I hit the limit on my public gym, can't have more than 14 coaches (where others can have more) because I actually built the coaches "right." I accept there should be some limit, because some gym owners have enough money to lose a lot of money on a gym, so it limits supergyms. Though right now it tends to make public gym training a lot worse than a better formed limit would. If you look at the gym page about coaches, training in most areas needs more than one discipline to be effective. So I actually invested in the secondaries. That of course though used up "total coach points" so as to run out. So it rewards people who have a coach who does "defensive grappling" that has only BJJ and no Wrestling (or even worse only Wrestling and no BJJ), because even getting the secondary to 10 adds 60% to what the coach "costs" in total coach points, though less than that to his salary, if the main skill is Elite. I've seen some truly egregious cases of awful coach design, like coaches who know only Boxing teaching Clinchwork. But even if someone for Clinchwork used the most important primary skill of Muay Thai, they still won't be effective because Wrestling is important too, and a Clinchwork coach should also have at least a bit of Boxing. On the other hand, it probably is a good idea to pressure not all coaches to be Elite (in anything). That's already incentivized through the salaries coaches cost, Having Sensational (just one notch down) rather than Elite is a a large cost savings. But money isn't enough to push that, because lots of people have a whole lot of money. There are various better ways to handle a total skill cap that would allow more coaches made with attention to secondary skills without allowing more one-discipline Elite coaches. One would be to count the coach's highest skill fully, but...only the highest discipline fully counts. Others cost half. So if you do it right and given a Defensive Grappling coach Elite BJJ and Remarkable Wrestling or something, Another would be a coach payroll cap rather than total skill cap. The system already makes Elite cost a premium, as it should (so more strongly allows more coaches if you have some non-Elite); but I think that would allow a couple more coaches (compared to now) to people who give their coaches the secondary skills needed for what they teach. Another might be to only count points in a discipline above 70 against the cap, though then cut the cap in half. So if every coach were 140 Elite in every skill they have, it wouldn't change anything as to the cap. But you could put 70 as a secondary skill and not count it at all against the cap. That's pretty low even for a secondary skill, but defensive grappling, as the example I've most used...I'd much rather train with a BJJ Elite/Wrestling Proficient coach than BJJ Elite/Wrestling Useless. It also rewards (as to the cap) having non-Elite coaches, which would be good. For Elite trainers to be as rare as they ought to be would take too massive an overhaul, but it could be nudged more in that direction. From what Mike says clearly, you have to be very, very good in a skill (at least already Wonderful, maybe already Exceptional) to need an Elite trainer to train it fully, so fighters not yet at their peak don't need them. But you do need your trainer to have some secondary skills to gain nearly fully. I made three suggestions to stop the total coach skill cap from overly punishing doing secondary skills rather than one-skill coaches. I hope at least one of them can be seriously considered and eventually implemented.

Do you need a fitness coach to train for stuff like yoga weights and cardio or can you just do that without one?

I'm looking get some of my fighters into a private gym where I can have 1:1 training. If anyone with VIP has a free company slot, I'm willing to fund 100% of the gym's weekly costs after 1k/gym dues per fighter and you can have half of the coaches to yourself. I've also seen some threads where people are renting out coaches at their private gyms before. In case, I can't find a gym partner I'd be interested in this as a backup plan. If you are interested, PM me in game. Cheers

Hi, I have been building up a open gym with 19 coaches and in the end my purpose is to have so called monster gym with 19 Elite coaches. Currently my gym total coach skills are >3400 and rising. As all gym owners know some coaches starts to get greedy. Usually solution would be to sack that bastard and hire a new one...I wonder is it working in this case because my total skill would way more than 3000 after sacking even few coaches? I mean that I guess it is not possible hire new coach in this situation and my effort to build this kind of a gym is doomed to fail. It would be at least expanding the life cycle of this gym if gym fee could be set higher. Anyway it might be only me but this sucks that I am stuck with the greedy coaches and cannot hire a new one like in the real world. Or I need to lower my gym quality and "regular" gyms can swap the coaches when ever.

I just got a gym and now have a few questions: What are the practical differences between single elite coaches versus double elite ones? Is it better to train Gnp with a double elite in BJJ/Wrestling? or is it just a flexibility thing for managing the gym? Do I need elite Boxing and MT to train SD properly? or just one of those is enough?

Hi, I have a private gym with 30 fighters and 13 coaches. All my coaches say that they are "satisfied with his wage but thinks it could be better". My question is, when should I raise their wage? What kind of message they will have to tell me? And also how much wage should be the limit before I fire the coach and get a new one? Thanks for any response. Regards,

A new gym has opened up in Rio De Janeiro named -=5 Star Elite=- : http://www.mmatycoon.com/gympublic.php?gmid=2641 We are a low cost gym with high quality coaching, training partners, and low class sizes. We intend to keep it that way. This gym is not profit driven. This gym is intended to make the best fighters possible and evolve with the fighters as they grow. Join up, and let me know what your specific training needs are, and I will acommodate. We are currently partnered with Rio based Fight Organizations and Clothing Companies to help you land fair and well paying contracts, as well as sponsorship deals. If you run a decent nutrition company we are also looking for a partnership there. If you run Clothing Company we are also looking for continued sponsoring of our fighters. We are new, but have grown rapidly and will continue to grow. We would love to have your fighters join us, and be a part of a budding community of top quality fighters. Recently we just hired two new Elite Coaches in BJJ and Wrestling. Take advantage of the low class sizes. Cheers, Lefty Yin

Hey All-o-y'all Could we get a link for a quick scrolldown button at the gym? You know like it is in the assistant - where you can click and it moves to the fighters - cause I hate scrolling through all the coaches or having to move the mouse to the scrollbar - it just needs to go to the "your fighters in this gym"-section - I don't need to have them all listen on top like in the assistant - just a "get down quick link" - doesn't sound all that complicated and would save me like a couple of seconds each time i meddle with my fighters training It could be a little arrow pointing down right next to "join fighter" or something like that regards JF PS: just realized its the second link i'm demanding...
