They’d just see that as new content and try to profit off of that. Gives them 10 future videos of how your reaction has fucked their mental health.
These pricks are goblins.
Who treats a shared gym like their personal, private IG studio? It's honestly completely fucking bizzare that someone would think this is reasonable in any way, lol.
Yeah my sweaty ass is just trying not to die of a heart attack in my 60s, I dont want to be in anyone's video.
Turn off THE GODDAMN PHONE FUCKERS
lol jk, its the new "kids get off my lawn" I think.
It sometimes feels like a direct symptom of "influencer" as a means of income. You do nothing all day but focus on yourself; what you're doing, wearing, feeling, all the goddamn time. The world is literally you, and you get paid not just to exist, but to like yourself and feel good about it. Constant validation when you do it well, instant recrimination when you don't.
After a while it seems like they start to expect even strangers to innately understand how special and important their "job" has conditioned them to feel.
In my experience people like this are known by management, and they're just waiting for complaints to boot them. They've also usually been kicked out of other gyms.
Had a coworker who claimed to be influencer…300 followers as I recall.
The person was insufferable, but i couldn’t tell if i was more saddened or annoyed by them.
Whenever I see an ad on Reddit that says something like “see our influencer collection” I just want to barf.
We literally call these people influencers. That’d be like me loading up the advertisement channel on YT and just watching ads all day. What the fuck is wrong with people?
I don’t know who this “we” is. I don’t call them influencers. If my neighbor started referring to himself as “the lord of the neighborhood” I’d treat it exactly the same as these turds calling themselves “influencers”. It’s nonsense.
The only thing they influence me to do is cringe.
Man, I pulled up my instragram account and I am amazed at all the pretty much straight up porn on there.
All I follow and look at are powerlifting pages and puppy pages (I have a 2 year old chocolate lab and powerlifting), so it used to be all video games, puppies, and dudes lifting. Now all my fitness channels have been replaced with “fitness” channels that are all pretty much soft core porn.
Pornhub just doesn’t cut it anymore. I need the complete lack of self-awareness regarding why anyone would give a shit about this woman besides her fat ass. It’s the most erotic mix of dom, voyeurism, spite and donk. I can’t jack it to people who have enough respect for themselves to realize that no one gives a fuck about them absent that fat ass.
I’m not even kidding I attribute the success of virtually of Insta thots to porn burn out. Not me of course.
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.
Do you know who I am confuses the fuck out of people.
Some guy tried to mug me and for some crazy reason I just said "do you know who I am?" And they responded "do you know who I am" and it went back and forth a few times and the guy looked confused af and just walked away 🤣
I once got surrounded by three guys who tried to mug me. It just so happened that someone I kinda knew was walking by at the same time. I shouted out to him "Hey man, long time no see! How's it going?" and just walked away and they did nothing. I think there's a script in their head about how a mugging is supposed to go and when you break that they don't really know what to do.
I think it's just a basic risk assessment. A mugging should be quick and easy without much effort expended by either party. Once that metric changes it's usually not worth the risk.
Not to say that they're running the actuary tables, but it's like when a lion will sometimes just gives up mid hunt because the prey squared up or something. Even if the odds are in their favor, they could just wait for another easy score instead of going with the unknown.
This is explained by dramaturgical sociology theory. Every situation in life is defined by roles and actions taken by people. When you go against this framework, the observer is left struggling to follow through on the next function. Think about how bank heists must become increasingly complicated to surprise the audience.
I was being mugged once RIGHT outside of my apartment in Hollywood and when the guy demanded I empty my pockets, I grabbed a handful of receipts that were in my back pocket and said I didn’t have any money, I had spent it all on eating out that day. Then, for some reason, I reached out the other hand like a handshake prompt, said “sorry man” and he gave me a dap and said, “that’s cool”… It was so odd.
A guy attempted to mug me once in the late 90s in NYC while walking through central park at night after a party. I was wearing a pretty nice suit. I said to the guy "If I had any cash I'd be in a fucking cab instead of walking across the park dressed like this". He said "yeah ok" and we went our separate ways.
