Why do instructors bash each other?? - Page 5

Wow, if I did that to one of my colleagues or someone in my field, I'd do serious damage to my career.

I never want to do another Jennifer Galardi workout again. There are so many nice, mature fitness professionals I can support. And, I have no idea who the other woman is so her opinion is irrelevant to me.

LOL. I was thinking similarly! The exchange made me feel a little sorry for Jen and Ashley. TA could care less about their opinions...she's laughing all the way to the bank! It makes these two seem petty and jealous of her success. Not a good look on them.

I thought the same thing. Very unattractive behavior!

Wow, that was tacky and childish. But, why do we read jealousy in everything?

Every criticism is not jealousy. Not everyone aspires to or is jealous of celebrity, especially in its current state.

I want to have a loving family and happy relationships. That is not something that seems common to celebrity. I find TA's personal life to be sad and tumultuous, no matter how many celebrities she trains (I find getting divorced sad, even when its necessary.)

Because of the snarky comments and the posting of TA's dvd w/ her face prominently displayed. Jennifer and Ashley are projecting their insecurities and, yes, jealousy. A secure person may say that they do not agree w/ the training method or they will focus on promoting their own message of fitness and health.

I don't know if it is jealousy, but that exchange was not constructive criticism. It was mean girl and bordering on bullying.

I thought it was funny. Twitter is full of snark. It's not a place to go if you are easily offended.

I am not sure I can exercise with Jen now. Nasty girl stuff, and Jen started it. I almost wish I hadn't known.

I forgot to add that the only DVD I own by any of them is TA.

I would have never heard of Jennifer Galardi if it hadn't been for Tracy Anderson. I was looking for more info on her workouts a couple of years ago after watching her YouTube arms workout and I came across VF. Of course, this site then introduced me to dozens of instructors, including Jen, and I have since purchased several of her DVDs. I don't understand the idea of competition when so many people crave variety. I think the lesser known instructors (irrespective of VF) likely benefit from consumers heading about the mega instructors like TA, Tony Horton, Bob, Jillian, etc because they then seek out other workout DVDs.
