Some women in my plyo pump class have deemed it acceptable to bring their babies to class. I normally don't care. They stick to the back of the room. I stick to the front. Today, however, during in an especially excruciating set of squats, the instructor was just so amused by one of the babies in the back who was imitating its mom, that every time we squatted she would point and yell, "Look at the baby! Look at the baby! Isn't that so cute!" Needless to say, it had me thinking more of my busted ovaries than my gluteus maximus. It just sucks that I can't get away from infertility at the very place I go to clear my mind and do something good for my body. Ugh.

Um, that's ridiculous. I would totally complain about babies being in class at my gym. Luckily, our gym has daycare and I don't think it'd ever be an issue, but for the poster above, I'd be a tattlin'. ;)
ReplyDeleteI think that merits a complaint, why not give them a call and explain how it makes you feel? The instructor is there to do her job and focus on her clients, not fawn over someone's baby.
ReplyDeletethat is utterly ridiculous, totally unacceptable! I'd complain.
ReplyDeleteI agree - gym classes are no place for your children. In my opinion it's completely unprofessional when the teacher is doing that, I'd be talking to the front desk about it.
ReplyDeleteThat is completely inappropriate to bring a baby to a gym class! Even more so for the instructor to be distracted by them. What if they got hurt? I'm sure the gym would be facing a lawsuit then. I think you should complain. You're a paying member - the babies are not.
ReplyDeleteYup - completely uncalled for and rude. Unfortunately, I have the same thing happen in what should be a very peaceful and reflective place - church.
ReplyDeleteAgreed - that is ridiculous. And I thought having to listen to the instructor fawn over the pregnant lady for the entire yoga class was bad... :X