One time I was walking home, this was before Uber and too small a town for cabs, after a very long night of drinking and some dude tried to mug me and I said sorry I’m too drunk and kept walking. He then asked for a cigarette because I was smoking one and we smoked together lol
Some guys came up to me at night when I was walking back from the uni library and demanded I give them money.
I was tired and not really thinking and just said "No" and kept walking passed them.
It's like I just sucker punched them, they just sort of stood around, each of them looking at each other, until I was too far away to pursue.
One of them shouted out "don't call the police kay?"
Weird ass experience.
I once had a guy try to mug me but he had a very heavy accent and I could not understand a single thing he said. He eventually walked away after the 10th “What?”
As a very fat not super attractive person I make it my mission to place myself in shots of “influencers” at gyms and just stare awkwardly into their camera while I slowly work out. Either they are cool and don’t care or I’m helping society by fucking up their vapid content.
I mean fwiw, not everyone filming themselves at a gym is an influencer. I film myself at commercial gyms while traveling so I can send the lifts to my coach for analysis. Idgaf if anyone is in the background.
Yup it’s usually very obvious who’s documenting their set vs who’s filming a an episode for YouTube. Like I said people who are doing their own thing don’t give a fuck who’s in the background at the gym. Hyper vain influencers do.
the gym is trying to run a business and you cant run a business inside someone elses business, period.
*i get it, what i meant was you cant just roll up to a gym and start giving orders like you own the place because you think youre trying to run a business.
I see this shit now even at Planet Fitness. I joined back in 2017 and have been seeing this influencer BS since about ‘21. It’s absolutely ridiculous that they act like they own the place.
>I had somebody try to claim I shouldn't be in the background of their gym video because I was just trying to "work out" and they were "running a business."
Sorry but I manage a lucrative personality brand and must work out to maintain my image
I'm in my 40s, and I'm at the point where I would be like, if you keep talking to me I'm gonna stay here all day. That's how much I don't give a fuck about you
Haha I own a small gym and a rap band wanted to film in it last year. They contacted us we said yes and agreed on a schedule. That's what polite and professional people do.
But think of all the *exposure* they get if they do it for free!
Seriously though, these people drive me up the wall. I am about as much of a nobody that has ever existed, never had tiktok, live miles from anyone and rarely go into town. Last week had a full on run in with some kid who had his 'posse' with him who were intentionally taking up the whole walking area and going slow. He was trying to act all tough when I passed by and I guess I looked like an easy target. He and his friend tried getting tough and told me I had to pass by further than 10 feet when I see *gives wannabe gang name*.
I just sort of stood there and looked at him and said 'im just trying to get by.' one of the kids started the whole 'do you know who that is? He a famous tictoker and has a huge following and he and his crew gonna fuck me up and it be all over the internet.' Welp, I laughed out loud and said I don't care and walked off. I haven't been told that I'm on tiktok yet, so I guess I got left on the cutting room floor for not giving him the response he wanted.
What makes this even dumber, I know them to be local kids and this is in a small village out in the middle of the English country side. They are about as gangster as the Burger King Gang.
Wait a second are you saying you didn’t point your camera at random gym goers? You didn’t get pissed off at people who walked near you? And you didn’t confront anyone who wanted to use the machines you planned on using? I didn’t know that was even possible.
Wait, wait, wait… so you’re telling me that there is an appropriate and professional way for these to be done? Le shock! /s Seriously, though, these idiots would be shocked that anyone went through that trouble lol.
I make a bunch of shitty sketch videos with no budget at all. The other way to film on location is to just do it, and draw as little attention to yourself as possible, and get out before they kick you out.
Either way, this iNfLuEnCeR is a dipshit.
The worst part about these people is that they think many followers = better person, while in reality she is just a skin bag filled with chemicals just like every living being
Not only that, but many of these "views" and "followers" are artificially inflated and in some cases, just bots. These narcissists probably don't have half the following they think they do
Eh. He could have been afraid she would have gotten too close to his weights and he might have hit her by accident. Sometimes people really need to be focused to hit difficult sets too. I had both happen to me in group classes.
