I like her, and most instructors, in a group. It seems more fun and like a class.

I prefer her in a group even though she drives me nuts with her maniacal laughing and walking around talking to everyone. I like the energy of the group and the fact that they’re all having a good time.

I prefer the group ones. The energy is better, I can find someone else to focus on other than Leslie if she's bugging me lol.

I've been doing a lot of Leslie workouts lately, and the ones I like best are a mixture of group and solo, but they are all at least 5 years old.

It depends on the group, and I prefer if there aren't men in the group. I don't know what it is about having (youngish) men in the group that causes Leslie to act so cringeworthy, but it makes me so embarrassed for her.

"Nick! Nick! I need to fist bump, Nick!"

"Jimmy! This mambo is for you!"

The walk blaster workouts are the worst. Between Leslie fawning over Jimmy, that girl that looks like she's being tasered, and the dull choreography it's almost unbearable.

Yes but then Leslie's extreme goofiness in a group is what I like!!
Marching in place is NOT serious business and I appreciate the silly banter, the giggly laughter (most of the time) and -most of all- the visual variety of different people to look at. Leslie marching alone is rather boring to me.

I especially enjoy when she behaves rather foolishly around Nick. Doesn't make me cringe, lol.

ETA - One of my favorite 'walkers' is that guy Michael who's always dancing and adding commentary. Hilarious!

I’m with Lucky Star... the goofiness and Leslie’s interactions with the participants make me smile. That’s why Leslie is a go to for me when I’m not feeling super happy.

I have done a couple of her group workouts SO many times that I grimace a little when I hear the same joke, but the grimace is cured when I mix up the workouts and don't repeat the same ones too often. If it's been a little while, then the corny jokes make me smile again.

I really tried to pick an answer but I have favorites of both kinds. I had to pick that it doesn't matter to me.

Yup, Marvin's another favorite. I love the walkers with personality. The goofier the better -- makes it much more fun.
