Well all I can say is the last 3 posta, Dunno, NGL, & pro yoy all BOGGLE my mind. You must have not read my entire posts on the subject with the responses given.. Maybe it it a education thing. I have a Masters in Business so maybe my points are going over peoples heads..
I know gym owners very well also. I never said the team money carries a gym. IT IS A STEADY INCOME to help pay the bills. I responded to another post about teams & rec classes. The point was obviousley over your head
I said i am not the only one who feels this way in my posts, if you read them. My wife came accross this post (she is a member) so I chimmed in.. I am not walking around bad mouthing, spewing hate or being a gluten for punishment so Dunno my points have gone over your head also (maybe due to you being a gym owner???)
Ec is the only one that understood my valid argument.
NGL
There is no gym that is open & operating that IS NOT making a profit be it small or large. That is basic business 101. If you are trying to demonstate that holding a meet with parents volunteering & donating items is the only way a gym makes money or GETS money for things in the gym is just plain erroneous. What ever your gym is TELLING you about how they use the profits is great.
In house meets are 95% for the gym to get its name out there. You all said it one way or another "hold a good meet & people will want to come back"! People comming back means MORE MONEY FOR THE GYM, (especially when they are not paying anything for the meet) I can't say how big your gym is but mine is big with lots of people. We just stated holding meets. Prior to holding meets they were doing just fine. Our equipment is used plenty over the years & they are not buying equipment every time you turn around & the equipment is all good. maybe your gym is feels it necessary to purchase equipment every chance they get. I can't speak for them.
Again if you read my posts you SHOULD have acquired where I am coming from!!!! & DUNNO my daughter is not looking to "GYM HOP" at this stage in her career. As a parent I listen to my children rather then always tell them what they are going to due. SHe has a say in the matter. & god bless her because she feels the same way as I do. She gets it!!!
You know I have studied the behaviour of people in societies & it was very interesting to find that we as people (the majority not all, it was a universal study) are similar to cattle. If you can get one cow to move all the others will follow without due regard. I was amazed at the simple analogy because it was so TRUE.
The human brain is capable of astonishing achievements yet when we are placed in positions that might cause us to follow suit "we" revert back to the most primitive forms.
Look around you will witness it everyday..
To all, may you live your life as you want. May trouble never find you but if it does don't be affraid to stand up for what you believe in! My intention was never to make anyone agree with me. it was to question a wrong that came into my life.
I am signing out of this post to all much respect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well now...if a cow could achieve a Masters Degree...would it have learned about Webster's Dictionary and its use for spelling as an academic requirement in the quest for its 1st Bachelor's Degree? again, your now presumptious audacity as to questioning the education/IQ backgrounds of the other posters is palpable and lacking class. this shows your utter disdain for other peoples opinions and a paucity of knowledge in regards to the issues at hand.
as for the sentence in bold and underlined...you could not be more wrong.
