Can I add an additional nickel to that so we have one solid dime?

So true- if you get into a class and the instructor is breathing down your neck because you are doing your own thing, look at them with some skepticism. They should really be happy you're there, training hard, and trying to be as healthy as possible.

I always let people do whatever. If they initially come in and are not doing what I ask, I approach and find out what their objective is for the class. As soon as they say they're doing their own thing, I just thank them for coming regardless and congratulate them for keeping up with their fitness by attending my class and tell them they're welcome to do what they want if they feel like they are needing something else.
