PBR Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 tycoon could you make it where gyms can only raise their fees friday thru tuesday or something similar? thought this was already discussed and it was agreed that something would be done -- this raising gym fees right before their taken out without any notice or word is old as chit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMATycoon Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 I'll move it up the priority list - if someone's done it, name and shame by all means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PBR Posted June 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 ctt right before fees were taken out raised to 400 -- then post in chat box that will be adding another coach -- thats fine and cool but this right before fees are taken out is b/s -- gave a fighter enough to stay working full time and pay gym fees but the raise fawked him -- had all week to say and do this but wait right till fees are due Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just left all my gyms after the Thursday PM training and will re-join before Friday AM assuming the fees aren't outrageous. It sucks that I have to do it this way but it's the only method right now to be sure you won't be scammed. But yes it absolutely needs to be fixed because people are having fighters forced into full time work through no fault of their own and when gyms pull this it absolutely needs to be made public so people know who to avoid.

Guest Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 It's pretty simple to keep gym members informed. I send mass emails in advance to make sure my troops are aware of upcoming changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 I have yet to be screwed over personally by a gym...but if I did I'd make sure they paid for it. It is highly unethical to raise gym fees without enough prior notice. I think we gotta blacklist the gyms that have done this, word of mouth is a good way to hurt a gym.

PBR Posted June 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 well this isnt the first time they have done this either -- whats worse is when you give your fighter enough money to pay fees and stay above 200 -- then last second they up the fees then your screwed working full time and paying gym fees for nothing -- total b/s but its showing they only care about themselves and their fighters only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onelung Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 The owner of Aussie Action in Sydney abused the gym fee system and should not be trusted. I would advise any fighters in Sydney to switch to Beatdown Palace gym. It isn't much more expensive and it's overall a better gym with a much better owner. Damage, Inc. in Tokyo is expensive but it's a very good gym and the owner is great at communicating rate changes (and the reasons for them) well in advance so there are no surprises or scams. Big Woody's in Montreal is also a great gym with a great owner and same for Honor FC Proving Grounds in London. Overall I'd imagine most gym owners aren't abusing the fees system but the ones who do absolutely should be made public. For the gym owners out there: communication is key. Most managers aren't going to have an issue with rate increases so long as it goes towards improving the gym and they have some advance notification. There shouldn't be any concern in raising rates so long as it's done correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that Damage Inc. in Tokyo is an expensive gym, but they have great communication, and excellent coaches (Elite actually). THey informed us of the increase in gym fees almost two weeks in advance. I'm happy to pay big money for great training if I'm kept informed of any changes.

Guest Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 To be fair, AmyD did say in the chat box that the price would be going up. Just not on what day. But as I understand it, it was done on the day fees are due to help pay for the signing bonus of the newest coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And since in the past the increases have been on the day fees are paid its a logical step to make sure your fighter has enough money to cover the new gym fees. I'm not saying its right, but there was enough notice to plan ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying its right, but there was enough notice to plan ahead. when someone is online a thousand times a day -- a simple "hey guys raising gym fees" is easy to type, 5 words 21 letters -- bottom line they dont want to put notice till its already done -- always talk about it yea, every gym talks about it but give notice before they do it so every is set and knows.

Guest Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 My joking other places aside, I think we all (including Amy D) would agree it wasn't handled ideally. However, I do know this manager very well personally and you may notice his activity is down considerably lately for reasons outside the game. It doesn't justify there being a bit less communication than their normally is, but I just don't think it's fair to characterize like he's been on a few dozen times in the past few days when I don't believe that's actually the case since Monday.

CAPITANKID Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 I will have to agree with everyone, Damage Inc is the best gym for my fighters, it is getting expensive but he has a lot of elite coaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage Inc , Bees Nest, Fightclub UK, NSA and Academy Ipanema i get updates from weekly some every day or so and also get asked if im cool with what they want to do or do i have any ideas for the gym but tthen thats how it should be when your part of a " Team " these managers havnt forgot where they came from and who got them there. iv been at CTT over 2months and still nothing more than someone who helps pay bills and who is not even wanted there. almost forgot 1 when i was at Seaville MMA he sent mail everyday reminding members of the days sparing sessions just in case they wernt VIP and couldt see the schedule .

DEVILDOG1 Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 With the rise of gym fees is there any way Tycoon could put another infusion of cash into our fighters accounts, perhaps allowing them to have loan capablities or when building a fighter have some type of other attribute for being wealthy or poor and balance it somehow? An infusion of cash is needed or most of my fighters will be going to cozad with the exception of a couple of my best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you have seen me mention it a few times but Fees were changed when i had Jimsmithers in there a few weeks ago and then as soon as i dropped out of the gym the people cap was lowered from 100 to 99 for a bit so i had no chance to get back in even if i had sent money from manager to Jim so i think what someone else said is true CTT only want certain managers and their fighters in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
