Hope everything works out for you. You sound like a great instructor. Good luck!
Same here. I work out at another gym & just show up to teach at this gym. Glad to hear somebody else does the same thing. I don't take other instructor's classes at this gym either.

One thing I will do - though - is when students ask me why I don't do contraindicated moves - like hovering, push ups, etc., I explain how these moves can cause injury. I don't diss the instructor, in fact, I am always careful to interject "we all teach differently." It may get back to the instructor but I don't care. I'm there for the students, not to win a gym popularity contest.
