To not go to fitness class when coach has sick kid and has spent hours cleaning it up...

Would you go to a class if you knew the coach was nursing a sick (vomit) child at home?
I don't know if I'm being OTT or whether (since I don't have to go) I should just miss it.

How do you think you're going to catch something from an instructor running the class?

I’d not go, but I detest vomiting -some people don’t mind as much as others.

Absolutely not! If I don't go to the class I will go for a run.

Totally depends on the fitness class. Spinning or yoga where we all keep to ourselves, yes. Water aerobics or swing dancing where there is more contact or mixing of fluids, I might give it a miss.

That said, I’ve quite often cleaned up kid vomit and not gotten ill myself even with very high levels of contact, so risk is overall low.

It's circuits. Coach will demo with apparatus which we will then use.

Would you be expecting a refund?

You really are looking for any excuse to stay in and watch tv and eat a takeaway aren’t you? 😆

I’d still go but I’m pretty immune to bugs like that.
