the hell that is a crap aerobic class instructor.

[Meglet]

My heart sinks when a crap teacher is covering a previously good class. Too shouty, too screechy, music so loud we can't hear a word, zero sense of humour.....ggrrrr.

These days I've perfected my smiley face while counting the minutes until the class ends.

We have a pants combat teacher, she thinks shouting makes up for the fact she can't throw a punch.

Ugh. At my old gym we used to have an instructor that everyone dreaded. She wore 1980's aerobics clothes and played really awful, uninspiring music. Even her routines were dull. People would leave the class halfway through sometimes . She was actually the HEAD fitness instructor, bizarrely. I think she was grandfathered-in or something and couldn't be gotten rid of.

The most amazing body combat class I used to do was at a chain gym in a poorer part of my city. Lots of tattoos and jewellery on everyone. It added a frisson of danger to the class as you could imagine actually being in a fight with some of them I attended body combat at a David Lloyd gym in the nicer part of town and it was soooo wet. Awful. A complete parody.

The best aerobics class I did was so old school. Lots of star jumps and grapevines but the instructor NEVER stopped. I was bloody knackered. Great workout.

Funny how some of them get it so wrong isn't it.

oscar bad music kills a class for me. My favourite teacher plays the best mash-up cd's, lots of Prodigy and Lady Gaga.

And save me from the inspirational track at body balance. And the wanky pretend sword chopping at combat. I have a face like this when they're 'chopping' and pretending to grab heads.

Oh yes, the pretend swords/knives And the pseudo martial arts bit where it's meant to be spiritual. Just get the fast music back on!

I went to a Zumba class last week where the Instructer didn't utter a word during the routines. She just pointed and left us to it! Everybody was all over the place. Was very weird
