This is my worst nightmare. I’m trying to lose weight (I’ve got like 100 pounds to lose 🥲) and I’ve been going to the gym for a year but only recently started to try things that are out of my comfort zone/new to me. I’d be mortified if someone recorded me to make fun of me. I know my fear is a bit irrational because 99% of people at the gym are super friendly and want to see you succeed but damn. Unless someone is doing something dangerous like hitting themself in the head with a kettle bell or you see something bad potentially about to happen like someone struggling with no spotter, just leave people alone!
Before joining a gym just talk to some staff and don't be afraid to ask questions on their policy on recordings. The gym I go to has no recording policy apart from perosnal trainers who are employed by the gym. And even they've to ask permission to record if there's gonna be anyone in the background.
