So we just switched to Xcel but not for financial reasons. My kiddo has Osgoods and her knee couldn't take the JO hours for lvl 8. It's been the best decision. It keeps my kiddo in the gym doing what she loves but gives her body a break and she is pain free mostly (a little sore some nights but nothing like it was). However, I am only paying $100 less a month for about 60% fewer hours in the gym each week. About $1k less for the season for meet fees. So in the scheme of things, about $2300 less a year. Which isn't much in gym dollars. haha. Our Xcel doesn't go to their big travel meet either, so i'm saving $ that way but we never went to the big travel meet as a JO family either. But Xcel can be an option that you can look into to see if it's more budget friendly for you.
