Your favorite male instructors?
So, sometimes I just really prefer working out with guys.
 Who are your favorite male instructors, and feel free to tell us why (besides the obvious, of course). Here are mine so far (though maybe I'll be adding Lalo Fuentes to this list): ~ Gilad ~ Tom Holland ~ Billy Blanks ~ Patrick Goudeau ~ Eoin Finn ~ Greg Sims ~ Michael Olajide ~ Gunnar Peterson ~ Jillian Michaels (he he, couldn't resist!)

You have two of mine already: Billy and Eoin.
I'm a Tony Horton fan. He's encouraging, funny, no-nonsense (in the workouts, that is, not the chatter) but not too hardassed. There are several in yoga: Rodney Yee. His alignment instructions are fabulous and some of his sequences are genius. Besides the obvious. Erich Schiffman. No eye candy here, but a great soothing voice, spirituality, and wonderful yoga. Nirvair Singh. Like Erich Schiffman for kundalini. Bryan Kest. Love him or hate him ... I only have his original series (keep hearing that's the best), but I've also taken a live workshop. I love his attitude and his bluntness. Some don't.  And he looks good with or without the hair.

My favorites:
- Eoin Finn (gotta love his passion for yoga and life, one of the few that'll inspire me to do power yoga) - John Friend (great instructor, very approachable-seeming) - Marcus Irwin (excellent cuer, fun personality) - Marc-Oliver Kluike (great sense of humor, creative choreography) - Tilak Pyle (he's just as compassionate in person) - Erich Schiffmann (what's not to like? the rare person who can say a lot with a few, simple words, plus excellent sequencing and an intuitive understanding of it all) I also like Carlos Arias, Jeff Borden & Greg Sims, Rob Glick, Patrick Goudeau, Marcos Prolo, and Raji Thron, too. And I'm sure I'll think of someone else I'm missing soon.

I took a quick survey of my videos, and here's my list and reasons:
Gilad-- he's got great cuing; his workouts are efficient and always put me in a good mood. Brian Kest--great stretching, and I feel strong afterwards George Foreman--what a great big sweetie--Petra leads but he encourages and smiles with those deep, deep dimples Richard Simmons--always a mood elevator, and always a surprisingly good workout.
