I am currently at a very good and highly respected Judo club. I feel at home when I’m in this Judo club. Great, friendly, and helpful environment. However, the one thing is that my work schedule conflicts a lot with my Judo training hours. I work from 7:30pm to 4:00am. Judo is from 7:00pm - 8:30pm. Usually I go once every two weeks or once a week. Very rarely do I go twice per week because it depends on my schedule.
Now, the dilemma that I am facing is this…there is another Judo club in my area that has a good reputation as well (both Judo clubs are regarded as the top two in my city), but the big positive for me is that this club offers classes at 12:00pm and at 6:30pm. I would be able to make it to the 12:00pm classes.
I did a calculation and if I stick with my current Judo club, I will only be able to get in 6 more days of training this month as opposed to 12 total days of training this month at the other gym.
My current gym charges $200 per month. The other one costs $25 per day which could amount to $300 or more for the month.
Do you think it would seem wrong from a gyms standpoint to train at both Judo clubs?
Who gives a fuck? It’s your money and time. Do whatever the fuck you want. You want to go to both judo clubs? Then go right ahead.
They might tell you some bullshit about loyalty but honestly it’s just that…bullshit. Train where you want. It’s none of their business.
Just realize you’ll be spending +500 bucks, per month, to do judo.

LOL. Good point. I actually found a more affordable Judo club. Classes 5 days a week for only $100 dollars. I am going to check them out.
I wasted a lot of time training back in my Kyokushin days trying to stay loyal to a club I could only train at maybe 3-4 times a month. Once I began training in Muay Thai to supplement it, I realized it should have been the first thing I had done when I couldn’t get optimal training times for my goals. Learn from my mistakes, go to what will offer you quality training at the times you require. If you can manage both, great, if not go with whatever one has the most options for you.
That’s a good problem to have. Judo is extremely rare in Alabama and I’m lucky to be at the gym I am. Most people would be SOL and you have the luxury of choosing between two.
