So TA gets more free publicity, Jen and Ashley get publicity as well, and a few hundred more people decide to take a closer look at their workouts. Win-win-win. I also think the Lauren thing got blown way out of proportion. She was just mentioning a popular magazine article and "these exercises won't be on my DVD". Pretty straightforward, and I would want that info and as much other info as I can get if I'm dropping $40 for one dvd.

I find it a bit funny. The way Jen put quotes around "work out". Obviously they are expressing that they don't think TA is legit...which is nothing new. It is catty and petty, though. Jackie |

I completely despise this trend of instructors throwing each other under the bus; whether it's done bluntly or in an oblique/insinuating/passive aggressive way. Either way the intent is clear. To any fitness instructors reading this forum, please understand this kind of behavior makes you appear petty and desperate.
I seriously hope this trend stops quickly. Quote:

I was referring to the comment below, with which I respectfully disagree. I should have been clearer in my initial post! I agree that some of the comments regarding the various instructors may go beyond what is necessary to convey a point. But I REALLY don't like instructors bashing each other! |

I have to agree...makes them look like a couple of 14 year olds. Pretty sad. Sorry to say but it reeks of jealousy. If you don't like somebody else's style of fitness, that's fine...and you can laugh or make fun of it all you want. But clearly TA has a massive clientele that feel her method is worth forking out mega $$ to go to her studios. I doubt even people with more money than they know what to do with would spend that kind of cash per month if it didn't do anything for them. Love her or hate her..TA has got something a lot of people want. Hard to take instructors like these others seriously when they don't even take themselves seriously and act like children like that. And I mean this for instructors bashing each other. Us, as consumers sharing our opinions, in a constructive and not vile! way is how we learn and inform each other.
Geez...too early in the day/week to be getting worked up hah! Sorry...done ranting. Back to my happy place! |

I dislike bashing, sure, but I do think there is room for respectful disagreement (this twitter conversation is obviously not that!) Some instructors really believe their method is better, safer, more effective. I think it's fine for an instructor to say, 'I do heavy lifting/HIIT/steady-state cardio/high rep-low weight/whatever because I believe it is better/safer/more effective/whatever.' I don't think they need to call out anyone else by name or be snarky about it, but they do what they do b/c they believe in it. As long as disagreement is respectful and tactful, I don't mind it. It can be very educational, actually.
I think the same applies to VF. We should def. have the freedom to say, 'I tried X, I didn't like for the following reasons...' That helps everyone else make informed decisions. |
