People go to the gym to look better, they don't go there because they enjoy the pain of lifting pointlessly heavy things over and over. They want to look better so they can find a mate and breed. It is what humans do, so it makes sense that once they start looking good, they film themselves looking good, and that new suit they bought, the one that shows off their curves, their bulges, their muscles and that healthy flesh without flabs.
Seems one thing goes with another.
And then the offers pour in, and soon they are 9 months prego, rich and never need to work again.

I think cameras should be banned in all gyms.

Gives me a good laugh

This is terrible. I'm so disappointed. Well. I guess I won't go to the gym today. I'm so sad. I was really hoping I would go to the gym today. I didn't go yesterday. I didn't go the day before that. Or the day before that day before that. And I won't go today. Because they are filming at the gym. And that is wrong and not fair. And that is why I am not going to the gym today. No, I just can't. Not now. I hope they are satisfied.

I mean, it's their business and I don't really have any issues with it unless they're actually disruptive to others then that's kind of a problem. Otherwise do your thing and enjoy. I'll be hitting the gym again in the next few months and the pool and I don't think I would be able to even find the time. If they can do it AND manage to still get a good workout in without bugging anyone or hogging equipment, good for them! ^•^

Luckily I have not experienced that yet. But if I do, I will keep walking in front of the camera.

The CrossFit gym my husband and I go to, and my KB dojo do not allow any filming

I think cameras...and phones should be banned inside the "workout" area... there is no need for it...if you want to take pics..go home or somewhere else for that. Now if you are a professional trainer and you have your "crew" then you need to do your work after hours and rent the gym or find a different establishment. BUT that wont happen so you have to go to places like Planet Fitness and a few others.

Not just at the gym. Filming all over the street 24/7

Like themselves a lot. Showing gratitude in a way :)

idk i don't go to either lol gyms or tiktok

Whos everyone.. ....

This newer generation lives onlife life. Their life depends on views and likes and dislikes. 😁

For most probably just better to focus on workout

A potential lawsuit waiting to happen.

It's the new narcissism.

It`s dumb. Go to the gym do what you went there for and go home.

Attention starved bimbos

It's like today's ripple effect of what was originally the gold rush made popular in a Chaplin classic called The Gold Rush, perhaps btw the best comedic silent film ever!! His other classics aren't as funny so I just need to make this clear so Chaplin experts will correct themselves before replying to this comment.

It's just the way the world is now.
Every generation has something the older folks can't fathom.
Mine had BMX's.

I do not film myself during any physical activity.

I've no desire for stardom; Tik Tok or anything else.

annoying af

I don't do TikTok so don't really care.

insecure because they want attention. i get disgusted by those who only film themselves for 2 seconds of doing a workout and then leave. and they get all this money and sponsors while i bust my ass at work. times have changed

often it's to check their form? idk I think people overdo it with the belts the cameras throwing weights

People do things for different reasons and idk theirs, so I have no thoughts on the matter.

Idk I guess it demonstrates t's a bit of a me me ..me attitude

If they are ego lifting probably for contents to post. Some people do it to see their progress or if they have a coach to offer coach critiques through that video to improve in lifting technique. People at the gym film themselves for all kinds of reasons
