I have been playing around with the idea of switching gyms for a while now but have not been sure wether to do it or not. Hopefully you can help me! We have looked at and gone to an open gym at another gym recently and spoken with the head coach. Here are the pros and cons to both gyms
Current gym pros:
*Can train all the way to Level 10 - they have 1 level 10 girl
*Less expensive than other gyms!
*Will move girls up once they get the skill needed...does not wait til they have a certain AA score just to make the gym look more successful
*Very supportive parents and booster club..no mama drama that I can see
Cons:
* Lots of favoritism for certain gymmies
*Level 4 has 3 coaches and they train differently so daughter is always changing the way she is doing skills depending on who is coaching.
* Coaches and owner are unapproachable to the point that they avoid any contact with parents (except the favs)
New gym pros:
*One coach per event - so no confusion on how to do a skill
*Will also move girls up once they get the skill needed...does not wait til they have a certain AA score just to make the gym look more successful
*More approachable, the head coach was very open to answering questions, even stayed way late at open gym to talk to me.
* Smaller team so more individual attention
Cons:
* Can only train up to level 8 currently...but they are hoping to add more higher level coaches
* They moved into a new building and have a state of the art facility now that is amazing! Two floors and 3 underground tramps, 2 tumble traks, 5 sets of bars, and I forget how many beams.
* More expensive
Sorry this is so long just looking for advice!!
