Mmm that argument would carry more weight if the video didn't start with her instagram handle. Recording videos to improve your form doesn't need to be shared with the public at large. While I think he was unnecessarily aggressive and threatening about it, I don't think it's unreasonable to ask people to stop filming when you're trying to work out.
How many times have you seen an influencer zoom in on a background character supposedly checking her out, or making a stupid face, or using the equipment wrong? I don't want to be in the background of anyone's videos, either.
Of course, don't threaten people. That's not OK. Filming in the gym for public sharing should be limited to shots framed to exclusively catch you.
Yeah look I think that behaviour is deplorable also but in that moment you can't be assuming it is content unless it's obvious. If the gym doesn't have rules on the matter it isn't his place to scold someone. As for it becoming content I would argue that it is due to his reaction. I cant imagine how her looks or pose would have been a great influencer style post anyway.
You have to assume it's content for your own safety.
That's bollox, if safety was an issue he wouldn't have approached in view of the camera he was giving out about that's ridiculous.
If there was a safety concern approach staff or from out of view and don't start off aggressive and threatening.
