The newest gym annoyance: the social media influencer
Posted on 6/21/22 at 11:16 am

Started back working out regularly at a large gym a few weeks ago. It's been a while so I was prepared to deal with the normal gym annoyances; like the person sitting on a machine and texting, a person doing deadlifts with 8 45lb plates and not re-wracking, and so on.
But the newest trend has been the the wannabe social media model/influencer carrying around a tripod, taking time to make sure the phone is properly situated, and then working out while talking to her "followers."
Now granted some of them I would follow all day, but when a person takes up a squat rack for half an hour to film a show on a busy Monday...it can be a bit much.
Also I laughed when someone tripped over their tripod that they positioned in the middle of the walk way

There's a chick with a couple hundred thousand Instagram followers that works out at my gym from time to time.
She fine too.
P.S you're an awful speller and don't know your homophones

Cool. You can edit my post for me if you want. Spelling looks clean to me.

Most are, but it's pretty dumb to do in a busy arse gym. Pretty narcissistic as well, but that's a given.

There's a guy at my gym who has a youtube fitness channel. Don't know his name but he supposedly has like 3 million subs. He comes in with a tripod, lighting, all this crap. He even rubs himself down with baby oil and has a spray bottle he uses to spray water on his chest, face, arms etc for a 'fake sweat' effect. It's a total clown show and he ties up a whole area of the gym filming ridiculous videos.

That's awesome. Luckily, I haven't seen any of this at my place. Only a few random pics snapped or short videos taken for Instagram.

Just wait until she catches you on camera glancing at her for half a second while she does overexaggerated RDLs. You’ll get blasted on Tik Tok as a skeezy pervert.

I've still never seen the tripod with lights set up in a gym.
I've been asked to film people when they were going for a PR or something or seen people set up the cameras on racks with little magnet things, but never a full on tripod.

Weird that you would waste your training time to disrupt someone doing something that doesn't affect you at all

If you have a couple hundred thousand followers or 3 million like another poster mentioned, at least spring for an actual camcorder. What a cheap arse!

Y'all laugh, but the cameras on phones are shite compared to real cameras. The video functions on phones are especially dog shite.
