    Oh hell no. You take that social media influencer bullshit out of the gym and take it home.

    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

      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.

      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.

      “people who get upset for their video workout being mildly interrupted in a public gym are toeing the punchline”

    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.
