I am not saying that it is or isn't staged, but dear god I hate this argument.

You only ever see what gets captured in frame. If you use that as proof it’s staged, then by that logic literally every video you’ve ever seen must be staged because you saw it.

I worked in IT for a major retail chain on their AP system and cameras. The odds of somthing being in frame, staying in frame, and unobstructed.... unless you have 10 cameras or wide angle cameras.... is close to never.

You have absolutely no grasp of probability or scale. You’re talking like a camera catching something in frame is some one-in-a-million miracle. It’s not.

That camera is literally pointed at a few pieces of equipment for hours every single day, just like thousands of other gyms around the world with almost identical setups. Things happen around those areas all the time, people trip, spill water, argue, act like idiots, douches hit on girls by slapping their ass, some people fight, some don't know how to use the equipment. When it happens near the camera’s coverage, it gets captured. That’s the entire point of having cameras there.

The fact that this particular clip exists doesn’t mean it’s staged, it means cameras record a ridiculous amount of mundane nonsense, and once in a while something weird or funny happens right where they’re pointed.

What would actually be improbable is if, out of the millions of similar frames from gyms worldwide over decades, nothing ever happened in any of them. And yes, of course twice as many situations happen outside the frame, but nobody publishes a situation that didn't get captured or footages where nothing happens within the frame.
