  It is also a private space that others pay to use. Their right to privacy outweighs your right to film.

    Just because a place is private doesn’t mean you have a right to privacy. It means the owners of the place have the right to dictate how much privacy they give.

      My gym explicitly allowes filming. It’s something I knew and accepted when I signed up.

      Either the gym shown allowes filming and didn’t adequately communicate that to the guy or they don’t allow it and didn’t adequately communicate that to the woman.

      Or one of them are ignoring the rules I guess.

    100% this.

    Absolutely, but that guy was not an owner or employee so that’s not relevant.

    I’m not saying gyms should have to allow it, I’m saying people who are working out should understand it.

      I don't understand your argument. Surely paying customers have MORE right to privacy rather than less?

        His privacy was not being invaded whatsoever and he approached the situation like an asshole.

        They’re a gym, unless the business has stated the rules that prohibit recording then I don’t see why privacy is a matter to discuss as more or less at all.

        Fact is if it were prohibited then he could have alerted staff, if it were not he could have asked or stated that he didn’t want to be in the background of the video. Instead he put himself in the video and made a scene, was aggressive and threatening and you’re defending him.

  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.

      You have to assume it’s content for your own safety.

      • Squizzy@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        That’s bollox, if safety was an issue he wouldn’t have approached in view of the camera he was giving out about that’s ridiculous.

        If there was a safety concern approach staff or from out of view and don’t start off aggressive and threatening.

  But who checks their form on a machine?

  • Squizzy@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    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.
