Gyms tighten rules on filming to address privacy and overcrowding concerns

Gyms are cracking down on fitness influencers who film themselves exercising, with some banning the use of recording equipment due to concerns about privacy and overcrowding. Gym chains in the UK have implemented policies to address the issue, such as banning tripods, requiring consent for filming, and allowing members to request the deletion of videos and images. The debate on gym etiquette and filming others' workouts has become a global issue, with incidents of inappropriate filming and behavior being called out on social media platforms. While some gymgoers understand the need for privacy and safety rules, others argue that designated filming areas could be a fair solution.