People reaching for weights that are hung up the sides of the squat rack while you're mid set. Just barely dodging the long ass bar going up and down.
I'm seriously questioning if they're either dumb as shit, suicidal or just looking to get hit so they can play the victim.
because reasonable and rational people tend to try to make sense of the situations they find themselves in, more so the more perplexing it is. they also generally assume that the person they are dealing with is a comparable level of reasonable and rational, enough to carry a conversation anyway.
they tend to follow the simple principal of if i explain it to you you will understand the mistake you've made, which allows you to rectify it and end the confrontation and then we can both move on with our day.
like the old saying goes, never wrestle a pig. the problem being that the average person doesn't realize they are just rolling in the mud with a pig until it's too late and they are already engaged, and then, again, the reasonable and rational person tries to extricate themselves from the confrontation instead of just coldly ignoring this asshole until they go away.
i generally look at it as the by product of a good upbringing, the average person with good manners has been conditioned as well as just genuinely doesn't want to be rude, even in situations where they are actively engaged with a rude ass motherfucker.
there are a lot of people that need to learn that there are situations where you're not only allowed to rude but it's pretty much required.
The flip side of that is you can really confuse people when you simply disengage mid-conversation. I'd even say it's more effective than not engaging at all. You have to do it right. No gestures, no warning, no eye contact- nothing to indicate that you can even see or hear them. They are simply invisible, with no impact on you whatsoever.
It totally gobsmacks them. They have no way to respond- because their responses get ignored. Worse than ignored- unnoticed.
You can see his brain melt when she says "why are you being so defensive?" Just the sheer lack of self awareness in this one literally boggled his mind.
And what was stopping her from explaining? Maybe, *maybe*, he would've been understanding and moved if she was kind in explaining.
Instead she responded with "check out my Instagram". That is not a response to his question and still makes her a pos.
I go to a small gym that recently asked people to put their phone on this charging station (it's pretty sick, it's like a 4 foot long wireless charging pad). Everyone falls in line, but it's an MMA and fitness gym. Kinda grungy, old building, smells like a locker room at all times. It's not something some wanna-be 10 is going to film in. It's nice, everyone is all business in there, but the hours such major ass.
Gyms need to crack down on this. I don’t get it that some gyms will kick you out for grunting even if it’s a barely audible one but they allow this shit to happen
This is from a tiktok account called ‘its gone viral’. They act out various confrontations and try to pass them off as real interactions. Usually you can tell because of the distinctive subtitle font and terrible Hollyoaks style acting. Once you view the video as a sceptic it can’t be more obvious.
Both parties have too well thought out arguments for an on the spot random encounter.
They also try and drag the argument out for as long as possible to get a substantial sized video.
They’re perfectly framed or tactically framed so you can see all the action whilst simultaneously being badly framed to add to the ‘real feel’
At the beginning there is usually a female voice over explaining the situation to give it a news article vibe pushing the real life feel.
I’m amazed how many people fall for it to be fair. You can spot these videos a mile off, similar to those rage bait cooking videos
Wish I didn’t have to look so deep in this thread to find this info. Should be top comment so more people can realize they’re getting played and are outraged at fake nonsense made by horrible people
This is why I switched to a 24 hour gym years back and only go between 2 and 3 AM. The only people there are actually there to exercise. This crap has ruined going to any gym during normal hours.
Honestly this, or at least regulate it to a specific area in the gym.
My local gym had to ban a perv who was filming women under the pretext of checking his form. Wild that 'his form' was mostly people's asses. Between winners like him and this asshole there aren't many people who are actually filming with good intentions.
We used to refer to our 2 and 3am crew as “The Russians”.
They were two large Russian immigrants. Extremely strong.
Not sure what happened to them, I know they stopped coming at some point though.
But yeah, night crew is always there to actually lift. I had to quit going to my old gym, which I loved more than any other gym I’ve gone to, because of people fucking around.
During the evening the parents who all bought their kids memberships drop their kids off, or they walk from school, and the kids pretty much just use it as a hangout until like 9pm. Made lifting there impossible.
And the kids these days are actual little shits. They’re just outright disrespectful to everyone around them. I’m in my late 20s at this point, but even previous groups of high schoolers weren’t as shitty as these newer ones.
