Had an influencer encounter at the gym this morning. Their session lasted about 10 minutes before a staff member escorted them out.

Local council gyms don't play that shit it seems.

That would have been pretty funny to see

A fitness influencer (or wannabe one) was recording an exercise set at the gym. The gym has very strict policies about recording equipment (forbidden without a permit). Several people complained, including a trainer who was running a class behind this person. Staff member came over, grabbed the phone, turned it off and essentially said "Let's go" and started walking away.

Person didn't even have a membership and were on day 3 of a free trial too.

Oooh. You just know that they’ve tried that at other gyms too.

100%

Gotta build up that brand before 'investing' into an actual membership
