PEOPLE this is a spin CLASS!

Static Stats:
Running: 40 min.- slow
Sugar Consumption: dangerously low
Weight: unmentionable

Let's start with yesterday's rant...I mean news. I once again did not run due to my annoying back issues. However my rant isn't about running its about spin class. I agreed to sub a spin class yesterday. I instantly was reminded of why I hate teaching spin. First off no one in class ever pays attention, women are chatting as if they are high school students in gym class and no one responds when you ask questions. I don't expect a verbal response, just raise your head up and acknowledge that I am speaking. How a room full of 25 people can be so unresponsive is beyond my comprehension. I admit by 7:00pm on a day that started at 5:00am, I'm not in the best of moods however I'm giving it my best effort to be the perky energetic instructor they expect to see. The high point of class was when a woman comes barging into class at 7:25. Yes, 25 minutes past the start. Lucky her there happened to be one vacant bike in the back row.:) I get off my bike to politely and quietly approach her to let her know that she can't come into class at that time. In classic arrogant class goer style she ignored me. I can almost understand ignoring me when I'm talking to the whole group but, when I am standing in front of your bike....now come on! When she finally acknowledged me she stated that she wasn't there to take class, but to do her own workout. PEOPLE, this is a spin CLASS!!!! What part of class don't you understand? I had no other choice then to kick her out of class. She complained, she somewhat demanded to stay but not on my time woman...your OUT!
