As a user of RateMyFitnessInstructor.com, you agree and accept the terms and conditions of the site. This site is a resource for gym members to provide and receive feedback on the gym's fitness instructors that train them through group fitness classes or personal trainerson a 1-on-1 basis. Comments and ratings should only be posted by gym members who have taken a class from the instructor. Please limit one comment per person per class.
The following guidelines are intended to protect all users and instructors. Please review before posting on RateMyFitnessInstructor.com
DO:
- Be honest.
- Be objective in your assessment of the instructor.
- Limit your comments to the instructor's professional abilities. Do not get too personal.
- Proof read your comments before submitting. Poor spelling will not cause your rating to be removed; however, poor spelling may result in your rating being discredited by those who read it.
- Do not place your name, initials, email address, or any personal information in your posting.
- Negative comments that still offer constructive criticism are useful, however comments that bash an instructor on a personal level are not.
- Submit helpful comments that mention the instructor's ability to teach their fitness class, how much fun the class is, the level of the class, how much variation there is from class to class, and other factors you may think would be helpful for other people to know when they're deciding on a class to attend.
DO NOT:
- State something as a fact if it is only your opinion.
- Post a rating if you have not taken a class that the instructor teaches.
- Post ratings for instructors who do not teach classes at the specified gym.
- Input false class names for ones that do not exist.
- Rate an instructor more than once for the same class.
- Make references to other comments posted.
- If you are an instructor, do not rate yourself or other people you work with.
Comments will be deemed inappropriate that are indecent, vulgar, obscene, pornographic, sexually explicit
or sexually suggestive, racially, culturally, or ethnically offensive, harmful, harassing, intimidating, threatening, hateful,
objectionable, discriminatory, or abusive, or which may seem to impersonate anyone else.
Comments that contain the following will be deleted:
- Profanity, name-calling, vulgarity or sexually explicit in nature.
- Derogatory remarks about the instructor's religion, ethnicity or race, physical appearance, mental and physical disabilities.
- Claims that the instructor has been or will be fired, suspended from their job, on probation, etc.
- Claims that the instructor engages or has previously engaged in illegal activities.
- Includes a link or URL to a webpage or website that does not directly pertain to the fitness class.
- Any personal information including contact info that allows someone to identify a user/gym member.
- Any information about the instructor that is not available on the gym's website and allows someone to contact them outside of class.
- Accusations that the instructor is rating themselves or other instructors.
Postings not abiding by these rating guidelines either result in the comment being removed, or
the entire rating being deleted. If you see a rating that you believe violates rating guidelines, please click the red circle to the right
of the smiley and state the problem. It will be evaluated by a Rate My Fitness Instructor moderator.
Please do not flag an entry just because you disagree with it.
Comments that contain a threat of violence against someone or any remark that could be seen as intimidating or intends to harm someone will be deleted. Rate My Fitness Instructor will notify the authorities of your IP address and the time you rated. This is enough information for them to identify you. IP addresses will also be turned over to the authorities when presented with a court order from a government agency or court.
Multiple Ratings
Multiple ratings or comments from the same IP in a short amount of time will be deleted. Please give only one comment per person per class.
