Hello fellow fitness bloggers,
Ever since I started my fitness journey (coming up to a year now), I’ve always attended weekly fitness classes at my university. Since then, I’ve accumulated a number of growing frustrations that occur within the class hall.
I thought I’d share with you as a way of, primarily, venting, and secondarily, to see if anyone else puts up with the following people constantly…
2, 3 and 5.. If only those same kinda people would come to boxing class. That’s real venting!

The only class I take is pole fitness, and everytime I’ve gone someone hasn’t shown up and it annoys the crap out of me. The teacher runs the studio on her own, it’s her business and income and its frustrating when people no show because that’s putting her out of pocket if she had to turn someone else away because the class is full and these people don’t even have the courtesy to text and say they can’t make it. It’s nice to have the smaller class and more 1 on 1 attention but it makes my blood boil everytime she’s like “…I guess ****** isn’t coming so we’ll just start.” it’s just so rude of them.
The one time I got called into work I text her two hours before and felt bad for the short notice but she was just grateful I let her know.
Sorry, rant over.

Omg, this annoys me so much too. At university we have a first come first serve booking system, if the class if full you get put on a waiting list. Aka the most pointless list because people dont cancel their spot!!! Ive made friends with an instructor and even though the class is full by stats, we all know it wont be, so she lets me tag along regardless. Its good to rant!! Im a fellow ranter too so go ahead xx

This is so funny and I can totally picture each one of these in my own classes! The other category that I find funny are the ones that act like they could teach the class themselves… so funny how many people fall into these categories without even realizing it!

Funny post, Lexi 😀 Personally, what really irritates me are those girls with a full face of makeup who hardly put any effort into anything for fear of looking ‘bad’. Fair enough if you’ve just come from work or whatever, but if not then why even bother putting so much makeup on? I look like a tomato-faced, sweaty, gross mess at the end of my workouts and that’s how I like it! xx

Thanks Conni :), Yes number 8 annoys me too. I don’t think they realise just how much damage they’re doing to their skin my sweating under an inch of cloggy makeup! Even still, if you come from work, chuck in a makeup wipe to at least let your pores breath. Yes, and men love sweat too so embrace it!! xx

Sadly, I think I am guilty of number 4… but not intentionally! I just cannot get the hang of the squat. If my legs are only shoulder width apart, I fall backwards. So to counter that I either lean way to far forward with my body or I spread my legs super far apart. Honestly, I have no idea why but I just can’t do a “proper” squat. I hope I’m still getting something out of my workout with my version.

Sorry Alex, I’ve just seen this. I think all people guilty of number 4 are not aware so not to worry!! Have you considered asking a member of staff or class instructor for tips? You may be causing strain/damage to your back rather than gaining something for your workout! Ive been told i’ve been doing wrong before and they corrected me :):) xx

No worries Lexie! Lots of comments to respond to on a busy blog! I’ve reached the point when I avoid squats when I can. I did ask for help once but the girls answer was very generic and not helpful. I’ll have to ask a different instructor next time I do a class. It’s been a while though!

Love this post! I always see girls with so much makeup on at the gym… but I never actually see them do ANYTHING. They just kind of stand there, or walk around aimlessly hahahah

I’m so sorry, I’ve just seen this my lovely! My previous posts have explained I’ve had a little break over summer so I do apologise. Nevertheless – I couldn’t agree more with you! I’m hoping that come the new university term, I won’t run into the same makeup ridden girls again…but a new batch of freshers are due to arrive – no escaping!x

Wowsa, what about number 9. The judge, jury and executioner!!!
I think I’m guilty of at least a couple of these but I’ve stopped being annoyed by other people in classes.
