US EditionAsking Eric: Exercise Class’s Loud Talker Acts Like a Child After She’s Told to Pipe Down
A participant's loud counting and singing twice weekly disrupts fitness classes despite polite requests to reduce volume, affecting others during balancing exercises.
- During regular group classes, a woman participant continues loudly counting and singing, even after being asked to lower her volume, and now yells 'Did you miss me?' when attending sporadically.
- The narrator, a recently retired regular, values her morning routine and group exercise classes, and diplomatically approached the loud participant who appears to believe she is entertaining the class by counting and singing; an advice reply called that communication fair.
- She does it during every class twice a week, and several other class participants say the loud participant’s counting distracts them, especially during balancing exercises.
- With multiple attendees unhappy, the advice reply noted the complainant communicated fairly and recommended involving the gym instructor, as staff may need to address behavior not explicitly breaking rules.
- If unresolved, instructors may need to intervene as regular class attendees' enjoyment suffers, and participants are urged to involve the instructor or gym staff to resolve the disruption.
