1 /5 Félix Colón: Aqua Fit classes used to be excellent workouts mostly because of highly motivated instructors that ensured they gave their best to provide a good workout. Unfortunately, good instructors are leaving because they get paid better at other fitness centers. Nowadays, good instructors are not even showing up to their assigned classes and instead the majority of classes are taught by mediocre substitutes. Actually, the majority of Aqua Fit instructors are mediocre and do the bare minimum. A new trend is also to start the class late and leave early giving us from 30-45 minutes of class. Instructors get paid $25 per class, no matter the size of the class. Other fitness centers pay at a rate of $10 or more per class. I have never seen someone checking that the instructors are teaching Aqua Fit based on the description “…a challenging,50-minute water-based workout for all fitness levels, providing strength and cardio…” therefore, low pay and lack of accountability are the reasons why we are getting such mediocre classes and instructors. I have three LA Fitness within a four-mile radius and this week I don’t have a single class to attend because of the lousy instructors. A group of us have moved on and are attending classes at Fitness Connect. I have sent messages to corporate and have yet to see any changes, on the contrary, it has gotten worse.
Suggest looking into Fitness Connect, YMCA, Gold’s Gym, and many other fitness centers in the area.
