How old are you
I remember reading from the PL section that there aren't many people that are full on that train there and that makes derek sad, srs.
Is there another gym nearby?
Just go to a gym...doesn't matter which one,
although that would be cool to train there.
Just tell your parents, it's not likely and very often that you get to live next to professional strongman's gym.
You can learn a lot of valuable things from him and guys who work closely with him, on stuff like proper form, proper stretching, a lot of crap basically.

I'm surprised they don't trust me, I barely do anything bad to make them not trust me.

Typical parent lol.
Today is a sad day guise.
Went on dereks website for the gym, It is $900 for a 1 year gym membership. And it is $20 for a day pass. Looks like I won't be training here permarmently but I will definitely pay $20 for the day pass just to experience it.

Mark bell is the man. I just want to train at a hardcore gym. Fuarkkkkkk

Yeah 900 is ridiculous though. Would rather invest it in a hardcore home gym.

Yeah might just stick to my home gym lol
Just go to a different gym. You'll make gains either way
this is like saying I don't wanna study at Albert Einstein's house.
Do as you please (if you can afford it.) It's not like you're going to a strip club to have some chick dance on your face. You're doing something productive and healthy. He knows what he's doing.
Be reasonable and adult like with your folks, but tell them your decision and whether they support you or not, do what make you happy.
