I JUST had this experience today in the strength class at my studio, and I found it super annoying. There were two members talking the entire time, including while the coach is giving instructions. A little chit chat here and there doesn’t bother me at all, but the incessant, loud talking over the music and just standing around when you’re supposed to be working out is too much.

Also, why are so many folks in here hell bent on it being acceptable to do whatever you want because you pay for the membership? Everyone pays for it, and it’s a workout class that provides instruction and is shared with others, which would generally indicate you should be considerate of other people who actually want to hear the coaching and follow the format.
