People who annoy you in fitness videos.

Come on, we all have that one person who becomes the object of our disdain as we huff and puff it out in our living rooms to whatever workout you may be doing. Who is it?

I really cannot stand that guy in the yellow shirt in the TurboFire workouts. He's just one of the group of people exercising except he makes it a point to shove his recovery formula water bottle in front of the camera in every. single. break following a fire drill. Don't know why it pisses me off, but it does. Him and the shorter girl next to him in the turquoise sports bra, they seem to do anything to get their annoying faces in camera at every opportunity.


Lol. ^_^ Go on, have a rant!

    There seems to be two girls named "Ariel" in Insanity (or maybe Shaun just calls them both Ariel), but for some reason they both annoy me!! Just the looks on their faces!!

    Also, Tony on P90x is just weird sometimes....

    The girl who does the "harder" version of 30DS (cant remember her name at the mo) but she cheats when she thinks the camera and jillian arent watching and has such a false smile!

    Tony Little, Richard Simmons, and anyone who has barely started to sweat, and says things like, "Wooooo! I'm feelin' great! How about you?"...while I'm barely managing to breathe.

    Natalie, yeah she IS annoying. Jillian Michaels moreso. I think Jillian Michaels is the only instructor I've encountered where I don't like her and I never warm up to her. I didn't care for Chalene in TurboFire at first, but she's okay in my book now.

    I found that confusing. Chances of two Ariels in one workout video? Is Ariel (or one of them at least) that really pale redhead?

    Also in Insanity, the white guy with the cornrows. Every time the camera went to him he was either half-assing the moves or saying something negative. He wasn't mic'd so you couldn't here it, but after doing it every day I came to the conclusion once was "Are you kidding me?" and the other was the F-word.

    My husband and I think he says help in one of his close-ups.

    The one that really annoys me is the one that spits in I think it is the Plyo Circuit workout.

    Tony is hilarious the first couple times you watch the video. Gets old fast.

    fitness videos should have 3-4 recordings per exercise and mix them up randomly so it isn't such a slog. I think BD is capable of this. =)

    Both irritate me to no end. I hate Jillian because she wants you do do whatever workout, tells you to do one more, and its 3 more. Also she tells you to do some exercise, while she is just standing there standing at the camera. Most satisfying moment in 30ds is seeing Jillian actually panting during the rockstar jumps, first time I actually felt like she was doing the workout with me

    I cannot stand Tony! I love P90 but I have to mute it now that I kinda know what to do!! I turn it on and turn on the radio and mute the video.. And as far as the other teachers go.. EVERYONE TALKS TO MUCH! Look, I am working my *kitten* off and can barely breath adn here you trying to carry on a conversation and talk about everything.. and saying you are feeling the burn.. I DO NOT BELIEVE IT FOR ONE MINUTE!! I'm sweating, gasping for air, and about to pass out from the pain.. and you're "feeling the burn" with NO SWEAT and carrying on a converstation with just as much breath as you would have just sitting on the couch!

    I find the blond chick on the Exilharate Zumba DVD extremely annoying.

    I have a few workout DVDs where the instructor says something like "I'm feeling this, so I know you are!" Doesn't that really mean "I'm fit and in shape, so if I'm feeling it, I know your fat *kitten* is REALLY feeling it!"

    Jackie Warner is the first one I can think of who says this, but there are more of them out there, I just can't think of them off the top of my head.

    Pigtails girl in Turbo Jam. Seriously, girl, fasten your hair correctly!

    Chalene when she wobble her head like one of those bobble head dogs. Gives me headache.

    Jillian in Killer buns and thighs. Somebody didn't like the comments on her Facebook page!

    Jillian Michaels. Can't stand to look at her, hear her, anything about her. She's a pompous beyatch who's made a LOT of money off of other people's misery...................

    It's always been Denise Austin for me. It's her voice I guess.

    Denise Austin!!!.....some of the things she says are so stupid and her voice is generally annoying! Also..I love the Leslie Sansone DVD's...but the girl named Kat in some of vids annoys me. Only because you can see she is steadily gaining weight, in each video she looks bigger and bigger....It kind of sends a negative message.

    there's a video from the 80s that my mom used to do call "callanetics". it's sort of pilates-esque. no cardio; you never get your heartrate up. it's mostly a bunch of women but there are two men on there, one of whom is sweating like he just ran a marathon. i never understood how you could sweat so much just by stretching. not sure why that irritates me but it does.

    Natalie! I agree. It bugged me so much. She does not get low in her squats -they are actually higher than the one doing the "modified" easy version!

    My favorite is during workout 2 (I think) when Jillian says "If Natalie can do them, you can do them." I don't think that she meant it to sound that way, but I chuckle every time. Cuz know that girl just wants to hit Jillian in the face right then.

    I hate Drea from P90x....I don't know why, I feel she gives off the "I'm the *kitten* vibe.

    I also can't stand the girl in Insanity that says "I wanna leave" every time I see that part of the workout I cringe.

    The Zumba instructors are very annoying too because they say "Uh hah" way too much!

    Jillian Michaels. She's annoying as hell! But she gives a great workout, so I still do all her DVDs.

    In one of Gilad's Quick-Fit videos there is someone making fun of them in the background.
    The problem is that he is always there, so by the 50th time watching it i want to jump into the vid , grab the guy and punch him.

    Really, . . . they all annoy me. The only way I can get through my workouts is to hurl insults back at the TV.

    Pretty much anyone who has a GIANT smile on their face the entire workout. What are you trying to convey? Do you guys know ANYONE who smiles every second they are working out? I don't. I know when I exercise, it's a lot of grimacing and focused breathing. But SMILING?!!!! Please.
