Weston Family YMCA In Westport, CT

Our Commerical Electrical team completed a project with Campus Improvements and a New Gymnasium. We listen to our members,” said Pat Riemersma, CEO of the Westport Weston Family YMCA, adding that after three years since the original build-out they have learned where to best expand going forward. “How can we better serve our members,” Riemersma said. As part of the process, the leadership asked the question of what the old downtown YMCA had that the new location does not. The absence of gymnastics at the new facility was a resounding answer to that question. When the YMCA moved to Mahackeno from downtown, the organization did not build a gymnastics center to replace the one downtown and has instead rented a space in Norwalk to house the YMCA’s Showtime Exhibition gymnastics team.

“We’re bringing gymnastics back home,” Riemersma said, adding the new gymnastics facility will be built alongside the current building. The 22,000 square foot addition will have two floors, both 11,000 square feet, with the gymnastics center on the upper floor, Riemersma said, noting the gymnastics space won’t hold competitions and will instead be used solely for practice.

The bottom floor of the new building will have dance and spinning studios and a workout “zone” for CrossFit-type equipment, Riemersma said, adding the YMCA’s current spin studio has 24 bikes and the new studio will have 34 bikes to accommodate the frequent waitlist for spin classes. The new group exercise studios will allow for more exercise classes in the post-work hours as well, Riemersma said.