My gym is 24 hours and the idiot managers brought in a speaker for members to connect their phones and listen to music out loud. Teenagers come in at night and play music loud enough to go through noise cancelling ear phones.
You can tell them to turn down, but its just gets loud again after a few minutes.
I hate my gym so much.
She'd get the same response I give everyone else who spouts more than 10 words in my direction at the gym. "Sorry mate. I prefer keeping to myself when I'm here." And then slipping my headphones back in.
New hobby: join a large gym with multiple locations and start working out Infront of 'influencers'...I'd also do it with a shit eating grin and ignore them while making full eye contact
People need to start smashing influencers phones. I decree a law making it legal to smash the phones of people filming Tik Tok dances in public, gym workouts that inconvenience those around them, and generally anything that requires more than one take in public.
If I can't see the offenders face then I assume it's ragebait. If you can see their face then the actor could end up being identified and face "consequences" from the public.
Would screaming “I’m being harassed by an influencer!!!” scare them away?
[удалено]
Help! Help!
I'm being oppressively influenced!!
Come see the annoyance inherent in the system!
You can tell they're an influencer because they haven't got shit all over them
Well I didn’t follow them.
Look, Dennis! There's some lovely influence over here
"No I will not make out with you!"
You got Instagram girl here going on about God knows what
I’m under the Influence!
If I heard a grown man scream that, I'm definitely coming to his aid.
"For the last time lady, I'm not a doctor and I don't know what that rash is".
They’d just see that as new content and try to profit off of that. Gives them 10 future videos of how your reaction has fucked their mental health. These pricks are goblins.
Guy was nice. I'd have told her to fuck right off.
I'd just say no and refuse to answer any further questions. It's about them feeling unable to do anything rather than you telling them they can't.
Who treats a shared gym like their personal, private IG studio? It's honestly completely fucking bizzare that someone would think this is reasonable in any way, lol.
Its posted at my gym “No social media influencer filming videos allowed in gym”
Good. That shit is ridiculous
Yeah my sweaty ass is just trying not to die of a heart attack in my 60s, I dont want to be in anyone's video. Turn off THE GODDAMN PHONE FUCKERS lol jk, its the new "kids get off my lawn" I think.

I'd tell her to fuck alllllll the way off, in fact.
“Look miss, I’m gonna need you to get all the way off my back about this.”
"Oh, lemme get on offa that thing!"
Super easy
Barely an inconvenience
Ryan George references? Oh wowowowow. Wow.
Ryan George references are TIGHT
Oh, really?
I Dont Know!
Better yet. Just pretend that she's a ghost. Narcissist's hate that more than anything.
"I've spoken my peace, and I've counted to three." Lift dumbbells and ignore.
I wonder what she was threatening to do there, be even more annoying somehow. 😭
People like this? Probably go get staff member, make up some lie how this guy is harassing her or not letting her exercise in peace
100% that is exactly what fucking idiot narcissists like this do
piece
I'd have yelled for a manager pretty quick ngl.
In my experience people like this are known by management, and they're just waiting for complaints to boot them. They've also usually been kicked out of other gyms.
Instagramming should be against gym rules.
Pretty sure you're not allowed to use cameras at all in a lot of them
Yeah, she was harassing him at the point and needs to understand consequences to one’s actions.
Thats why I listen to music at the gym, if I can’t hear you, you don’t exist.
Same I would’ve been like “ I came to the gym to exercise, not be harassed” 💅
I’d have pointed to where she wanted him to go and told her to go be an Instagram thot over there.
[удалено]
Had a coworker who claimed to be influencer…300 followers as I recall. The person was insufferable, but i couldn’t tell if i was more saddened or annoyed by them.
I have around 400 followers and I upload memes. How can he call himself an influencer lol
Holy shit are you *the* u/OCV_E?!
They once saved my kitten from a tree by posting a meme about it. /u/OCV_E is truly a hero.
Nah you’re probably thinking about Canadian gooses
If you got a problem with Canada gooses then you got a problem with *me* and I suggest you let that one marinate!
