[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there are a bunch of people on here saying they think a pool as a community asset is a different use case than a gymnastics gym.  I think this and I’ve seen others posting they think this too who are not me.

I understand the rec program makes use of the higher end gymnastics equipment too.  We all get it.  My own kid took gymnastics classes at Dymanic for years and they don’t have that whole setup.   I’ve been in both spaces.  [/quote]
What are you talking about?  Dynamic has all the equipment for a competitive team, just like Barcroff.  They do indeed have the whole set up.  [/quote]

I’m guessing they mean an in ground pit? I don’t believe Dynamic has one. I’m sure they’ve heavily explored the possibility but likely couldn’t break the concrete in their warehouse space to the depth required in the areas needed (or couldn’t without rerouting utilities or increasing structural supports in a way that wasn’t feasible). This is a common issue, most gyms with in ground pits are either purpose built or in much larger warehouse spaces further out that have more space to utilize overall. [/quote]

Dynamic has a pit in their team gym, but not their rec gym. It is also very over enrolled- and the waitlists are years long.

The team doesn’t do levels 9/10 so those girls will definitely have to look elsewhere. But I was surprised to see that the aerials (out of county) price is more than we pay at dynamic for the team. I don’t know how the hours compare, but it seems like they could definitely increase fees[/quote]

Level 7-10 are at 20 hours a week. [/quote]
