Well, it’s always the old guys who complain the most. Yet they always seem to go to the gyms where it happens the most. Almost all the gyms in Vegas has people filming. Personal trainers here do it all the time during training sessions with clients. The clients love it.
Basically the older guys don’t seem to realize they’re the minority in this issue. And they don’t understand that the gyms love it. They want everyone to see their gym and want to train at it. Especially here in Vegas. Jay cutler always says right away what gym he’s at when he films. Several of the gyms even have photo areas all over them. The influencers and competitors do most of the marketing for them in some cases.
I think the bigger issue is that gyms are filled with more younger people. And certainly there’s a lot more women in the gyms than ever before. And with more women training, the gyms have changed. There’s zero hardcore gyms here now. We know what Vegas gyms were like 20-25 yrs ago. Now theirs zero market for a hardcore/meathead gym.
THANKS FOR SUCH WONDERFUL INSIGHT ON THIS. I GUESS EVERYONE IS WRONG! OH, EXCEPT FOR YOU AND THE INFLUENCERS WHO FILM! I GUESS WE'RE BEING UNREASONABLE FOR WANTING TO GO TO THE GYM AND NOT TRIP OVER A WORTHLESS TRIPOD. MANY THANKS FOR PROVIDING YOUR INVALUABLE "FLY ON THE WALL" PERSPECTIVE OF THE FILMING STUDIO GYMS OF LAS VEGAS!!
People who film are the minority. They're nothing but pests. Nothing worse than when the gym is busy and these idiots show up with their film crews, lights, and multiple tripods. Then they begin taping off areas and kicking members off benches because it's going to be used in the video.
No one admires them. Gyms don't need marketing from these influencers. So what about the perverts who got caught filming people on the toilets and nude in the showers? Sounds like you endorse that and consider it part of the gym's marketing as well?
I've seen members kick tripods across the floor and drop weights on people's phones as they record their stupid videos. I've seen people get in fights with people filming their videos. And each time, I've seen the management kick out the people who are filming. Gyms are not film studios.
No the clients do not "love it" when trainers record them. So where are all these videos of the clients who you claim love being filmed? I've never once read a client's testimonial where they raved about how incredible it was to be filmed and how their life changed for the better because of the filming.
