[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve taken my last Robin ride today. She used to be a fairly tough instructor and I enjoyed the challenge. But today her commentary was primarily about her and her daughter, she pretty much danced while making God awful faces into the screen, and it was obvious she turned the knob left while directing us to turn right. She’s mostly into showboating and not instructing these days.[/quote]

I feel like my problems with Robin are not just that she talks too much; probably more importantly she seems VERY disingenuous (much more so than she used to be). I remember taking her turkey burn ride last year and she did a call out to mothers that felt really moving and real, and yet her rides lately just seem VERY fake. And I don't mind talkers all the time, I LOVE Cody, but Cody has not lost his 'realness' whatever that is.

DP, but I agree.  I took a HIIT and Hills with her (she was wearing yellow!  It was going to be so hard!) and... she LIED about the number of intervals we did.  Lied.  Said there would be 8 in one block and then did 6, probably because she was talking so much, and still claimed we did 8. Stop it.  I know she's human and hell, she may be struggling with adjusting to being a mom, for all I know.  But own it.  I've had other instructors say, oh, I gave more/less rest than I planned, or I missed an interval or whatever.  But don't lie about something, FFS.[/quote]

This made me laugh because I can feel your anger here - I share it! I did an Olivia HIIT class and it drove me nuts because she said there would be 4 blocks, but there were 5. We did block 4, which she called block 4, and then she moved onto block 5 which she continued to call block 4, and there was no acknowledgment at any time that this was not actually the 4th block, but the 5th. Just please admit that you got this wrong! That you miscounted! It was just infuriating![/quote]

That's suuuuuper frustrating.  I've taken classes where instructors do something hard at the end that they didn't tell you about, but they own it: "I didn't tell you about this, surprise!  Hahaha!"  Fine.  Acknowledge it.  But when they don't, it just makes me think they're too insecure to admit they made a mistake, and that's so irritating.[/quote]