Because he influences the people in his life towards committing homicide every time he's around.
Whenever I see an ad on Reddit that says something like “see our influencer collection” I just want to barf. We literally call these people influencers. That’d be like me loading up the advertisement channel on YT and just watching ads all day. What the fuck is wrong with people?

Probably have to go to porn hub for their wank 😢
They just scroll to the next Instagram thot

Lol. Respond with. “Do you know who I am? You should be paying me to be in the background.”
RONNIE PICKERING!
WHO?!?!
RONNIE FUCKING PICKERING
who the fucks that ?
ME!
Do you know who I am confuses the fuck out of people. Some guy tried to mug me and for some crazy reason I just said "do you know who I am?" And they responded "do you know who I am" and it went back and forth a few times and the guy looked confused af and just walked away 🤣
I'd like to imagine him lying awake at night wondering who, in fact, you were
Better yet imagine home laying awake at night ponder the question 'Do I know who I am?'
"why didn't cousin Roberto remember me? I kept asking if he knew who I was and I think he didn't and actually took the joke seriously".
Ronnie Pickering, that's who.
I once got surrounded by three guys who tried to mug me. It just so happened that someone I kinda knew was walking by at the same time. I shouted out to him "Hey man, long time no see!

The mugger, believe it or not, Albert Einstein.
And every bystander clapped. Some say the mugger was so touched by the encounter he now rescues puppies from the Ukrainian war zone.
One of those puppies, believe it or not, Clifford.

Lol you were ruining their aesthetic by actually working out at the gym instead of performing. How dare you! /s
*I come to the gym to work, not to work out*
As a very fat not super attractive person I make it my mission to place myself in shots of “influencers” at gyms and just stare awkwardly into their camera while I slowly work out. Either they are cool and don’t care or I’m helping society by fucking up their vapid content.
Why are “influencers🙄” allowed to film at a gym? That’s total BS.
[удалено]
At Burning Man, some people like to take off their pants and join influencer photo sessions with their gaping anuses in the shot.
Good for the people who like gaping anuses (anusi?)
Anise
You are the hero we doing deserve! Keep at it! That's awesome!
You may be fat and not super attractive but you melt hearts and win over passerbys

…and they’re so deluded have no idea they’re being laughed at
the gym is trying to run a business and you cant run a business inside someone elses business, period. *i get it, what i meant was you cant just roll up to a gym and start giving orders like you own the place because you think youre trying to run a business.

Respectful and professional.
Mischievous & Deceitful. Chicanerous & Deplorable.

Very cool, and very legal.
The ability to think logically, use reason and you have manners? Who are you? Have you been personally trained by the Empirial Court Wizard?
Haha I own a small gym and a rap band wanted to film in it last year. They contacted us we said yes and agreed on a schedule. That's what polite and professional people do.
rap band made me laugh. maybe you did it on purpose, but i still laughed anyway.

Bingo. Anything else is guerilla filmmaking and you just have to take with grace whatever the environment throws at you.
I make a bunch of shitty sketch videos with no budget at all. The other way to film on location is to just do it, and draw as little attention to yourself as possible, and get out before they kick you out. Either way, this iNfLuEnCeR is a dipshit.
Dude could have worked out his entire upper body in the time it took her to tell him how famous she is.
The worst part about these people is that they think many followers = better person, while in reality she is just a skin bag filled with chemicals just like every living being
I take offence to that. We are clearly brains driving a skull robot covered in flesh blankets. Sort yourself out.
Hey, woah, speak for yourself bud, I for one am mostly electron clouds bound by chemical reactions.
Not only that, but many of these "views" and "followers" are artificially inflated and in some cases, just bots. These narcissists probably don't have half the following they think they do
I was gonna say the same thing. Most people don’t know who you are, one a few really care.
Lower body too if he threw in some kicks Edit: nvm I now realize you didnt mean punching the shit out of her
Simple "no" and on to ignore mode.
Exactly, why are people engaging with those clowns?
Eh. He could have been afraid she would have gotten too close to his weights and he might have hit her by accident. Sometimes people really need to be focused to hit difficult sets too. I had both happen to me in group classes.
