Since this gym and Indiana Elite are so close, are there any ship-jumpers, you think?

Probably.

Proud Speed alum. Based on what I've seen on social media, people are very excited to be part of the ICE family. I am excited to see where my friends, former teammates and the rest of the gym will go from here.

Happy for them, but I feel like in 20-30 yrs there will be 15-20 gyms in the US instead of thousands.

I agree. I'm not a fan of the franchise trend.

I'm OK with it, mostly because the staff typically remains the same. Which means what? A uni change?

Good point. There just won't be as much brand diversity in the years to come.

My biggest problem is that slowly the name means less and less. I hear it now with some other gyms. "You're from XYZ? Which one". Names one other than main. "Oh"
Plus as you expand its very difficult to keep the culture of the parent company intact.

I think depending on the situation the coaches stay the same. Sometimes you have new owners that come in with their own coaching staff. Out with the old, in with the new. I'm not going to lie, I hate seeing gyms close or change names. Like I'm still sad Orlando Allstars, Premier TN, and Maryland Marlins are done. And those are just a few of the top of my head.

Don't forget AZ Power.

Ugh why did you have to remind me?!?!? RIP!

I will always give them the credit for lace. That was their thing.
