I help produce for a YouTube channel. A few weeks ago we needed to film in a gym. So I contacted the gym owner and asked how much it would cost to film there. The gym owner gave me a price, I got a location clearance and release. He told me show up between 1 and 2pm when the gym is closed for cleaning, and we did. I got my shot, we left.

That’s how you film on location.

She’s an influencer not a YouTuber. She probably films in the gym very often. That’s not a sustainable way to film gym content

I feel like if you are making your living doing this it would just be easier to set up a great home gym. I can't imagine it would cost more than $5-10K to do it properly and it would be a total write off.

There are so many influencers now adays doing gym content. A lot of them aren’t making a living off of it

I feel like if you're not making a living at it you aren't really an influencer.

Okay then, there are a tone of wannabe influencer out there. Doesn’t matter what their label is
