Ditto - Sure there are always exceptions, but I have never been to a gym where that was the norm.

Rich that was priceless!! You are totally right, minus the computer generated monotone voice, that conversation is very realistic. I loved when she explained why she doesn't boulder at Chelsea. She stole my line!!!! That was the funniest thing I have seen online in a long time.

like the "fixed gear" and "top roping" part - so true! Just saw your blog, that must be the root of all the BKB top roping gangs on the classic lines in the Gunks! j/k

What info to you have about Stamford.
I can't imagine anyone would invest the capital in this economy to get a gym going again in Stamford with two good gyms just 15 minutes away in Valhalla and New Rochelle.
If it was the same ownership then I can't imaginee anyone going back as Go Vertical went downhill in a hurry once it was just Sid in charge.


Its in the Stamford Paper, so its not a secret anymore-Chelsea Piers is building a Sportsplex on the old Clairol factory site in Stamford. If we assume that they duplicate their NYC site-there is your Stamford gym! In addition, there is one in Fairfield CT now as well.
