Substitute Fitness Instructors
Substitute fitness instructors are worse than substitute teachers. Back in the day, you could try to fool a substitute teacher about your lesson plan. Often they phoned in it, knowing they wouldn't be teaching you for more than a day or two. They were benign interruptions. But substitute fitness instructors...bad. They don't care how the other instructor does things..they're going to do it their horrible way. Today that involved using the step. I hate step. I hate step class. That's why I don't go to step class. Step class is like walking up stairs, only interrupted by silly leg movements. Plus, it sounds disturbingly Third Reich when people are in synch. Do not want.
Bu today's sub won my undying enmity by playing a cover version of "More Than Words" that was only slightly more uptempo than the original by Extreme.
Do not watch this video. You have been warned.
More Than Words? I know brides who have banned that song from their wedding just in case the DJ got any bad ideas or requests. More Than Words?
I looked around the studio at my fellow gym folks, trying to catch their eye so I could suggest that we take our free weights and use them to quell this atrocity. No one else in that room looked horrified/appalled/scared. Was it possible that they liked the song? No, no, I won't imagine that horror.
The next time a substitute fitness instructor enters the room, I am exiting that room. 'nough said.
