This was an EXCELLENT episode! You guys spoke to everything I’ve ever thought about group classes. As a former Zumba and Bootcamp instructor – you hit the nail on the head!
I did Bootcamp-Crossfit for a year at age 55 and we had 4 young male instructors who were just awesome. Then the young white females invaded the class. All of us older white males could feel the hate. The young female’s egos would not accept that an older white male could outperform them. We all left the class. I workout in my basement gym.
Absolutely love this, watched from beginning to end. It’s very true when doing a group class the trainer in your wants to fix everyone. Just love the views you guys always make, in all your podcasts. I will be sharing this episode with members of my community! Chi-miigwech!
I own a group exercise studio. Yoga and hiit classes. It’s a great place for the masses who desperately need exercise and a sense of community. Lots more pros than cons to group exercise. Simplicity is the key to exerciss selection. Random acts of variety never work. Systems work. Simple systems taught by positive people is the key to success . Bycyoga.com
The mounting horror as they describe a “cortisol junkie” and I realize they’re literally just describing me.
