I experienced an hour of WTF moments at 24 hour fitness today. It was my first group exercise class. Getting back in the groove. Body Pump here I come!
What I saw for the next hour was a full on freak show. From the jackass skipping (literally) around the room in an exaggerated fashion (warm up?) to the young lady to my left wearing ear plugs...I'm thinking WTF? Once the music started I better understood the ear plugs. Class started with an edgy techno number. I'm not a big fan of techno music. It has its time and place. With the time being 2:30am and the place being a cheesy bar with college boys humping their neighbor. Now, layer over the techno the instructor yelling into her headset, "We're goin' in!". WTF moment #1
The next song was a hip hop number. This gem sounded like it was written by Mindy Elliot, Missy Elliot's twin sister who at a young age was adopted by two white professors. Mindy likely acquired her dope rhyming skills at a weekend church retreat. WTF moment #2
The next, my favorite, is a cover of Eye of the Tiger. WHY would anyone COVER this song? Just play the original. It's not hard. Just record over your shitty cover and press play. Please. WTF moment #3
Next best moment was when Blue Steel girl accidentally bumped earplug girl with her barbell. Earplug girl had mini hissy. Blue Steel girl was completely oblivious and quickly returned to her glamour shot practice.
Class was saved with abs and Adele.
Why do gym exercise class instructors have such shitty taste in music? It's an epidemic.
