Ever attend the same group fitness class, at the same local gym, but with different gendered instructors? A Total Body class instructed by a girl may not be quite the same as a Total Body class instructed by guy. I’m not talking about how the girl has a matching cute water bottle to match her bright outfit, and the guy has a not so bright outfit with a not so matching water bottle.
Well, if you’ve only been instructed by a guy or only by a girl… Let me share with you some differences.
1.Communication
Girl: “How is everyone doing?” “Can you hear me okay?” “Scream if you’re feeling good!” “Come on now, I only heard three of you scream!” “I said scream if you are feeling good!!”
Guy: “Everything you got – only 3 more minutes!!”
2. The Music Selection
Girl: 90’s music is their specialty, but also all the latest Rihanna, Beyonce, Usher, Pitbull, and Kesha songs
Guy: Old school rock, Jock Jams, Lincoln Park
3. Exercises
Girl: squats, squats with dumbbells, bicep curl with dumbbells, crunches, crunches on your side, planks, side planks, sit-ups, sit ups with a bar, Russian twist with med ball
Guy: jump rope, bear crawl, push-ups on the Bosu ball, push-ups off the Bosu ball, burpees with a push up, hold a plank for a minute and then 10 pushups
4. Water Breaks
Girl: “If there ever comes a time and you need to get water, be sure to grab some!”
Guy: “Oh yeah, grab some water if you need some!”
5. Closing statement to the class
Girl: “You all did such an amazing job, please take your time getting up, talk amongst yourselves if you’d like, also, please let me know if there is anything you liked or didn’t like!”
Guy:“Great job! I’ll be teaching boot camp class this Wednesday ”
6. Cool Down
Girl: exactly the last five/ten minutes, john mayor music, turn lights off
Guy: “Wow, looks like we ran out of time, let’s do a few quick stretches”

Looks like there are more exercise types for the female instructor which is a plus. Nevertheless, the cool down was best by the male instructor; instead of just sitting in the dark and listening to music:)
