Relocated Golden Corridor Family YMCA set to open in Schaumburg June 1
The Golden Corridor Family YMCA in Schaumburg, which closed in autumn 2024, will reopen Monday, June 1, at a new location.
Preparations have been ongoing since December to use the former Signature Fitness Club at 141 Barrington Road. Last week, renovations started on the former At Home store at 101 Barrington Road. This space will become a dedicated sports complex for the Y, although an opening date is not yet set.
Together, the two sites cover 131,654 square feet and will employ eight full-time and 40 part-time staff.
The new sports complex will feature multipurpose courts, an indoor turf soccer field, batting cages, pitching tunnels along with golf simulators and training areas. It will also have a walking and jogging track, a fitness center with modern strength and cardio equipment, group exercise classes and an aquatics center for swim lessons and water fitness.
On-site, there will be first-aid stations and space for chiropractic and orthopedic services.
Regular hours will be 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday; 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday; and 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday. The sports complex could stay open until 11 p.m. for tournaments and leagues, while the fitness center may open as early as 5 a.m.
The previous Campanelli YMCA, which was 56 years old, closed at 300 W. Wise Road to allow Pulte Homes to build 68 townhouses. Golden Corridor Family YMCA President and CEO Doug Britt made finding a new location a top priority.
“We appreciate everyone’s enthusiasm and support as the project continues moving forward,” he said of this month’s milestones.
With the village’s support, the nonprofit has requested a Cook County Class 7B tax incentive to help fund a $1 million upgrade. This incentive lowers the property assessment from the usual 25% to 10% for 10 years, rising to 15% in the 11th year and 20% in the 12th.
Schaumburg officials agreed with a consultant's study that found the vacant space needed improvements for the YMCA's needs.
Over the incentive's duration, the YMCA is expected to pay about $4.5 million in property taxes and save more than $5.5 million based on the 2024 tax rate, according to the village.
The Golden Corridor Family YMCA also operates the Taylor YMCA in Elgin.
