believe what you will. there is NO one who is wearing calf boots and street cred tee shirts to a regular bodystep class...if you wanna dress up for launches and etc that is cool ..knock yourself out. my point is that they wear this stuff on the vids and its nothing really that a regular member is gonna be wearing to a typical class...and more to the point it is nothing at all like what a typical instructor is gonna be wearing at all either for that matter. Now if those on the presenter level want to be in a whole different world from the rest then so be it....yet if they wanna wear that stuff then make it available to ALL the instructors not just the special group of presenters/trainers was my point.
===============
for the boots . . you're right , no one really who just "works out" are gonna buy those boots to work out. But, my class gets a kick out of the instructors wearing it . .they think its fun & sexy . . it opens conversations as well. So it does serve its purpose . I love them because they are comfortable & they look totally hot and my class likes because they think its fun . .
I'm what you would call a typical instructor and i would wear what they wore when teaching a regular class. One for the perks for me of teaching is i get to wear things i wouldn't normally wear if i was working out. And i take full advantage of it . . now if i was only "taking" a class, then yes i wouldn't wear the gear. As an instructor, i want to stand out, not only in form & fitness but in the look as well.
As for the clothes they are wearing in the DVD .. . . they are available to us . As Mops said, those are Nike items so we as instructors can buy them . . we , as a grp in my gym, decided not buy the outfits and just took inspiration from the DVD & went for what the "feel" of the release. . . thank goodness for Target.
Now, if they launched/ wore something that is "branded" ( like what they launched with a few release back , Moko shirts/ tops) and was not made available to regular instructors then i see your point . . i would like to be able to have the option of wearing what they wore.
Our gym does not allow us to teach without branded clothes . .our only exceptions are launches and even then we try to get at least our shirts printed or embroidered with a LM Logo on it.
I am eagerly awaiting new branded clothes though because BP Master Class team has been pretty much been wearing the same ol' stuff from when they launched the clothing line . . :D
