I'd love to hear advice on how to leave a gym gracefully. With my daughter increasing her time at the gym, I'd like to change to the gym that is closer to where we live. I went to visit the gym and she had one practice session and will go again to try another practice this week. My daughter is 9 years old and has been asking to go to the gym closer to home for the past year. The gyms are comparable in price/size, etc. However , after observing a practice at the new gym, I did notice that they fully use their time and there isn't a lot of down time during practice, which I do find good. That being said, the drive and the occasional lack of professionalism are the turn-offs from the current gym...well, and now I see the practices could be more productive. To be fair the driving time the new gym saves me is only 10 minutes but with my son getting into his own activities, it will be helpful to be in the town we live in, with a gym 5-7 minutes away from home. So how do I leave my current gym that my daughter has been going to for the past two years (from rec to level 3) without burning bridges?
