Hey there, I recently moved to Stamford and am looking for a gym with a good pickup basketball culture. Ideally an after work crowd. Thanks!

My boyfriend plays frequently at LA Fitness
There’s also a bunch of adult leagues throughout the year

For your after work needs, the LA fitness is good for those hours. My schedule usually works out for morning runs, and it's pretty dead at those times. For the few times I've been able to make it in the evening, there's been great runs.

How are the morning runs there? Age wise and skill level as you've asked? Does the JCC require membership? I've been looking for something a bit more active in the morning hours for basketball.

They're a lot of fun. Most guys just looking to run and sweat. Average age is probably earlier 40s. No one is dunking on you and everyone can move the basketball.

Yeah that's just like what I'm looking for. Sounds like good cardio and minimum injuries lol. Anything specific needed for the JCC or to participate in these runs?

You need a JCC membership. I’d look on the website for more detail.

Stamford JCC has morning runs Wed-Fri at 6 AM.
Age? Skill level?
