Instructor evaluations

[#1]

I have been attending the group x spin classes for quite some time now.  I definitely see a trend in the classes that are full and those that are not.  It seems like each gym should take the time to evaluate what members actually like about the class and the instructor.  There are instructors that offer a great workout but the music is so AWFUL it is hard to make it through the class without staring at the clock and wishing someone would stab you in the leg so you could be done! 

Working out should be fun and group X of any kind is no exception.  If the music is terrible it makes a huge difference. 

In addition each instructor should inquire if there is anyone new to the class each time they come in unless they know everyone in the class so that new people are able to be introduced to the equipment and overall class structure.

I personally LOVE this idea. I'll share it with our Group X folks but lets see what the rest of the Community thinks.

I believe instructor evaluations are required (correct me if I'm wrong).

Members MAY be intimidated to share if they are new to the class and may get scared off. I don't think it's a good idea to do this. Instructors SHOULD discuss basics each class anyway.

I think instructor evaluations are a great idea. Or at least some place to address any issues with a class. I have personally wanted to complain about my Body Pump instructor, but don't know how/where to do this.

i think every teacher has good and bad points. you just gotta try them out to see who you lke. reviews on teachers would be helpful for finding a good class but i think it would still be hard to find a teacher that you like based on what someone else things. couldn't hurt tho!
