Changing gym - what would make you do it?

[jimmyquinn]

Why did you choose the gym you're currently at? Had you already fought before you started there?

How important is your trainer's fighting & coaching style to your loyalty to your gym? What about the camaraderie with the other fighters?

How long have you been at your current gym and is it the same one you've always been at? What (if anything) would make you look for a new gym?

Been with universal freestyle since I was 14, so that's nearly 15 years. The only way I would change clubs is if they shut down.

Yep, have only moved gym's for two reasons in my life.

1 - They closed
2 - Working hours / taking care of baby clash with available training times (has been the case for me now for 12mths).


Otherwise have been very happy with gyms trained at, mostly because I knew what to look for first before joining (club culture, trainers experience, reasonable cost, noobs wont get hammered by fighters, not a McDojo, trainers can help me reach my personal goals, etc.......).

**** training.... would move.
Otherwise no reason.

Dig in one spot, you eventually hit water, providing your trainer has a brain. Too many coke snorters in the industry who get some tats and think they're trainers.
