're looking for check out Beta Climbing gym. They have a pretty solid setup for a non regular gym....full racks, benches, bars, and and cardio machines but no weight machines. As everyone is there to climb, it's pretty under used. Google has some photos so you can check it out.

Stamford or Darien YMCA or the JCC are good options too

There's an Anytime Fitness on High Ridge that I haven't pulled the trigger on going to, but it's a small franchise that from reviews seems to be well run and quiet. It's 24 hours.

Underground Fitness is big but not as big as LAF or The Edge. Still gets crowded like commercial gyms do at peak times though.

There’s a Crunch Fitness near the Costco in Norwalk that may be more your vibe (and mine, honestly) but i95 traffic makes it miserable to get there after work, so I don’t go there.

There’s a bunch of small class-oriented gyms like Carozza Fitness and F45.

Depends what you're looking for... one of the downsides is that it's very cliquey. OP, feel free to DM me for more info.

Underground is perfect! If you don’t like a crowd just go early!

Are you interested in working with a trainer 1:1? I know someone great who is flexible with location in Harbor Point but has lots of clients he travels for. He also offers online coaching to help hold you accountable. Let me know!
