Bumping Uglies during Zumba...

Fnarkk · October 2012

Yeah, bumping uglies must mean very different things 'twixt us. By the way, don't film unless you have permission to film her. That is against the law in many states. However, DO switch classes and give this as the reason. Some places don't really care unless they are loosing buisness; there is a chance the instructor could say they were only helping the person with some of the moves. I worked at a gymnastics workshop and someone (who I despised) was reported for something similiar. Luckily for them I was there and was able to back up the instructor. SOMETIMES contact is part of instruction. This by no means, means you should not report something if you find it inappropriate.

(Edited because my darn keyboard sticks and I had to fiiiiiiix some issues.)

Oh noes...Where is this zumba class? I want to experience this horror for myself.

This thread is not what I thought it would be.

I'm offended. I've been going to my class for over 1 year now and there's never been bumping or grinding of any kind!

:laugh:

This thread has left me disappointed.

The male responses on this thread are not typical of all males thankfully.

Are you a tight enough class for you women to speak to the men in the class. It is a bit lame of them to allow this behaviour to continue, not to mention embarrassing. Perhaps if she is told to back of by a few males she will wind her neck in?

1.) Sounds like my kinda class!

2.) Give feedback... Maybe she thought she was doing a good job. Also don't assume. Instead of primping in front of the mirror, maybe she was really nervous?
3.) If it really bothers you, complain to management.

I would definitely complain to management and if there are a few of you who approach management together..the better! It's very unprofessional! You pay fees for a quality class..not watching inappropriate behavior!

Video tape it, and post it on the internet for money. =D

I've been thinking of giving Zumba a try. Where can I say up???

Thanks for your guidance - I didn't want to get her in trouble since it is her job - but at the same time - I don't want to have to spend another 15 minutes in the gym just to get the workout I should have gotten in an hour without the floor show.

It is NOT her job to rub on the men in class - it is her job to teach Zumba.

report her. do not talk to her. go straight to manager ore staff and let them know. they will come and watch. if she still does it while they watch then let it roll... they will take care of it.

it's a zumba dance/exercise/just move it class not a dirty dancing floor show. :P

Isn't that kind of the point of Zumba? To do sexy things while sweating and revving your heart rate? Wait. I have never seen a man in a Zumba class.

This is of course every guy's fantasy -- until it is real. Some years ago a 40-ish woman I liked (as a witty person) would come up behind me while I was at my desk and suddenly give me an un-requested neck massage and ask, purring, "How's your love life?" (She knew I was married.) It creeped me out. I wanted to gag. She had no authority over me but nonetheless I was polite and didn't want to hurt her feelings. Luckily both of us left that job before long.

I think most guys won't protest (it looks weak if they do) but they don't like it either.

The upshot -- I doubt this primping, "bumping" lady will last long. No one likes it.

As well as me.

We always have men in our classes. We even have men instructors!

You simply find a new class.

*Sill scratching my head that she needed to ask what to do here*

So there is an instructor at 24hr fitness who I had the unfortunate luck to run into twice this week who insists on grinding with every young guy in the Zumba class. First - there are not many guys in the class to begin with, and the women there really want to get a good workout in. But this instructor gets off track and starts her own little party in the class and we are all just standing there or jogging in place until she gets back on track after having her little thing with the guy on the dance floor.

This instructor was annoying enough to begin with after I saw her primping before class for more than 30 minutes! No kidding - I went in to the locker room and she was primping, I went out and swam laps, came back - still in front of the mirror! I thought she was lame then...but now she is just totally annoying and inappropriate.

I wanted to scream out "Get a Room AFTER My Class!" It was such a bad workout I had to hop on the treadmill afterwards to feel like I got a good workout in.
Maybe it is because she has low self-esteem or maybe it is because she is getting up there in years and doesnt care anymore what she does...all I know is that I am sick of her acting inappropriately in Zumba! What do I do?

you quit the class and talk to the owner

NO! That would take common sense!

Get the email address of the group X coordinator and let them know the teacher sucks. Or just email corporate. I have never had a bad teacher at 24 hour fitness, although there is one that gets on my nerves, she still gives a decent workout.
