[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Toughest? Probably Olivia. But it’s unnecessarily tough, annoyingly tough so I stay away from her.

The best instructors- bike Matt (great teacher), tread- Becs (great teacher) and Marcel Dinkins (hilarious and makes the runs go by faster), strength- Jess (she really fires up my muscles) and runners ups are Rad, Adrian, Selena, and Emma for core. Bike Bootcamp- Tunde and Jess. Tread Bootcamp- Jess and Adrian. Yoga- Kristin and Dennis (old school yoga instructors). I sprinkle other instructors here and there but those above are my go-tos.

Nobody's rides are more consistently difficult than OA. Very demanding.  I do most of them and when I do a ride with someone else I always feel like I could have worked harder[/quote]

They're demanding for you because you respond to her style and follow her cues.  I find her annoying AF and so I ignore her.  One of Robin's Tabata classes, or Hannah F's HIIT and Hills, though, I'll work for.  [/quote]

I find Olivia very demanding. Why do you find her annoying? Just curious. I find a lot of the instructors annoying![/quote]

Two things.  First, I just don't click with her instructional style with way I do with, say, Robin or Hannah F. or Tunde.  I find Olivia bland.

Second, and more important, she's too unstructured for me.  The HIIT & Hills I tried with her were a lot of, "Now you're in a hill!  Go!" and "Now we're in an interval! Go!" with no sense of overall class structure, timing, etc.  Maybe it was just the few I tried, but they were bad enough that I have no desire to try her again.  By contrast, Hannah F. structures her HIIT & Hills beautifully and communicates that structure clearly at the beginning of the class.  Maybe Olivia has a plan in mind, but it doesn't seem like it.  As someone who was coached at a pretty high level in my previous athletic life, I find that tendency both frustrating and lazy.
