What about the opposite phenomenon? The gym shopper? I've been told of many athletes OPENLY trying out at multiple (up to 4!?!) gyms shopping for their placement of choice. That's the real disgrace!I have to say that the term "gym hopping" is crazy. I am both a gym owner and cheer parent. From an owner's perspective we have a service we are selling. If I don't do my job then you should leave. You have no moral obligation to stay. It's hard when dealing with people and friendships form. The fact is you pay to come there. From a parent, I would have no problem changing if I don't feel my child is getting their money's worth. It is not the athlete nor the parents job to help a gym grow. If you do the right thing you will. Very simple. It drives me nuts for a gym owner to pull heart strings on a child to get them to stay. Get off your butt, coach, they will. Very simple!

They should. Do you not shop around for the best with your kids? Buying a car? Once again, do our job and there is no problem.
Why would trying to find a gym that fits both you and your child's needs, be a disgrace? I have had my child try-out at two different gyms...and then we both evaluated what was the best fit.
I agree 100%! If the athlete isn't happy they should change. Too many "coaches" talk loyalty when in reality they won't get off their butts and coach! Like I said, it's my job as a coach to make you better and happy. If I do that then there is no problem, if I do and you still leave, then it wasn't meant to be. We had an athlete who left because all we had to offer her was a Jr 2, she was a lot better she was a level 3, she left, we worked the kids butts off all yr they became a 3 and guess what, she came back the next season!I changed gyms 3 times in one season. Call me a gym hopper? that's fine. I was finding which program made be the happiest and suited me the best. So sue me.

My question is every season for 3 years do you switch 3 plus times.... :) Sometimes you have to do what you have to do and well, sometimes there are exceptions :)
To answer your question, No. I was at Gym A for 4 seasons. Did my hopping around, ended up at Gym B for my last two seasons.
