no your not the only one lol...i think thats a little bit crazy. because if you commit to a team, you should stay on that team atleast untill the season is over....i think the only way i'd ever quit or swich gyms if i was having problems w/ coaches or owners!

Sounds ridiculous to me. I would have to travel all around our whole state and even then, I would struggle to find 9 gyms!

I have met a kid who has driven three hours for a gym then went to another one after one month and he has been to almost every gym locally. its insane.

That is A LOT of gyms. 4 in one season?! You always have those people that switch gyms... the grass is always greener on the other side. And no matter what gym they are at they aren't happy and they keep switching gyms. You would think that at some point they would realize that the problem is actually THEM not the gyms.

Up until two weeks ago he lived in New Jersey(5 minutes away from me) and he drove all the way to Maryland twisters, just to be on reign for a couple months.

i knew of a girl in my area who was at two different gyms in the same season

I've thought of switching gyms but that's only because I was on International Open 5 and it was let go because of lack of interest. But I'm just gonna wait until next season instead of starting somewhere in November.

That seems like a lot of unnecessary work. Was there ever a time when one gym went to one competition and the other gym went to another? What would she do?

We don't see a ton of gym hopping because there are not a lot of gyms near us. Which is great in that way but bad in others.

Ive only switched teams like once and thats because I had a full on a level 4 team...
