The Top 7 Signs Your
Fitness Instructor Is a Musician

7> The creepy towel roadie watching from the corner.

6> All classes start at least a half-hour late, or “whenever” –
whichever comes first.

5> LOTS more pyrotechnics.

4> Same tight spandex, but bigger hair.

3> You’re just starting to make it through aerobicizing to
Mozart, and she’s already moving you up to Rachmaninoff.

2> “You can do better than that! Allegro! Allegro, you lazy
bastard!”

and the Number 1 Sign Your Fitness Instructor Is a Musician…

1> “Hi, I’m Kenny G and I’m going to play one of my many smooth
jazz hits until you give me twenty reps.”