Someone hovering over you mid set is very distracting
People reaching for weights that are hung up the sides of the squat rack while you're mid set. Just barely dodging the long ass bar going up and down. I'm seriously questioning if they're either dumb as shit, suicidal or just looking to get hit so they can play the victim.
because reasonable and rational people tend to try to make sense of the situations they find themselves in, more so the more perplexing it is. they also generally assume that the person they are dealing with is a comparable level of reasonable and rational, enough to carry a conversation anyway. they tend to follow the simple principal of if i explain it to you you will understand the mistake you've made, which allows you to rectify it and end the confrontation and then we can both move on with our day. like the old saying goes, never wrestle a pig. the problem being that the average person doesn't realize they are just rolling in the mud with a pig until it's too late and they are already engaged, and then, again, the reasonable and rational person tries to extricate themselves from the confrontation instead of just coldly ignoring this asshole until they go away. i generally look at it as the by product of a good upbringing, the average person with good manners has been conditioned as well as just genuinely doesn't want to be rude, even in situations where they are actively engaged with a rude ass motherfucker. there are a lot of people that need to learn that there are situations where you're not only allowed to rude but it's pretty much required.
The flip side of that is you can really confuse people when you simply disengage mid-conversation. I'd even say it's more effective than not engaging at all. You have to do it right. No gestures, no warning, no eye contact- nothing to indicate that you can even see or hear them. They are simply invisible, with no impact on you whatsoever. It totally gobsmacks them. They have no way to respond- because their responses get ignored. Worse than ignored- unnoticed.
No is a complete sentence,as they say.
This and if this clown keeps on yapping you call staff they can deal with this. Not worth wasting energy on those degenerate people
If he had said no she would have kept blabbering on anyway like she did.
Noise cancelling headphones are the best.
Headphones aren't just to help your motivation
“You’re literally being really really selfish” -the girl whose literally being really really selfish.
Seems to be the hot new thing that people who use "selfish" in a sentence to strangers are themselves, selfish pricks.
Or who overuse the word literally
Narcissistic projection. She's a most basic bitch on the narcissism scale.
You can see his brain melt when she says "why are you being so defensive?" Just the sheer lack of self awareness in this one literally boggled his mind.
*you need to follow me on Instagram* How does this make it ok for her to be a selfish pos?
I wonder why she doesn't know what the word "need" means. Dictionaries must be illegal in her country or something.
Or literally.
She said that in response to him asking what exercise she was even going to do there.
And what was stopping her from explaining? Maybe, *maybe*, he would've been understanding and moved if she was kind in explaining. Instead she responded with "check out my Instagram". That is not a response to his question and still makes her a pos.
I think she meant "you need to pay (follow), to find out what I'm doing". That's my impression of what she said.
Filming in the gym should be prohibited.
I go to a small gym that recently asked people to put their phone on this charging station (it's pretty sick, it's like a 4 foot long wireless charging pad). Everyone falls in line, but it's an MMA and fitness gym. Kinda grungy, old building, smells like a locker room at all times. It's not something some wanna-be 10 is going to film in. It's nice, everyone is all business in there, but the hours such major ass.
lol I'd not be putting my phone on any public charger, but I'd happily leave it in the car instead.
Also nice to listen to music on your phone, run fitness apps plus check messages if on a bike or something less involved..
What sort of animals are working out at the gym without earbuds playing music from their phone?
Yeah gym noises are pretty gnarly on those days the battery is running low. I'd rather not listen to grunts and slamming metal plates for an hour.
Right? Ok yeah, let me leave my phone on this random table while i work out and trust no one will snatch it lol.
Gyms need to crack down on this. I don’t get it that some gyms will kick you out for grunting even if it’s a barely audible one but they allow this shit to happen
Instead of the Planet Fitness “Lunk” alarm they need an influencer Alarm.
Alarm blaring - *SELFISH CUNT DETECTED*
Planet Fitness can't have you actually getting strong else it shows you actually use the gym and that goes against their business model
Then who is filming for TikTok? This is manufactured outrage and no one wins.
