Hi guys
I am changing gyms and, due to my work location, really only have two choices. I would really appreciate it if you could look at the descriptions below and tell me which one you would personally go to if faced with the same choice.
Gym A
- $180 USD a month, $40 USD joining fee
- Some really good instructors but also some so-so ones
- Large selection of classes - morning, afternoon and night so that I can at least train 2-3 times a week
- No limit to class sizes - some of the classes can have a ratio of 1:5 (which is good) but others can be 1:25 (not so good)
- Gym is dirty.
- Competition teams for both boxing and BJJ, not sure for MT.
Gym B
- $160 a month, $5 USD joining fee
- Better instructors in terms of both experience (more fights/success in competition) and willingness to teach
- Limited class sizes - I think the limit is 15 students for every coach
- Gym is new and very clean
- Bad timetable - e.g. only 2 MT classes on offer each week; no separation between beginners and more advanced students.
- No competition team for boxing, BJJ or MT (the gym is too new to have that).
- Most students are beginners so the class content is often adjusted to focus on basics. There is boxing sparring but apparently no MT sparring yet (they said they will add it when there are more more advanced MT students).
Thanks guys!
