Got off my bike for the first time to correct someone's form

[Jennifer]

OMG y'all! (sorry, channeling Britney there for a sec...)

This woman was...contraindication in motion...a thing of contraindicative beauty to behold. She should have had a big circle with a slash over her.

You know how it goes. The group-wide form reminders specifically tailored to the individuals errors (if you can think of it, she was doing it). The complimenting of others' form. The direct eye-contact and pointing out of different aspects of my own form (shaddap).

Finally, a first for me, I got off of my bike. I simply couldn't tolerate it anymore. Very quietly, I gave specific corrections with the reasons behind them.

Her response? "I've taken lots of spinning classes!"

Jennifer you "stayed true to yourself" (AC hates it when I say that--LOL!) and did what you believed was the correct action (and indeed it was).

So what happened? She didn't get it. Oh well. At least you tried and you are a good instructor for trying to keep your class safe and effective. As for her, well, let her go. Nothing more you can do (and her response was typical!).

[AC]

YOU are supposed to correct them. THEY have the option of listening.

Sounds like another "unreachable". Her loss if she doesn't want to learn and she has probably taken a lot of Spinning wanna-be classes where the instructor hasn't a clue about proper form.

Or you could say " I'm surprise no one picked up on correcting your form in all those spin classes"
