Had an influencer encounter at the gym this morning. Their session lasted about 10 minutes before a staff member escorted them out.

Local council gyms don't play that shit it seems.

That would have been pretty funny to see

It definitely was. Grins all around.

Oooh what happened?

A fitness influencer (or wannabe one) was recording an exercise set at the gym. The gym has very strict policies about recording equipment (forbidden without a permit). Several people complained, including a trainer who was running a class behind this person. Staff member came over, grabbed the phone, turned it off and essentially said "Let's go" and started walking away.

Person didn't even have a membership and were on day 3 of a free trial too.

Oooh. You just know that they’ve tried that at other gyms too.
