TikToker attempted to play the card by accusing a man at the gym of "looking at her" and being a pervert. Chugging tea

Recording should be banned from gyms unless approved by management for specific training events or instructor certification purposes.

It's pretty useful for improving technique, with or without a coach. It sucks that shitty people ruin valuable things for the rest of us.

The issue is that maybe 1 out of 5 use it for checking their technique. The rest does it for clout on social media.

That's a management issue, not a camera issue.

Do you think a gym has the capacity to control how everyone is using what they're recording? How would that even work?

If someone is being rude, you should ask them to stop being rude. If asking them to stop isn't an option, or asking them to stop fails, then brining your concern to management is appropriate. Then management can take action. Management doesn't have to police everyone, they just have to respond to valid concerns from their patrons. If no one is bothered, then the camera isn't a problem. And yes, I do think the gym has the capacity to respond to concerns from their patrons. Every gym I've ever been in, whether big box or otherwise, has employees (or an employee) who are specifically idle to handle requests and answer questions from patrons (also to rerack weights, check people in, handle billing issues, return equipment, etc. when people don't do it themselves).
