Re: Monifa presenting exercise equipment

She is not the sharpest host in the studio.  I don't watch her.

Fitness trainer ... does she look like a fitness trainer to you LOL.  It's one thing to present the equipment but if she isn't up to handling the use, that would be a discouragement if I were going to purchase.  And don't tell fibs about your training.


@rms1954 - are you judging Monifa based on her body/size? 👎

 

You're declaring her to be a fraud and lying during a presentation about her certifications? 

Tell us how you know this to be a fact - that she does not have a fitness/training certification.

That is exactly what this poster is doing. Sad

The producer runs the show, and the hosts follow her/his direction.

Re: Monifa presenting exercise equipment

The hosts I've ever seen do any duration on any exercise equipment are Rick and Kerstin.

I am not questioning her fitness training credentials.   Her biography describes her owning such a business.   I just question why, with such qualifications, that she obviously did not think it was important to show how the equipment is useful in training.   It was an obvious teachable moment.   All other hosts demonstrate the fitness equipment they present.    It looked like there was something wrong with it for her to so obviously avoid it.

And, PLEASE, it has nothing to do with her weight!!!!  After all, the QVC model used both equipment and she is a plus sized model.

Re: Monifa presenting exercise equipment

Possibly she has a physical problem and is not allowed to do any type of exercise now. There are many reasons why she could not demonstrate and she did not want to share. As long as someone demonstrates that should be ok.

@NYwoman 

Even if so it's nobody business.

She is host first and foremost. Nobody saw her contract, nobody heard what her producer told her.

If she did something wrong she has bosses to talk to her.Models show equipment. People who really want to buy have enough info. If not so may be buying online not for them.
