An instructor that is not enthusiastic will squash intrinsic motivation and the likely extrinsic motivation for the resuting non engaged students will be the time at which the class ends and they can leave. The instructors enthusiasm on the subject motivates the student through engagement and instilling the desire to gain a deeper understanding of the subject matter.

@sgoodenough : I often work from home and found that I frequently delay and/or postpone exercising even though I know I should be doing it and how it can reduce stress. I decided to find another way. Since I have two sets of stairs in my house I make it a point to go up and down the stairs 10 times 3 times during the day. Between that and meditation I feel better, sleep better and I'm told I have a better attitude. :-)
