on Fit TV?...I happened to catch her show as she was doing some step intervals and I could just be used to Cathe, but she looks like she could hurt herself...seriously! I finally found Cathe's program, whcih is why I had Fit Tv on. I get her at 6AM in Direct TV.....:)...Carole
 
I have Fit Tv on all the time. My daughter is the one that commented on Sharon Mann. She said she exaggerates her moves way to much! She liked Cathe better. I have never tried one of Sharons workouts though.

What's even scarier is that there is a background exerciser who is even more spastic and hyper than Sharon! She scares me!

I think the workouts wouldn't be half bad if some restraint was shown and some attention to form was given.
 
You are so right... I was watching that background girl last week and she was really getting on my nerves, I thought she was going to explode and go throught the ceiling, I bet she was an overachiever in school. On the other hand I think Sharon Mann is very high energy and that's just her way, some people like that.
 
For some reason I find her extremely annoying! That style just not appealing to me at all. I sort of like Gilad, I like Karen Voight, I can stand Firm, but Sharon just gets under my skin!
 
I really like Sharon Mann. I taped 2 shows back to back (an interval one and a bootcamp)It's a great 40 minute cardio workout. I love her energy! It takes a lot for an instructor to annoy me. I can easily move past that if the workout is good.
 
I am so sorry to say this to all who like her, but she annoys me!!! I don't know why. I like carribean workouts and Gilad and Love Cathe's spot!!
 
I really enjoy Cathe, Gilad and the Caribbean Workout (those led by Shelly! and that have Joanna in them! They're fun!)... but Sharon Mann is overly LOUD and the music is always clangy or seems to have loud cymbals and she has to shout over it. She has some neat moves here and there (ball workouts, etc.) but I have never been motivated to try one of her workouts...

Yet I will tape Gilad or Shelly and do one of theirs... (especially Shelly's interval step workouts with the step set perpendicular to you... kind of like having the new mini step). (And I own almost every Cathe tape, so taping isn't necessary!) I'm hoping Cathe's new mini step workouts are like Caribbean workout's interval step ones... then again, I wish Shelly would make a couple of videos! She is fun!

Sharon isn't for everyone. Kind of like Denise Austin. I enjoy Denise even though she sometimes talks too much, I mean, I think Denise means well... and she has been the reason some people have even tried to exercise... but Sharon... sheesh! I will let FitTV run for hours on end for background noise, but shut it off when she starts up. I really think it has something to do with the music and the volume of her mic and - like somebody else mentioned above - the overly exaggerated movements she and the other lady do are kind of scary!
 
Thanks for all your replys. I am glad it wasn't just me! I know we all have our preferences on who we like and for what reasons. I was not ever a Denise Austin fan as her voice got under my skin, but she does have some good workouts. I have a Gilad tape (before Cathe) and haven't looked at Shelly's workouts. I do like Cathe being on Fit TV and I'll just avoid Sharon, I think her form might be a bit dangerous especially for a beginner...:(....Carole
 
I think Sharon Mann's program has a lot of interesting variety (I've never watched an entire program, but seen bits and pieces of several), and she's not so hyper I can't stand her, but the background exerciser you're talking about (Sharyn, also referred to as "Sparky" in Sharon's "Fit Tip" segments--kind of have to wonder about a grown woman with the nickname of "Sparky) almost literally throws herself into many workouts with such agression, I think she'll dislocate a shoulder doing kickboxing punches or blast out her knees doing jump rope segments. She also looks rather uncoordinated, and the combo of overly exaggerated moves and awkwardness really turns me off.
 
Oh wow!! I'm so glad there's other people who feel the same way about Sharon Mann. I made the mistake of actually purchasing her DVD "The Works Body Sculpting." It's so awful!!x( :-( Really it's just segments from her show which I had never seen before pieced together. Such a waste of money. I pull it out every now and then as an add on to a workout (or a good laugh) Sparky the "advanced exerciser", looks as if she's having a seizure. Seriously if anyone was really trying to follow her they might hurt themselves:).
