when i sub the weekend step classes there are a couple of people that do that. they don't think they are getting enough of a workout by following the class so they do their own thing. i really don't care when they do that when i'm teaching because they are usually toward the back of the room, but when i'm taking a
This is the hard part of the job. Whether you like it or not you have a reponsibility to ask this woman to move to the back. I think every instructor gets someone like this at some point and you can't kick them out but if they're up front where they're distracting both you and part of the class they need to be asked to move to where they're less noticable. The distraction she's creating is a safety issue. Just say something like, "I notice you like to be creative in class, unfortunately it can be distracting for some of the other participants which I'm worried might lead to someone getting injured. Could I bother you to move to the back so this isn't an issue? Thanks, it really is appreciated. {{{big smile}}}" One of three things will happen: she'll move & keep doing her own thing but out of the way; she'll start following the class; or she'll leave.
Good luck and take care.
LOL!
Thanks!
