NEVER TAKE A CLASS HERE WITH BILL STANLEY!



Horrible expereince..



I recently moved to this area and was looking forward to being active and present in the community education program here in Isanti. After signing up and attending my first kickboxing class with Bill Stanley, I left feeling unsatisfied and upset. I have taken numerous fitness classes in my life and have never had a less than amazing experience, except for this one.



Working in the medical field, I am aware that each individual has different needs, abilities, goals and so forth. I am used to an instructor starting the class with “Please work at your own comfort level and don’t do anything that feels like it would hurt..” The sense of safety was lacking from the class and this just set the tone for the rest of the hour. After stating to the instructor, “this move hurts my ankles, is there a different motion that I can try” I was answered with a short, unhelpful answer and advised to “KEEP WORKING HARDER AND FASTER AND WITH MORE POWER!” I am fully aware of the class that I signed up to take and fully aware that this is a kick boxing class which “you give all that you got” but I was left embarrassed and uncomfortable. This was my first time ever trying kickboxing and after a few minutes of these unorganized instructions and drills, we were left to learn on our own. We were also told, mid-class, that we were to buy our own gloves, which was never mentioned anywhere in the registration form for what to bring or additional costs. This would have been nice to know before starting the class.



I called Bill and told him how I felt and was looking forward to either some of my money back or an offering for a different fitness class through Dance Dynamics or the Isanti Community Center but was given a cold and rude response of, “there is nothing I can do for you and if I gave money back to all my students, I would not have a business.” Are there that many people who are unsatisfied with this instructor? It was nothing against kickboxing and I am looking forward to trying kickboxing at a different facility through a different program.
