Parents Travel Distance for a gym

[Cobgym11]

Wondering how far is too far to travel for a gym? Our current gym seems to have maxed out at their ability to coach beyond a certain level. We love the gym, but looking for one that can coach level 8’s and higher. We are about 1 hour away from Boston, and Connecticut. Western Massachusetts seems to have very limited options.

When my daughter switched gyms, the new one was 35-40min away. I knew it would be a bigger commitment from me to get her there, but I haven't had a moment of regret seeing how much she loves the new gym and how it's a perfect fit for her.

We live about 10 minutes from our local gym but have chosen to commute to a gym about 45 minutes each way. While it is definitely a bigger commute than staying local it was the best decision. The local gym only has one level eight( the highest level offered ). The gym where my daughter trains has multiple level 10’s .

That’s really up to what works for your family. We have at least 3 girls that travel at least 1.5 hours one way to our gym. They carpool so that helps, but I’m not sure I could manage it personally. We recently moved and now drive 30-35 min vs 15-20 and I hate it.

Thanks! I keep saying— 45 minutes, am I crazy — but it’s good to hear others consider it. Thanks
