Agree with ALL of that, coming from a parent. At this point, I really don’t care if my kid wins. I’d probably prefer she didn’t win, because she is young enough to keep getting participation medals and it’s the WORST. She thinks she’s great at everything.
Location matters. We’ve been driving 35 minutes and now with her moving up we simply can’t keep doing the commute multiple times during the week. The gym has been great, but it’s just not something that fits in our schedule.
Kids also want to be where their friends are, which is normally close to home.
The hardest part of Covid for a lot of gyms I think will be the fact they may not have built that same connection they normally would have and it’ll be easier for people to leave. A lot of parents haven’t made friends with other parents, and it’s not hard to leave when nobody is causing you to stay.
