I know I'm going to get flamed for this, but my first thought regarding Nic Name's post is that I don't think I would want her as my regular instructor. I watch an instructor for how to properly do moves etc, as well as admire her body as inspiration for me to work hard. I do not think I would enjoy watching her work out, nor would her physical appearance inspire me. Maybe her personality makes up for this. I have not taken a class lead by this woman nor do I know how physically fit she is. If I did, I would possibly have a different opinion.
She has just as much right to work in whatever job she pleases as anyone. She would likely be great inspiration for those who are technically overweight and find superfit women to be annoying. If she can do her job properly, and her classes are full, she deserves her position.
For the record, too thin people working out are in fact painful to watch as well. I regularly see a severly underweight woman running on my route. I'm always waiting for her legs to snap in half at the knee. Blech.
