Anonymous because I don't want to give info about specific gyms, or location.
My family is looking at a new gym, and there is basically 1 option feasible for us, 25 minutes away. I'm not well versed in hours and tuition, but what they are offering seems ridiculous. It's around 500 a month for tuition plus "assessment fees" and another fee I cannot remember. It adds up just shy of 1000 a month. This is not including competition and attire fees. Gymnast is level 8/9, and for 8-10 hours are 25 a week. I might understand those numbers for elites in a big city or something like wcc, but for any regular athlete? I will add that this program is the best in our state and is highly esteemed. I just cannot justify those numbers but I'd hate for gymnast to stay at a gym that is no longer the right fit.
I could look around for something that is 40+ minutes away but for my family that probably just won't work. Am I asking for too much?
