Nah, the sad part is they are in it for the money instead of the art. I really enjoyed providing it as a service. Never took a dollar in payment myself. We charged a nominal fee to cover rent and expenses, but it made it available to a lot of people that could use it and it made it so the instructors weren't churning out black belts to meet a contract.
When I was in my 20's and learning Aiki Ju-jitsu, the gentleman that ran it, based his monthly dues on the rental cost of the judo hall plus the costs of running the club divided by the members Some of the friends I made in that club are still good friends 20 years later
