  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.

  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.

        He wasn't nice about it and that was wrong but you rarely have the right to record a person without their permission and she had no right to record him. It doesn't matter the rules of the gym, it's his right to not be filmed. He could have been put in danger by her actions.
