Get Your Camera Off Me
The toxic trend taking over our gyms

If you’ve been on YouTube or around social media the last couple of days, you’ve likely heard all the hoo-ha around yet another attention seeking, narcissistic woman trying to sully a fellow gym-goer online by filming them in the gym and making accusations of creep behaviour.
The video has since been deleted, but if you haven’t seen it, here’s a reasonable breakdown:
Unfortunately, this is just one of many I’ve seen over the last 12–18 months. The situation is almost always the same:
- Scantily clad woman is doing her thing in the gym
- Has fellow gym-goers in the video without their permission
- Guy looks in her general direction
- Uploads the video to her social media account
- Makes accusations of them creeping on her
What made this particular case all the more egregious was the fact that this woman claimed she didn’t like being sexualised while wearing the skimpiest gym clothing out…
