I don’t think these influencers should be allowed to film in gyms. It’s violating, rude, inconsiderate and disrespectful toward others who pay to be there and use the gym. Especially when they act entitled and get mad someone walks in front of their cameras or uses a machine close by. Like get over yourself.
Some of these women are filming in the locker room. They should be arrested.
It’s so bad at my gym that I no longer get dressed in the locker room.
Joey Swoll should have been interviewed for this.
Definitely! I’m surprised they didn’t include him
Do it after hours with no one around. It’s not all about you!
It's kind of a pain going to the gym and trying to avoid the folks recording themselves. Yet , if they are respectful of others, I'm ok for the most part.
Please fix the audio
Joey Swoll should have been interviewed.
Hello?! NO AUDIO!
What’s with the audio?
All influencers are ruining everything.
Yes, they are! I have been working out for 12 years, and I dislike anyone recording.
your audio on your clips are all over the place, only coming from one speaker since yesterdays clips
This would’ve never happened had CZcams not been monetized. Gone are the days women would just stay in their lanes at the cardio equipment and go home. After they discovered they could make money uploading videos working out like guys have been, it opened Pandora’s box.
I'm so glad I have a home gym.
It’s not just influencers, it’s the people on the phone just sitting there or the people that’s stand around and talk and the hygiene part people with a lot of cologne and perfume.
How is Joey Swoll not part of this story?
the gyms should start enforcing it not just putting a sign that nobody cares or make rules and let them know when signing up
I go to the gym every day and my workout has never been impacted by people making videos. If you're a regular gymgoer, you know the people causing the problems are the ones who get on equipment, do one set, and then sit on their phone for 5-10 minutes, turning what should be a 7-minute routine into a 20-minute one and preventing serious people from using the equipment. If you're only filming yourself at the gym, have at it. If you're filming others or you're filming yourself doing something outrageous to get views (eg that one random woman who went to the gym wearing a painted bodysuit), no.
This has been going on for awhile lots of people have been tired of this ish 😅
Ban camera in gyms.
yes. for the same reason you have to ask for permission from people to use footage of them for something that will gain you benefits, they should have to seek out every single person in their video for permission.
Pet peeves are too many high schoolers hogging machines while scrolling their phones. And since when are slides, crocks, and fluffy Ugg slippers proper workout apparel?
Emily meets her doppelganger 0:50
if you are staying to set up a makeshift studio.. nope.., gots to go.
and zero filming in the locker rooms
These videos look like bragging done by self-serving exhibitionists rather than instructional media. Gyms should be more about folks of varied ages who are aiming to improve their health, not show off.
I’m so happy I mind my own business and that I don’t let what other people do bother me 😊 film away I DON’T CARE
Umm. Its against company policy
Honestly, No tripods and keep your shirt on. I feel like that’s not too much to ask
taking video at the gym....a whole lotta nope, nope, nope and nope
1 no filming in locker rooms 2.Get the other than women humans out of the women’s locker room solves half of the problem.
They are motivating! I have found so much by watching them.
Place to inplug? With tv screens and touch screens everywhere on walls and attached to equipment? What?
It’s fine. We look amazing, and want to help others look incredible. 💪🏽
I mean, I like to record myself to evaluate my postures and document my progress. I have seen some very polite people asking for permission, and more often than not, people will get all jumpy about it as if the video is all about them in the background. Additionally, who likes to be disturbed when they are focused and working out? Some people really don't like to be interrupted, even more so for permission to be in the background of a video. So, it seems to me that in this scenario, it's better to say sorry if anyone complains and change your angle than asking for permission. This ways It's much less likely that anyone will complain and become a bother or a Karen about it.
Bs...!! Do pics at home
