All-Star Being Scared Of Being A "gym Hopper"

[schpo]

In my mind this is easy. You're moving to a new city, so you're moving to a new gym. End of story.

If you leave at the end of the season you're not a gym hopper.

If you leave at the end of every season, you may be a gym hopper

In any case, you're moving, it's totally understandable. Oftentimes the animosity comes if you're going to a gym your old gym would consider a rival. But you need to do what's best for yourself. And moving and ending up with a 2 hour commute means you need to find a new gym. I wouldn't worry about it, especially because you're not doing it in the middle of the season.

Was this at TNT Explosion? If so, what team?! We might have cheered together!!

It was actually for a rec team called rebels extreme but i knew tons of people that cheered there!

I know someone who transferred COLLEGES at the end of every semester for two years. Like...what.

I would definitely try out. You are not a gym hopper! You switched gyms for a good reason.

Life circumstances change! there are greater things in this world than cheer (hard to believe right ) but moving is one of them! You have to do whats best for you. Driving 2 hours isnt always feasible. If you think its something you could consistently do and wouldnt conflict with working/school/whatever you're doing and could remain committed to your practices, then by all means stay! But 2 hours is a far way, NO ONE could blame you for moving gyms because of your new location.
