Examples of instructor in a Sentence

    You had to go out with an instructor for an orientation lap and when he told me if something failed as I was braking at the end of the straight that’d I’d end up in the fence that was the last time I did that.

  4. Blogilates Cassey Ho:

    As a fitness instructor and online personality, people expect me to look a certain way. So when I take a selfie and people see that my butt isn’t huge and I don’t have a defined six-pack, they think there’s something wrong with me, the thing is—my physical appearance alone does not dictate how strong I am nor does it say anything about how good of a trainer I am. It’s frustrating when people try to align your worth by your looks.

  5. Annie Mulgrew:

    Just like my clients, I oftentimes need to be told what to do when it comes to my exercise routine, i'll take a class at my studio or another studio with an instructor friend.
