    I wouldn't want to work out there anyway if they were like that. Move on and find somewhere else to work out.

    Find a new gym with people the same level as you... could be more of a challenge and more enjoyable for you as well. :) Don't let the haters discourage you!

    Have you every considered training in MMA more specifically Muay Thai? Kickboxing is a great beginner level but sounds like your past it. Move on up :)

    PS When haters are hating it's cause they are appreciating ;) lol

    This is a joke right? If you're paying for a membership, what can they do? Get your money back from them or sue them for breach of contract. Most gyms charge you for 6months upfront.

    I used to train MMA about 4 days a week about 2-3hrs at a time, but the gym was specifically for martial arts so nobody complained. If they're going to be rude to you then find another gym that appreciates that you want to train your *kitten* off!

    They sound pretty rude, find a gym with more like minded people.

    Sorry.

    That's insane! You pay your membership fee like everyone else! Why would they be dictating your workouts! there job is to hold the class for who ever shows up...I smell a little law suit if you ask me...but that may be extreme on my part.

    That is crazy, I have never heard of a gym banning someone for working out too much.

    Definitely time for a new gym. Get your money back & let management (corporate if they are a chain ) know about the text. I'm thinking, but not sure, that text harassment might be a crime like phone harassment and the business should be aware there could be legal ramifications. Then, move on.

    You're doing it wrong.... You need to TEACH and GET PAID. You can run as many classes as you want.

    oh well now to find new gym
    My bank JUST called. They say I have too much money and I have to take some out. Oh well, now to find a new bank.

    Anyone remember "The Simpsons" episode where Homer was thrown out of the All-You-Can-Eat seafood restaurant for eating too much and he sued? He got the lawyer who successfully sued the creators of "The Neverending Story."
