Come on, workouts are a personal intimate thing. Of course you are going to stick with a trainer you feel comfortable with. You stick to the same dentist or gynecologist don’t you.

It’s not that unusual. Workouts are personal things. Once you get comfortable working with someone, the relationship is just as important as the workout itself.

Its funny because I feel the same way. I have a yoga instructor where I live that I just connect with for some reason. He actually swamped studios a little while back and I had to move as well because the new instructor just didn’t feel right.

my time is precious..while I hate to hurt anyone’s feelings (the sub) I do not want to risk wasting it. I teach also and my people are the same way.

I totally get having a *favorite* instructor, even one that I specifically plan my workouts around, but I can’t imagine bailing on a class just because there was a sub.

Hi THere,

I have a strong alliance with my yoga instructor Denby at Breathing Space Avalon. I love many fitness instructors for many reasons – especially some at home in Australia.

I also love the guys at Lifecycle fitness. Such gentlemen but amazing instructors.

Sometimes someone fabulous can thstill lead you into a rut, and to be SO disappointed when they are not available, is doing yourself a disservice. Variety is the spice of life.

I have to confess .. . I have certain instructors that I like better than others ( i have my best numbers with; the 45 minutes goes quicker, the music is more my taste) . . .it doesn’t make the other instructors bad . . . we are just not compatible.

I just want to take the time to comment on Ilaria Montagnani. If only I could live in NYC, I too would be an ardent follower of hers. Twelve years ago I had the great honor and pleasure of becoming part of her Powerstrike Team. However, geographical boundaries and familial obligations prevented me from fully embracing the opportunity. Oh how I wish it could have been different! Ilaria is beyond inspirational and motivating. She single-handedly made me love martial-arts based fitness… HER brand and take on it. And oh how I long to be one of her dedicated participants on the front row… kicking butt and taking names! Miss you Ilaria!
