Developers want to close the world’s ever YMCA (and a favorite of gay community) to turn it into yet another hotel
Back at the beginning of January when the QG website was ‘behavin badly!!!’ we lent our support to the SAVE YMCA CAMPAIGN (for the London Gym NOT the tacky song!).
London’s YMCA Club is the WORLD’S FIRST YMCA, and central London’s largest gym, health and wellbeing centre, and a vital resource for thousands of members and users across diverse communities. On 2nd December 2024, the Central YMCA announced that it had sold its Great Russell Street site and plans to close the Central YMCA Club on 7th February 2025. A group of members immediately came together to save the club. Their campaign has attracted exceptionally strong support. In less than two weeks, more than 5,300 people have signed a petition to save the club, and over 250 people have joined their campaign groups.
Most gay men in London (of a certain age) have such fond memories of the place as before the explosion of gyms opening THIS was the one place we could go to chill, exercise and congregate safely
Queerguru talked with one of the main organizers Josh Von Uexkull to about the fight to Save The YMCA
