[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Or am I just a misanthrope? I realize there are benefits to the instructor seeing me and giving pointers to improve form, etc. but I just prefer to work out by myself and [b]avoid awkward interactions.[/b] It's not even the money. I can and have paid for yoga studio memberships but quit and am so much happier with a Peloton bike and some dumbbells at home. Plus it takes so much less time.[/quote]

What does this look like?  I have never had an awkward interaction at my yoga studio or gym.  Why are you taking a poll?  If it works for you than great!  How I workout or others shouldn't be a concern.  I like interacting in person because if I work out at home there are too many distractions.[/quote]

+1  I don't know why OP wants to reach out to share their opinions on something they've already decided.  Adults have different preferences.  Most people learn that by the time they become adults...or even far earlier.[/quote]

Someone probably said how great classes were or said OP was odd for not liking them and OP wants to confirm she’s not alone in her dislike. [/quote]

OP here. I haven't had anyone pressure me to do in person classes. It's more I have recently become more aware of my social anxiety and realizing how it impacts different aspects of my life. I know I can overcome my anxiety and do the class, but I would rather avoid it. But also I guess besides certain yoga classes (I am not an especially flexible person and not all yoga instructors are welcoming of people like me, whether they are aware of it or not) I also genuinely dislike a lot of fitness classes due to the HIIT trend.

Thanks to those who have joined in the discussion. I just find it interesting to think about my preferences and why I have them.[/quote]

It sounds like you don’t like being pushed out of your comfort zone. That’s exactly why I prefer classes.[/quote]
