I really like Lauren Brooks workouts....but I also really like Dasha workout to, I'm trying to figure out why she posted this??

I guess competition for our fitness DVD dollars is getting really tough, just a few week ago Buti did something kind of similar on her FB page about TA

I saw that post and wondered the same thing.

Instructors doing things like this is such a turn-off for me. I wish instructors would tout the merits of their own workouts instead of knocking others'.

Why don't they realize that it isn't a case of either/or, that an awful lot of us like both?

I saw that too. I didn't understand it either. I use Lauren for strength & Dasha's style for cardio. They are different styles - but that doesn't mean it's wrong. Just different.

I wont buy media from instructors who act this way. Because of Amy Bentos rude comment about taebo, I won't buy any of her workouts either. There are plenty of instructors who behave professionally and I have all the variety I need with them.

Yeah, let the customers review and decide... I don't care for when instructors judge others.

Same here. I was incredibly turned off by that comment.

Okay, I just went on facebook and saw this post plus read all the replies and all I can think is

. Seriously, why all the negativity? Why is that even necessary? Both workout styles can have their place, imo. Dasha is certainly qualified to teach kettlebells. So what if this is a "hybrid" workout? I happen to like cardio centric workouts with lighter kettlebells! Does that make me a moron or something?

Why oh why are SO many people in the fitness world like this? SO often it's "MY way is right and every one else is an idiot"

They call themselves "purists"? I call them narrow minded jerks.
