[QUOTE=Kimred]I'm one of those annoying people who follow a training plan and need to keep my HR in certain zones so I hardly ever follow the instructor I'm usually there for change of scenory, see friends and listen to music. I also train longer than spin classes so I’m there before the class even starts. The instructors know this about me and leave me alone its nothing personal. I will say I cannot STAND it when they talk too much, it's incredibly annoying.

I can see why you would find a "talkative" instructor annoying since you're there to follow your own program, but for us "newbies" it's necessary, and some of the "oldies" like it too I gather. So here's a suggestion: Bring your own music (mp3 player on your arm) and a noise-blocking headset. That's what I do on planes. It works.
