Forever lost

I like the app a lot but my biggest issue (excluding occasional crashes and such) is that I cant get my Pokémon out of the gym. I understand you dont want people farming for coins so easily but my snolax has been stuck in a gym for almost a week. Even if its after a few days you give us the option to return it or something like that but people keep berrying my snorlax at a gym that hardly anyone goes to apparently. Thats my biggest problem thus far but like I said otherwise love the game but I wish I had a way to get Pokémon back from the gym other than having to rely on someone to knock it out
