Lack of professionalism

Gym log.

Anyone who is a regular or has attended Body Combat will know or SHOULD know that it is not a real martial art class, or as one instructor puts it..."it's just pretend fights". Body Combat is a combination of several martial art movements incorporated into a cardio exercise. Therefore, it should not be a question of how high you can kick or how high you can jump. Instead members should concentrate on the proper techniques.

Yesterday's BCombat class was packed....more than usual. There was barely enough floor space in between members to do proper side kicks. In situations like this, members will have to compromise and make do with smaller or lower kicks. But that is not the case with a member in class yesterday...a member who is also a PT (Personal Trainer) from the gym. I was stunned (more like jaw dropped) to see this blardy "I think I'm macho" PT doing hard high kicks admist a crowded class...giving no consideration at all to the people around him, despite being tactfully "warned" by the instructor. Being a PT, he should know that safety comes first in any exercises....but noooo....this idiot was doing full fledge high front, side, and back kicks. Not only that....he was also taking up lots of floor space with his antics. The poor girl next to him had to stand still throughout most of the class for fear of being kicked or punched by this "I think I'm macho" PT....plus he took up her floor space that she barely could do anything. He was obviously aware of this but didn't give a hoot about it. What a selfish jerk!

He even gave her this stare like "you cannot follow the class ah"? OMG. Not sure if he himself has attended BCombat before but I can see that he looked lost and at times he was doing his own thing.

I am still in disbelief at what I had witnessed last nite. A personal trainer who shows no professionalism and obviously was clueless about safety.
