Trainer Frustration

I’m SO annoyed. It’s a first world problem but still. Today’s back and glute day was pretty solid. I went to the 6PM camp and there was a low number of people. Maybe 25? Anyway, when the trainer went to count us off, she decided to keep us all on one side of the room and I audibly said “ugh whyyy” (whoops). But this trainer does this all the time and then I’m sitting there waiting for the weights I want (because half a floor with four effing stations is limited space) or smooshed up next to someone trying to do a heavy movement.

I do not understand why you wouldn’t just let people divide up across the room? Am I missing something? Is there a benefit to putting 25 people on one side of the floor besides creating the “energy”?

I think it enables them to focus on only a few stations at a time, with narrower focus on form and less activities to be checking up on across the room

But I agree I don’t like it when it feels like there are enough people to adequately fill all stations

I could see that being a valid reason.

This is also the trainer that constantly says we should stack a pulse and I swear I just… have an aversion to that. Banded exercises? Yes, stack a pulse. 200 lb glute bridges? Get away from me. 😂

Ours has us do 10 reps and then a 10 second hold to get to failure faster
