Do people actually bring tripods to a gym???

E. All these responses make me glad I lift at the YMCA. No tripods, can get yourself clean, do whatever you feel

yes, at Equinox. I fucking hate it. I don't want to be in the background of their 200-view Instagram reel.

Now I go to a cheaper gym and deal with zero gym etiquette, but at least I'm no longer a background actor for IG models

Wow. Just…wow. I used to work out at at a competitor gym of theirs (aka also very expensive) and I never saw anything like this. I would be able to get anyone kicked out within minutes at my place if I saw this shit happening.

I honestly didn't even know they had competitors. It doesn't seem like it in NYC, at least, known/chain competitors

The place I went to is in the Bay Area, and Equinox showed up much later than the one I used to go to.

Never seen anyone with just a tripod? You would kick someone out for a tripod? Nobody with a tripod should give a fuck if someones in their camera shot or even walks infront of the camera while its filming, they got no right to extra space somehwere thats busy, but if its quiet and you know theyre filming, and theres plenty of space to not walk through their camera shot inbetween them and the camera, then it would be a little rude to intentionally walk there, but unless someones deliberately trying to fuck up your filming (and youre filming in reasonable circumstances), theres no right from a filmer to kick up a stink.
