    Inform management in writing (and not anonymously). Doing so verbally is a good start, but if the manager at your location wants documentation she'll need something in writing.

    You and I have a much different opinion as to what bumping uglies means

    Same here. Visit urbandictionary.com.

    Agreed

    I think she meant bumping and grinding, which would refer to dirty dancing, versus bumping uglies which refers to nekkid cardio with a partner workouts aka the horizontal mambo.

    Let the guys report her if they're offended, they're the ones getting groped. Just switch instructors if you can or maybe even switch to a different studio if nothing else fits your schedule. If the place where she is instructing hasn't noticed that she's a problem yet then there's a good chance you'll have problems with their other instructors also.

    Tell the General Manager. That's not appropriate behavior. The instructors usually are not employees and usually only do a class or two there a day...but may rotate to other gyms on different days...but this should definitely be brought to the attention of the manager...as I know when my friend was a GM at 24, they had high school kids in the gym frequently and in my gym I see some parents that work out with their older children.

    Report it to a manager. If she's not doing her job then she needs to get fired. I'd also talk to the other members of the class and have them do the same. The more reports they get the more of a problem it will be and they can't ignore it.

    This. It's not like there aren't thousands of Zumba instructors in the world - shouldn't be difficult for them to find a great one who actually wants to *teach* the class.

    Many people are saying to take another class and most are saying to report this instructor to the management.

    I think someone needs to talk to this instructor personally as well. She may not think she's doing anything wrong at all, some people are truly that ignorant, we've all met them, right?

    If you get a chance, talk to her privately before going to management. Let her know that you think her actions are inappropriate. I mean, lots of people bring their older kids with to classes these days and ask her what she'd think if a 12 yr old child witnessed her bump and grind. Remind her that it isn't professional either and that you don't pay for 45 min of Zumba, you pay for an HOUR of Zumba.

    If she gets miffed, thats her problem, not yours. At least you are giving her a chance to redeem some professionalism before going to management.

    Just my 2 cents.

    I would say something to staff. That's really inappropriate, and you're not paying to see a live sex show, you want a workout!

    agree

    ugh, that would annoy me too! I'd definitely switch classes ... and if you can tell you aren't the only one made uncomfortable by it, let the management know why you don't think that class will work for you.

    Where is this terrible, awful zumba class! I would hate to have a really fit woman grinding against me! That's just terrible! I'd like to go there and see this debauchery for myself! No seriously, where is it.

    Complain to the management. It isn't what you are paying for, and it's completely unprofessional and uncalled for. You shouldn't have to switch classes to something less convenient to avoid her inappropriate behavior.
