I won't lift in your recording studio, you don't record in my gym. Case closed3

Yeah that’s definitely not on. It’s one thing to record a lift to check technique, it’s another to film in a private changing space.lynn_glenmont wrote: »I just wish my gym would bar video recording in the locker room.
I once asked a couple of teenagers taking selfies in the mirror (so potentially catching unaware people changing on the other side of the room) and they stared at me like I was speaking some language they did not know.0 -

So, as I understand it, this isn't necessarily a crime, but a person could file a civil lawsuit if their face is recognizable and the video is profitable.
Yes, releases for people who get filmed in public for commercials is still "a thing." Watch a show like "What Would You Do?" on ABC, where they stage ethical conundrums and film people's behavior, and you'll occasionally see people with blurred faces because they didn't sign a release.1 -
Personally I hate it so much. But, if they have it angled towards themselves and are respectful I guess I don’t actually care. I do see some people online demonstrating things that I get tips from. But when I see it in person, I don’t love it. So maybe that makes me a hypocrite. Then of course you have people like Joey Swoll who expose the worst of them. Including people doing some HIGHLY nasty things to the machines for their Only Fans etc. IDK, if I were king of the world, I’d either ban it or create a gym that caters to it. Probably way too niche but maybe in the right location.
I agree with everything you just said

Just curious, what are you doing in your profile pic? Mine is of Mona Lisa holding my cat. He’s kind of boujie so I had to have it made.Video recording.........okay or not?
Obviously a private business can decide, but I’m a strong no. I won’t go to that gym if they do. This is the stuff that slips through the cracks and now we have people taking lobsters on planes as support animals. It’s a slippery slope.1 -

If such a thing ever actually happened it was very likely a stunt.
Airlines have really tightened up their rules after much abuse of the system.
Most airlines won’t allow any emotional support animals except dogs now. And they have to have all the proper paperwork in order. Any other animal must fly as a pet, and follow all the rules that apply to every other pet on the plane.

Mfp won’t let me “reply” right now. In my pic? I’m just laying. And taking a selfie. Definitely not as fancy as a cat Mona Lisa that you had made.

Okay, I’m dumb. Forget I asked 🤦🏼♀️ Lol. Super pretty btw!

I don’t want to hijack this discussion. But it was a huge issue within the disability community a few years back.
Some people were being inconsiderate kittens, as humans occasionally are capable of being. Others were farming for YouTube rage content. Basically ruined a good thing for the few people who actually do have well behaved well controlled emotional support animals that weren’t dogs. Most often autistic and/or people with PTSD.

Talk about video content, there are many YOUTUBERS out there who are FINALLY getting jailed or dumped because of content. The two I'm glad are getting their just desserts are Johnny Somali (for stunts in Japan and Israel) and Jack Doherty (who is getting sued for his bodyguard punching out an innocent bystander who was holding a friend back after Jack instigated a fight)MargaretYakoda wrote: »MargaretYakoda wrote: »

A big controversy nowadays in the gym is the use of phones recording individuals workouts. While there are some great influencers in the industry that do a great job on instruction, there are so many "influencers" out there focusing on their own workouts, but doing things like commenting on other members, being angry that someone stepped in front of their recordings, and taking up space they don't need to so that others won't be in their recordings.
IMO, we are in such a "ME" society now, that so many clips and recordings don't really focus on the actual correct form and execution of exercise, but just what the individual does just because they might have a nice physique.
While I'm okay with recording IF the person isn't causing a ruckus and IF they are considerate to others who may ask not to be in the background, I've had to actual ask members to leave because they didn't want to follow some of those rules. Places like LA Fitness and now possible 24 hour have strictly banned any recordings at all and most gyms will likely follow suit. In our gym already, we don't allow crocks or slippers to workout in.

IMO if someone has to label themselves as an "influencer" they're not worth the powder to blow them to h#ll. Also if, by chance, they have some good information, they're not going on the cheap and recording in a public gym.

The videoing itself doesn't bother me, it's whether or not they're being respectful of other gymgoers while filming. Which often they are not (though there are many that are). I say live and let live, it's a public space, be respectful while doing your thing.
except it's not a public space. The sidewalk is a public space.
You have no way of knowing everyones consent in the background of your video, what if that person has a stalker or an abusive ex, they now know where they workout, great.
I've only ever filmed in a gym, actually, I asked someone to film my form on a lift to send to a trainer, no one else in the gym, no one in the background, no sticking my *kitten* out of clicks
I'd be happy to see filming banned in gyms because once again, a few spoil it for everyone because they have no sense of respect for others3 -
Yes and when it's mentioned to some members, they get so offended. It's then you have to remind them that we are a private business and that we have the option to boot them out if they refuse to comply.sollyn23l2 wrote: »A big controversy nowadays in the gym is the use of phones recording individuals workouts.

Im ok with banning it completely.3

I haven’t gone to the gym in years because of bad experiences so I already have a bias and I own it. I’m sure some gyms are great environments or have good management who monitors these things, but just seeing someone holding their phone a certain way so it looks like they’re recording (even if they’re not) is enough to make me feel uncomfortable and leave that area. I realize my response to this topic is probably biased because of my past experiences, but the whole idea makes me uncomfortable.
I do like the ideas of having certain gym areas or hours where people can record if they are doing so for productive purposes.1 -

With facial recognition technology, this is actually a thing.
Ever watched the Discovery show about the Real Time Crime centers? Mind boggling.
Wasn’t there a big worry a while back about people being able to identify random people they’d taken a shine to and track them down using similar tech?1 -

That can already be done using Google image search. Search their picture in Google images, and if their picture is in a public social media, you can often find them.0
