i'm a professional fitness instructor

being a fitness instructor has its up and down times...if you are good looking or pretty, you can be passed off like a celebrity icon with members jam packing the class you teach, that's one of the many up times...and down times are when you just come into one of the session fully witnessing the unprofessional side of some fitness instructor.

i was the 'lucky' one to have witness one today. the mic unfortunately was not working during this fitness instructor's class...so the instructor went to the front desk to check for replacement. alas...there was none. the instructor stormed back into the class and announced to the whole class that there wasn't any replacement mic and started throwing tantrums by showing a fucked up face, throwing mic belts on the floor and making it known to members that it was a challenging class and if anyone thinks he or she can't make it through half way, please leave the class immediately. this is ridiculous...

the other thing was, instructors are taught to be empathetic towards first timers...this instructor commanded attention and insisted that the first timer kept a constant watch at the instructor's every move...it was hostile...i felt like a firing target...a moving firing target waiting for the instructor to verbally shoot me if i was the first timer.

anyway, cutting the story short...i'm grateful i'm not such an instructor. no matter how bad the situation is...i will never ever lash out at my 'clients'. i guess this distinct characteristic differentiate us, the creme de la creme from the mediocre ones...yes, you...the fitness instructor who showed us all your 'cibai' face...please be a tiny wee bit more professional next time.
