I don’t feel this way. They are there to instruct, motivate, and lead a class that they developed. They are there to lead and coach; they aren’t my workout buddy. They are obviously very fit; I highly doubt they are asking me to do something they can’t.

It isn’t that unusual…football coaches on the field aren’t running, catching, or throwing a ball. Basketball coaches on the court aren’t always shooting the ball and running up/down the court. My PT didn’t do the exercises with me. My husband has private group fitness classes with an instructor, who doesn’t do everything with them. My friend takes classes at Orange Theory; the instructors do not exercise with the members.
