People giving out about recording in gyms as if context doesn't matter. Checking your form is good practice and part of going to the gym.
It is also a private business that others pay to use. Their right to privacy outweighs your right to film.
Mmm that argument would carry more weight if the video didn't start with her instagram handle. Recording videos to improve your form doesn't need to be shared with the public at large. While I think he was unnecessarily aggressive and threatening about it, I don't think it's unreasonable to ask people to stop filming when you're trying to work out.
How many times have you seen an influencer zoom in on a background character supposedly checking her out, or making a stupid face, or using the equipment wrong? I don't want to be in the background of anyone's videos, either.
Of course, don't threaten people. That's not OK. Filming in the gym for public sharing should be limited to shots framed to exclusively catch you.
Yeah look I think that behaviour is deplorable also but in that moment you can't be assuming it is content unless it's obvious. If the gym doesn't have rules on the matter it isn't his place to scold someone. As for it becoming content I would argue that it is due to his reaction. I cant imagine how her looks or pose would have been a great influencer style post anyway.
But who checks their form on a machine?
I don't know, someone who might have a specific injury or requirement.
Regardless just because it doesn't seem to be a common thing to do doesn't mean the first port of call is threatening and aggressive behaviour.
