Social media fitness influencers. One was at my gym a few weeks ago. Me and my buddy just laughed.

My son, 18, and his buddies record each other when going for PRs. There’s also a few flex pics for their girlfriends. They laugh about people setting up a ‘production studio’ rig in the gym.

Go buy a functional "whoopee" cushion. Stand near the camera. Play a tune with your whoopee. Insert the words "Who farted" as appropriate.

I’m seeing it way more the past 2-3 months in our gym too. But it’s way more prevalent at obscure times(like if I happen to go after 8pm or well before 5am.)
I never see them during those morning and afternoon rushes, but that’s probably cuz they know it wouldn’t go over well with the general population at those times.

Saw two OT 7's recording each other on the crossover cables doing back exercises I offered to film them but got denied.

Why the frick does this bother you? So you want more rules in place because someone does something that doesn’t affect you in the least bit? I don’t film myself but I damn sure like listening to my own playlist than the teen pop bullshite they play at the gym. I also use an app to track my sets and keep my time.

I agree. I hate people too.

Makes him uncomfortable because he doesn’t get any attention.

My personal favorite. The OT Gym Fanatic who resents "fatties" at "his gym." These are the people who should be at the gym.

Then they shouldn’t be complaining about what others are doing at said gym

I don't think banning smartphones is a good idea, just because I know, for instance, that I use my smartphone to listen to music/podcasts when I'm working out.
But, even with my earphones in, hearing people on the machine nearby either obnoxiously loud run their mouths on the phone or to someone on the machine next to that person is super aggravating.
I'm not saying we need to be silent at the gym, but if you're using a machine, whether that be a treadmill, bench press, or elliptical, be focused on what you're doing. You shouldn't be at the gym for social hour. There's other times to do that.

A lot of people on there film theirselves so they can go back and check their form and ask for advice from other people.
Some have personal trainers/nutrition coaches that plan workouts, work on form, and advise on macros. Much cheaper to film and submit then have them with you in the gym

The ones videoing in the locker rooms are the worst.

I guarantee the OP, who ran and bled all over the OT because someone videoed themselves at the gym, wouldn’t say a damn word to the same people in person. Easy to come on here and bitch though.

Facetiming in the locker room is definitely not cool.

Build a gym in your spare room or garage and never go back. You will save time, gas, aggravation, germs and money. Plus, you won’t have to deal with other people.

If I don’t have my boat in the garage then this would be a thing. Pretty sure it’d be an easy fix for it being 120+