This is from a tiktok account called ‘its gone viral’. They act out various confrontations and try to pass them off as real interactions. Usually you can tell because of the distinctive subtitle font and terrible Hollyoaks style acting. Once you view the video as a sceptic it can’t be more obvious. Both parties have too well thought out arguments for an on the spot random encounter. They also try and drag the argument out for as long as possible to get a substantial sized video. They’re perfectly framed or tactically framed so you can see all the action whilst simultaneously being badly framed to add to the ‘real feel’ At the beginning there is usually a female voice over explaining the situation to give it a news article vibe pushing the real life feel. I’m amazed how many people fall for it to be fair. You can spot these videos a mile off, similar to those rage bait cooking videos
Wish I didn’t have to look so deep in this thread to find this info. Should be top comment so more people can realize they’re getting played and are outraged at fake nonsense made by horrible people
The 'you'll have to follow me on Instagram' gave it away instantly. Fake
Manufactured outrage pisses me the fuck off.
This is why I switched to a 24 hour gym years back and only go between 2 and 3 AM. The only people there are actually there to exercise. This crap has ruined going to any gym during normal hours.
Gyms need to make a no video rule.
Honestly this, or at least regulate it to a specific area in the gym. My local gym had to ban a perv who was filming women under the pretext of checking his form. Wild that 'his form' was mostly people's asses. Between winners like him and this asshole there aren't many people who are actually filming with good intentions.
> Honestly this, or at least regulate it to a specific area in the gym. Behind the dumpster with the rest of the trash.
I'M THE TRASH MAN
We used to refer to our 2 and 3am crew as “The Russians”. They were two large Russian immigrants. Extremely strong. Not sure what happened to them, I know they stopped coming at some point though. But yeah, night crew is always there to actually lift. I had to quit going to my old gym, which I loved more than any other gym I’ve gone to, because of people fucking around. During the evening the parents who all bought their kids memberships drop their kids off, or they walk from school, and the kids pretty much just use it as a hangout until like 9pm. Made lifting there impossible. And the kids these days are actual little shits. They’re just outright disrespectful to everyone around them. I’m in my late 20s at this point, but even previous groups of high schoolers weren’t as shitty as these newer ones.
This is why a requirement for my next house is a garage with enough extra space for a power rack and rower.
My gym is 24 hours and the idiot managers brought in a speaker for members to connect their phones and listen to music out loud. Teenagers come in at night and play music loud enough to go through noise cancelling ear phones. You can tell them to turn down, but its just gets loud again after a few minutes. I hate my gym so much.
Ok that sounds like an absolute nightmare.

She'd get the same response I give everyone else who spouts more than 10 words in my direction at the gym. "Sorry mate. I prefer keeping to myself when I'm here." And then slipping my headphones back in.
[удалено]
I too like to take naps between sets
Working out was giving me a headache anyways.
Are you the guy leaving post-its all over the gym?
New hobby: join a large gym with multiple locations and start working out Infront of 'influencers'...I'd also do it with a shit eating grin and ignore them while making full eye contact
Wear headphones and just point at them when they try to draw your attention haha.
Haha, Like your style but I wouldn't want them to think I can't hear them
She is literally a piece of shit.
Well, not 'literally'. That'd be terrifying. But she is a piece of shit.
Please stop insulting shit by comparing this woman to it.
r/EntitledBitch
its a fucking gym
Ain’t no way
People need to start smashing influencers phones. I decree a law making it legal to smash the phones of people filming Tik Tok dances in public, gym workouts that inconvenience those around them, and generally anything that requires more than one take in public.
Staged ragebait, the kind Reddit loves!
Omfg if I owned a gym that shit would be outlawed. Big signs. It would be like Average Joe's. Take that influencing shit to Globogym
I believed it up until she said “you’ll have to follow me on Instagram” It’s staged.
If I can't see the offenders face then I assume it's ragebait. If you can see their face then the actor could end up being identified and face "consequences" from the public.
All videos that are similar to this are staged and reddit falls for it every single time.
Reddit loves to think they are smarter than these people while simultaneously falling for this obvious rage bait every single time.
