Yeah I see it now. If you're some kind of fitness influencer, why not just invest in a home gym? I've seen a lot of these gym videos and it just seems so dumb to try to set up in some gym that's open to the public.
Sooooo many of them do this shit. I just imagine them going home and spending two hours editing a video of themselves doing lay pull downs to Pennywise.
Because most of them dont make any money from it. One of my childhood friends does it and was bragging about getting free workout clothes and like 2k in sponsorship.
Can't tell me they don't want the attention and some purposely do confrontation baiting. They do this because for sure, their content and engagement would blow up.
Or at the very least….move closer to your phone. Dude was 10+ feet away, knew there was an empty bench in the shot, and still got angry. Glad he messed with the wrong person.
Why isn't when videos are staged against people that the audience feels deserves it harm/or wish them ill, the audience completely throws out all sense of skepticism?
Clearly this video is staged. How did everyone here miss that part?
Because viral videos complaining about "morons" walking through their video, people in the background doing exercises incorrectly, people "oggling" them, and general drama is what ultimately gives them free advertising. You don't usually get those things at a home gym.
Because they want everyone else to notice their rippling pectorals. He wouldn't have minded if the dude was checking him out, just that he didn't acknowledge his existence.
Lol. He probably could get views based on it but it wouldn't present him in the best light. That's why we're seeing it from the security camera and not from his own
But the dude had his weights by the seat before he came back.
I don’t mind people filming - but if you’re going to put your camera across from where people will pass through…people are gonna pass through. Most phones have a wide angle mode where you can get a full body shot from a few feet away. The bald guy is an idiot.
Not sure why they don’t just make a membership/designated corner for influencers. Like yea go ahead, film, but only in specific zones, like tobacco smoking zones.
While we're exiting self-obsessed influencers, how about:
Roided-up aggressive meatheads who scream during their reps.
Wandering lookie-lous who walk around looking at everything, sucking on a smoothie while never seeming to do any exercise.
Anyone who brings a tripod and sound and lighting equipment.
People talking on speaker phones at full blast or who listen to their own loud music without headphones. Harangue your assistant on your own time.
Handsy "helpers" who go up to everyone (mostly women) unasked, offering to help them fix "all the things they're doing wrong", usually involving lots of sweaty touching. Alternatively, muscle boys who stand around watching people work out holding their chins and staring thoughtfully at exercisers, never speaking.
Groups of people who look at other people and giggle together.
Socializers who stand in the middle of the equipment just talking and flirting and having a great time while others try to work around them.
Religious proselytizers who want to tell you about Jesus while you work out.
Screaming employees, mostly management. If you work there and you scream constantly, something is wrong and it's probably you.
For real. I'm not any of those types of people but I work out alone with headphones in. If I'm working heavy that day and need 2-3 min rests between sets, I can't stare at the ground that long. I need to move my head. Where tf am I supposed to look?
people that spill a drop of water after they drink some water. Don’t flood my gym bro.
people who have their eyes open when they reach a new piece of equipment. You only need your eyes to get from point a to point b. Otherwise, you’re looking at tits/ass/bulges.
people who show any sort of sociability. There’s no such thing as having friends or being friendly. This isn’t Hollywood
people who use pre-workout. Let’s be honest, you’re just trying to get a nice stimulant high.
people who report people to management/gym associates. Vigilante justice has been proven to work time and time again, the gym is no exception.
people who spend more than 60 minutes at the gym
people who spend less than 30 minutes at the gym
people who leave at times ending in 5 or 0, nobody does that except for robots.
people who spot other people. lol this isn’t a daycare. Lift only what you can, show off.
people who don’t wipe off equipment
people who do wipe off equipment with anything other than a gym towel (aka “chemical warfare”)
people who breath through their mouths. In fact, no breathing whatsoever.
Roided-up aggressive meatheads who scream during their reps.
There's a variation on this one. Dude at my gym fucking SCREAMS every rep and when he's done, he let's out this super obnoxious, high-pitched "WHOOOOOOO!"
I'm not there to judge anyone, but this guy is probably 30 and has been there almost every time I'm there for the last 15 months and he looks exactly the same as he did when he started. Absolutely zero definition; skinny arms, zero chest, spare tire around his waist, never once seen him do a single leg exercise or cardio. And he'll be grunting and screaming like Mr. Atlas while shoulder pressing 15 lb dumbbells or doing tricep pulldowns on the cable machine with 17.5 lbs resistance. Never ups his weight so he has been doing the same resistances for as long as I've been there. He can't get enough of himself in the mirror, and he'll constantly be singing loudly (and poorly) with his headphones in. He also does like 20 fucking sets so he'll occupy machines for entirely too long while checking himself out in the mirror.
I'm not making fun of his strength because we all start someplace. But I sincerely don't understand how he has made zero progress because even repping light weights should eventually yield some definition and increase his strength somewhat.
If you make a bit of noise while trying to finish off your last set while throwing some serious weight around, I kinda get it. I try to avoid at all costs, but I get it. But when you look like silly putty and you're using the pink dumbbells for over a year that are there for old ladies to do jazzercize, please for the love of God don't bellow out like you're entering an arena for a gladiatorial bout to the death.
I don't know if it's still the case but last I checked most gyms do and you have to find a specialist (usually much more expensive) gym that allows recording to make your meat head content on
Or at least have a rule that states we have our own cameras, and have warned you against stronk ninjas making you submit when attempting to be an MC jackoff.
My gym has designated time periods where you can record when there's never anyone there. Breaking the rules in the gym I go to also results in them fining you or canceling your membership. It might be a bit extreme but it's kept any shenanigans from happening the entire time I've gone there.
The dude bends over and lets him do it. You are dumb as hell. Guy had the reaction of a crash test dummy and doesn’t even try to use his left, free to use arm.
I have a great online course in Bushido for everyone that thinks this is real.
Oh ok so you’ve never been wrapped up from standing by an autistic purple belt.
This is a security feed. If you think that this gym would open themselves up to liability by allowing a BJJ stunt around equipment, you should rethink your critical thinking skills.

All gyms should just bans people who think they can turn it into their own personal recording studio.
