We go to the gym to get stronger and take care of ourselves, but let’s be real: in the middle of a workout, most of us are anything but camera-ready. Between the sweat, the heavy breathing, and that final desperate rep, it’s not exactly our most flattering moment. (Although if you’re somehow still looking flawless mid-burpee, congrats—just maybe keep that to yourself.)
So it’s no surprise that in such a vulnerable space, plenty of people would rather not be filmed at all. That’s why this Redditor spoke up after realizing he kept ending up in the background of another gym-goer’s videos. He politely asked her to keep him out of the shot, but she didn’t take it well—and before long, drama ensued.
Read the full story below.

Honestly, women like this, throwing out these accusations bc they didn't get their own way, & were pulled up about their actions, make it hard for those who ARE genuinely harassed, etc. I'm female, and I would be pissed if I saw videos with me sweating it up in the background. And as the bloke said, it was a private gym, and phones should be left in their lockers.
