I always hear people complaining about “those kids” but I just don’t see it at the gym I go to, other than like the occasional mirror selfie. Maybe it’s just because the gym I go to isn’t the type to attract influencers?

But also, recording yourself lift is a great way to see things that you’re doing wrong that you wouldn’t otherwise notice

Great in your own privacy, but an asshole move if you're also "accidentally" filming other people at the gym.

Mirror selfies seem like a very reasonable thing to do at a gym, particularly if you are looking for progress pics, taking the same picture in the same location while it's still in your mind.

Yeah these people don't record themselves to see what they're doing wrong...

Better to record yourself, without mirrors. This let's you focus on how the lift feels as you're doing it, rather than how it looks.

Bruh, I've recently got a rowing machine and was sad at how I couldn't see if I'm doing the moving and postures right. Turns out I can and very easily at that. Thanks for the tip.

I've definitely seen influencers recording themselves when I went to an LA fitness for a while. They were usually pretty respectful of the space and chose places out of the way if they could.

I'm just so happy my Box doesn't have any mirrors. Makes the place feel serious. And homey.
