    Happy 2023! I’m sure this post has long fallen off your radar, but I’d like to share an update. My daughter did change gyms in August and has had a great experience at the new gym. The silver team is large and the girls welcomed her right away…she’s fitting right in and is happy (as am I)...

    Wow, I never expected my post to get this many replies and engaging conversations. I do appreciate all of you that replied to my original questions related to leo cost, mandatory apparel purchases, etc. Other than that, I’ve tried to stay out of anything off topic in this post. However I...

    You and the others that have called it out are so right about these inflated fees and apparel being a huge barrier. I never thought about the elitism, but I agree on that as well. Thank you again for weighing in.

    Thank you for your reply. And both of those leos are really pretty.

    Thank you. And yes, this sport can be really rough. Feel free to private message me if you want to talk further or in more detail.

    Parents Last Day at Gym - Bullied by Coach

    OMGosh, I’m so sorry this happened to your daughter. But please don’t blame yourself…who would have thought an adult would act that way toward a child? But now you see her true colors….you might have dodged a bigger bullet by switching now. I know that’s no conciliation to your daughter right...

    First off, sorry, this post thread is doing something weird and when I try to undo or back out, it’s posting part of my response. Anyway, sorry for that. OK, the facility is average. It’s clean. The reason we are there in the first place is b/c of my boys. There aren’t as many choices for...

    Hi there. Hi there. Sorry for the delay, I’ve been gathering additional cost info for comparison. So the annual cost for my daughter in xcel silver at our current gym is $1,650 greater than the next closest gym. And $2,800 greater than the 2nd closest gym.

    Thanks for your reply. When first learning about the leo cost and hearing from all of you, it was just about the leo cost. But now that I, and some other moms of this gym, are looking into other gyms in the area, we see we are paying waaaay more in meet fees, monthly tuition and other apparel...

    I really do appreciate all of what you’ve shared. It’s been extremely insightful and helpful.

    Thank you for sharing this, I didn’t realize you had included an attachment until now. I still need to look it over…I can’t wait to see how our fees compare.

    Thanks for sharing your experience. $550, wow!

    Thank you for sharing. So far it does seem the high cost at our gym is the minority, which is good for all the other families out there. My kids just want to do gymnastics and it’s already so expensive.

    Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m glad I reached out to this group…I’m lucky I found chalk bucket.

    WAG $500+ competition leo!?!?

    Your reply made me smile…thank you for expressing the same outrage I feel as well. It is insane. And even though I think $700-$1,200 leos are outrageous, I doubt anyone, even USAG, is actually paying for the leos. GK gets so much free advertising by outfitting the team with these leos…they can...
  16. 3gymnastmom

    WAG $500+ competition leo!?!?

    Yes, $500+ just for the leo…and it could be more than $500 since they said the $250 deposit will hopefully cover 1/2 the cost. They also said we need new bags as well and that they’ll be ~$100. I am NOT getting a new bag, my daughter just got her brand new team bag with her name on it in late...

    WAG $500+ competition leo!?!?

    Xcel is a separate track…and I like that. The amount of time my boys spend at the gym pretty much prohibits them from any other activities, so I’m glad my daughter has a choice. Additionally something I didn’t share in my original post is that besides being gym owners, they also own an apparel...

    Yup, it might make more sense to suck it up and just go with it. 90% of my experience is in MAG and it’s run so differently from girls. All of these perspectives are really helpful. Thank you for sharing yours.

    Thanks, that sounds much more reasonable.

    WAG $500+ competition leo!?!?

    Thanks for sharing your experience. I can understand fancier, more expensive leos for optionals…at that point you know you are committed to the sport. With my daughter just entering her 2nd year, who knows how long she’ll want to do this.
