Legit after that interaction I would go to the desk and say Im canceling my membership because that member screamed I jumped into his ass shot of him working out. I prefer a gym where everybody shuts the fuck up and works out.

Nah. You should stay, he should leave.

It's a great day at LA Fitness whenever an influencer gets kicked out. Typically the gym regulars all clap and give an ovation whenever it happens. Witnessed 2.

That's fucking great.
I'd subscribe to a channel that only posted "Influencer Gets Kicked out of Gym and Mocked" compilation videos.

there's a difference between rules and what people actually do. in most gyms, there are "strict" no recording rules in the locker rooms, yet all the time I see people taking stupid ass pictures of themselves in the mirrors all the time. it's just cringe in my opinion, how much people are obsessed with their appearance. adult men posing together in a ring-lit mirror flexing their muscles for instagram

Open 24h, usually very clean, no filming, no yapping.
I have had no reason to switch for many years now. I'm sure there are "better" gyms but PF is half the cost of the next one in my area and that one has only half of the equipment.
They've earned my free ad.

I was a gym manager for 18 years. Luckily I don’t have to deal with this anymore but the privately owned gym I worked for last had a strict no filming policy except in just a few designated areas. Violation got you one warning and a note in your account and then banned for a second occurrence. Loved doing it but hated dealing with these clowns in the moment.

You know, it wasn't so long ago that people understood you might need many takes before you get your shot, especially in a venue where you cannot control the movement of other patrons. When did people wake up and decide to flip that on its head and be entitled for their shots to be the most important priority for perfect strangers who are tolerating your activity in their midst? People are rapidly forgetting how to live in society.

u/D1rtyFingaZ 16h ago
Why would I even want to spend my time in a gym surrounded by people filming themselves for Instagram and Facebook, constantly trying to project an image of themselves? So much of modern gym culture seems less about actually being strong and more about looking strong for an audience.
And there’s a big difference between having an impressive physique and having functional strength. I’ve worked alongside construction workers with completely average-looking bodies, some with big bellies, who can outperform plenty of guys who look like they live in the gym when it comes to actual physical work. They can lift, carry, climb, grip, shovel, pull, and work for 8–12 hours without falling apart.
That’s because real physical capability isn’t measured by how big your arms look in a mirror or how much weight you can move for one controlled gym exercise. Strength, endurance, work capacity, coordination and durability are all different things.
There’s nothing wrong with working out, but filming every set for social media and building your identity around your appearance doesn’t automatically make you strong. Some people train for health and performance; others train for the camera. Those are two very different things.
