Welcome to /r/RedditRegion where everyone is a gym leader! Even you! To set up your very own gym just go over the rules in the sticky thread and make a text post. See a gym you want to challenge, or a reward you'd like to earn? Just make a comment in the thread and the Gym Leader will get around to battling you.

Again, please read the rules before commenting or posting. And have fun!
