What a bummer I am sorry this happened to you. I hate to say it but it does not surprise me because I have heard some "horror" stories like this, especially about FB groups.
I have found that for other situations like this, what has helped me, is to go back and read what I wrote - is there any way that my tone could have come across wrong? Did I use the wrong word or words? Maybe, maybe not. It helps me to check though. And I usually stick w/ the "kill them w/ kindness" rule. Maybe do a f/u post - explain that you didn't personally like that specific workout, but overall you love Suzanne's stuff & are happy that it's working out for others - after all, none of us, I don't think, want the rest of us/others of us to have a crappy time working out! Sorry if this sounds too icky-yucky-pukey-positive, hehe. Maybe THEY are out on their forums posting the same thing, wondering if THEY were too harsh or whatnot. Sometimes it can be tough on the web, even after all these years of experience we all have with "netiquette" LOL. At any rate - good luck I hope it works out ok for you and maybe just step away from the group but keep up w/ SBF, esp. the workouts you like! You might PM or email Suzanne direct and just explain your thoughts in a constructive manner. I know I personally wish the HIIT would quit. I want my hour long LISS workouts back. LOL. We need to speak up! JK JK, but you know, we can't be the only ones not a fan of HIIT, and I think instructors need to realize there are some loyal non-HIIT-lovers too.

I just turned 30 a couple months ago, so the Internet has been a large part of my life for over 15 years now. You'd think by now I'd know all the ins and outs of netiquette!
I like the idea of stepping away from the FB group but still doing the workouts, though, so I'll try that! |

I realize that is not what that means ... But, man, I really have to go off the popularity grid to find lengthy-interval type workouts ... HiiT has to be a certain type of music and more likely, more or less self-directed to make it with me ...

Ugh, I'm sorry to hear this, but also not surprised. It sounds to me that you offered some constructive feedback. I'd say if you're enjoying the workouts, keep them up! But yeah, I'd probably back out from the FB group. That kind of group-think that leads to shutting people down who have an alternate opinion freaks me out. Sadly, as a culture, we're becoming less and less able to engage in respectful dissent.

I am a current subscriber to SBF, although I do not participate in her FB group. If you mostly like her workouts, I would say don't let one person deter you. It is too bad that people cannot just respect the fact that everyone has a right to their own opinion.
