Oh hell no. You take that social media influencer bullshit out of the gym and take it home.
My strategy is to just keep some copyrighted Disney music on my phone and blare it if things get too dicey.
This guy should have been our next president. That’s exactly the kind of outside the box thinking this country needs.
This is also unironically a strategy cops use when they are in a crowd being filmed and potentially unlawfully or excessively harming people.
Its the evolved version of accidentally blocking your body cam / forgetting to turn it on / oops the footage got deleted and its no ones fault somehow.
Copyright law is the only one that matters apparently.

Exactly! Somewhere a lawyer for the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) just breathed a happy content little sigh.
Are you saying they should…
Let it Go
Imperial march it is that way everyone will know I am the good guy in the situation
Recommendations?
I always hear people complaining about “those kids” but I just don’t see it at the gym I go to, other than like the occasional mirror selfie. Maybe it’s just because the gym I go to isn’t the type to attract influencers?
But also, recording yourself lift is a great way to see things that you’re doing wrong that you wouldn’t otherwise notice
Mirror selfies seem like a very reasonable thing to do at a gym, particularly if you are looking for progress pics, taking the same picture in the same location while it’s still in your mind.
Yeah these people don’t record themselves to see what they’re doing wrong…
Better to record yourself, without mirrors. This let’s you focus on how the lift feels as you’re doing it, rather than how it looks.
I’ve definitely seen influencers recording themselves when I went to an LA fitness for a while. They were usually pretty respectful of the space and chose places out of the way if they could.
I’m just so happy my Box doesn’t have any mirrors. Makes the place feel serious. And homey.
Where is the punchline?
“people who get upset for their video workout being mildly interrupted in a public gym are toeing the punchline”
Somebody call the whambulance, the “influencers” are salty!
The modern alternative goes something like this;
“Omg look at this dude harassing me like all I want to do is work out but this guy was looking down as he walked by me look I got it all on this video of me exercising in very revealing camera angles I’m live streaming to these strangers online!”
Tbf, I wouldn’t tell someone they dropped their keys during a workout, Odds are they saw it and don’t want to disrupt a set so they let them sit there until later.
“Excuse me you dropped your keys”
“Nah I put them there while I did my set”
“Oh okay sorry”
You expect me to stop and talk to you while I’m in the middle of deadlifting 400 pounds as many times as I can? Don’t talk to me!
Believe me, I don’t want to.
Please tell me, if I dropped my keys. I hate the hassle of being locked out. If just a few words can prevent having to break into my own home, then please say them.
As a wise philosopher* once pointed out, we only need look to a calendar to see that our days are numbered.

I use the term loosely. Pretty sure this was a Garfield joke.
It follows that somewhere out there, someone is numbering them.
