Crunch Fitness recently took over my Gold's Gym and this was the first group exercise class I've taken from a Crunch instructor. I must say, it was quite disappointing. She didn't introduce herself, nor do a warm-up. There was no plan or structure to the class. The Gold's instructors always tell us what the workout is going to be (ie hills with some flat speed intervals, etc). And I could barely hear her weak attempts at instruction because the (bad) music was blaring so loudly. The only thing I could make out was an RPM number we should be at. It was so confusing. It was like she was having a workout alone.

On a personal note, my leg hurt whenever we stood up on the Spin bike to climb. Very disheartening. But after the class, I did some leg strengthening exercises which ease the pain quite a bit.
