I do peloton tread for running and think Mariana Fernandez is more low key/not overdone. I also like Robyn.

The London instructors—Jocelyn, Hannah F and Susie—don’t wear noticeable makeup.

Who cares? I love Tunde and Katie for strength, Denis for cycling and Jermaine for strength. They pass the vibe check and have good music for my workouts.

Agreed, I like these two.

I admit I don’t like it when makeup is noticeable— even lipstick— on a trainer but ymmv.

I love Mayla, Leanne, Hannah Frankson and Emma - they are generally pretty low key on the makeup.

Do they ALL get botox and plastic surgery?

I don't think a single one of them doesn't do botox. Smoky eye to a weight lifting class, what?

Well, you ARE being "nasty."

I don't want to work out with people who don't wear makeup or use botox. How about that?

Anna Greenberg, Christine, and Tunde don't usually wear a lot of noticeable makeup (barring Halloween rides or something).

OP said she prefers to work out with the women, pretty common

I like Emma and Robyn. Jen and Christine look more down to earth but they aren’t among my favorites.

I like Emma, and she doesn’t look like the stereotype you’ve described. Check her out!

I think they look fine but I also don't care because their workouts are really helpful for me. They are basically going on TV every time they teach a class so I get why they don't look like I look when I go to an exercise class.

Try Christine. I do think he make-up has gotten heavier over the past couple years. For me its the blowout hair that looks fake.
