I don't know of any articles. Some things to pay attention to: large staff turnover or eliminating coaches during the season and not replacing them; gym cancelling competitions and not crediting your account for the competition fees (it amazes me how often this happens- it is theft); equipment being worn out and not being replaced; building maintenance - are there roof leaks not being repaired, etc; gym owner asking for donations for basic business supplies, etc.
No one thing is a sure sign that a gym is in financial trouble, but if a combination of these things are happening, it may be time to look elsewhere.

why are they so unhappy but why they have not been asked to leave if they so openly share their misery?
So, parents who talk in the parents room about something they don't like about the gym should be asked to leave??
@CLynn I understand. There are two types of complaining in a gym, issue related and Suzie related. If it is issue related, take heed and listen. If it is Suzie ranting and gossip, a good or thriving gym would generally close practice or remove those parents from the parent room, whereas a struggling gym wouldn't risk losing any customer.So, parents who talk in the parents room about something they don't like about the gym should be asked to leave??
I didn't take it as that. Our gym has a policy about gossiping, I think it's three strikes and you're not allowed in the viewing area. There's a difference between bringing up concerns and gossiping, and there's also a time and place for concerns which generally isn't the parent room.So, parents who talk in the parents room about something they don't like about the gym should be asked to leave??
Well if the beatings didn't work, what other recourse does a gym have?So, parents who talk in the parents room about something they don't like about the gym should be asked to leave??
Exactly. There are times when a successful gym WILL cut their losses.If it is Suzie ranting and gossip, a good or thriving gym would generally close practice or remove those parents from the parent room, whereas a struggling gym wouldn't risk losing any customer.

Thank you @catlady and @FloridaFlya, you've both captured what I meant to say more effectively than I apparently did.
