Well, I don't own a gym! If I did, I'd be saving huge amounts of $ each year.
I understand both sides of the argument. Two seasons ago, we were part of an organization that did not have it's own facility and stopped providing tumbling classes mid season due to poor attendance. Cp started attending tumbling classes at another nearby gym and we ended up joining there after our season ended. So it was lucky for us that the gym allowed non-team members to take their classes, and they gained a new athlete because we did like it there (we were leaving our organization regardless but that's another thread).
But the other side of the argument stemmed from the thread itself about gyms banning athletes, and if gyms allowed athletes to continue working with specific coaches once the athletes left their program for another one. Why should a gym wish to continue training an athlete and advancing their skills that only benefits the new program and no longer theirs?
