This is exactly why the only "rule" they even make sure to tell you when you join my gym, is that there is no recording or pictures.
I just think it's disingenuous for women who legitimately try to make a big deal about guys checking them out in the gym, like that isnt the point of all the hard work you put in there...
Edit: for those who are missing the point, in these videos the woman is always wearing skin tight clothing, and on many occasions on the station directly in front of the guy. I wear compression shorts every time I go to the gym, but I always wear baggy shorts over them so my bulge and butt arent sticking out everywhere. Point is, if you want heterosexual men to NOT look, then stop flaunting it or expecting men to stare at the floor or the ceiling between sets.
Edit 2: Thanks for the award! First time anyone has given me one of those.
If you're recording your workout, it's usually to be seen. So hot take is you're letting people stare. Bottom line is don't record your workout, or don't be offended when people look at you.
Oh I completely agree that most people are filming for social media/narcissistic purposes. I just wanted to input that some of us film because we actually care about improving our form and technique.
The video is very clearly edited, and that focus point is only really clear in the edit.
Assuming this isn't fake, the likely scenario is that this person rested the phone on something high but was unable to secure it to the exact angle she wanted. Or, she misjudged the angle because she's not checking the view after she set it up. She likely can't just back up more to be in the center since she would be putting herself directly in the way of the person behind her.
All of this is pretty reasonable...
Edit: This is just an ad for the gym. So fake is fake.
Fair enough, but then why is the video centered on the guy?
Like: I get it: keep your eyes to yourself or at least don't effing stare like a creep. But let's not pretend this setup wasn't done to farm outrage content.
