In recent years we have seen countless videos from the gym of people filming themselves working out or even filming others to make fun of or embarrass.
In many gyms filming is not allowed, in some gyms, it is allowed if you only record yourself and not other people.
There is a good reason why filming is not allowed in the gym because gyms worldwide want their members to be able to train in peace without being risked of being filmed and made fun of.
Many people are new to the gym and may not know the right technique in all exercises and are there to learn.
If someone films those people and makes fun of them on social media there is a high chance these people will not be back to that particular gym, that means the gym loses business and puts a bad reputation on that gym because that person is going to warn all of his friends to not train there.
BULKING or CUTTING? We teamed up with the number one bodybuilding supplement brand on the market to help you take your results to the next level. A free custom supplement plan designed to enhance your results.
That is one of the reasons why filming is not allowed in many gyms.
Most people filming in the gym are doing it to record a 1 rep max or just simply see how their form is, while others are doing it to post online or trying to be gym influencers.

Joey has talked about how many people feel insecure going to the gym and that we should help and encourage everybody in the gym so it will be a positive environment.
In a recent video, Joey responds to a woman gym influencer who claims to be using a machine she isn’t even on, a gym member goes to the machine in order to use it but the gym influencer who is on another machine stops the innocent gym goer right in her tracks as she goes to the equipment to use it.
If you are using multiple equipment at once in the gym it is good gym etiquette to let people work in, because if you are using two or more machines there is no reason why other gym goers wouldn’t be able to work out in the machine you are currently not using in between sets.
Joey Swoll responded to this entitled woman gym influencer and here’s what he had to say:
Gym Influencer Woman Refuses To Share Gym Equipment she is not using (video)
So let me get this straight, you are upset that this woman didn’t ask you if you are using a machine that you are not on, not actively using while you are on another machine actively hitting a set, and then you want to post a video to bash her and say that she is rude, doesn’t have common courtesy and use her as an example what you think good gym etiquette should be really? First of let me say, that woman did nothing wrong, I also think there is nothing wrong with supersets, however when you are at a gym that gets busier, like a planet fitness and somebody walks up to use the machine that you are super setting on, it’s normally a good gym etiquette to let it go or to have a conversation with them like a human being and just work in with them, but no you decided to post this to bash her just for likes and attention and somebody in the comments pointed this out to you, and you responded and said people in that gym and that person “don’t have common sense”. You know it’s really sad that people want to post videos like this, it’s really sad that you think you own this gym and can treat people this way. You need to do better, mind your own business.
