Thinking someone is recording me at the gym?

[MsClaireM]

For the last few mornings a younger man has either used the yoga matts directly behind the stair machines and sets his camera with the back towards me or when I'm on the treadmill he'll start using the next 2 over and will put his phone in the cup holder with the back facing me.
Sorry if I'm being paranoid I'm not entirely sure how to address this

UpdateAfter asking them he's been seen recording a few women so they've terminated his account. Sorry for the panic question

Sounds a little suspect if he's recording you he probably thinks your hot but out of his league. If that's the case then that would play into your favour you could walk up to him with the guise of talking to him and check out his phone.

If he's recording you he'll probably scrabble to turn his phone off as he's not expecting that, if he's not recording then at least he's not a total perv he might just be shy.

[MsClaireM]

I'm not sure about that first part lol!
He's around the early 20's and he's reactive to if I look in his direction by either waving or smiling, if that's anything to go by?

YO!! I gotta tell you this crap 😱 over here some dude was sitting behind this woman doing yoga in Virgin Active. HE WAS VISIBLY MASTURBATING.
It was caught on the cctv footage and yeah..
The world is full of creeps.
He was most certainly a virgin who was active

[MsClaireM]

Oh? Not that severe to my knowledge but I'll ask the owners to look into it

[have_a_good_day]

It could develop into some serious stalker infatuation stuff..
So be careful.
It's good that you have the warewithall (? never used the word before, always wanted to, don't know if that's how it is spelled) to notice strange things happening around you.

[MsClaireM]

Wherewithal is to do with money? And thank I'll try and have a word with the owners

[have_a_good_day]

Oh... My bad...
I meant something like awareness.. But just a more fancy word for it

Next time you see him doing this move away and if he follows you then I would say he is definitely recording you

I know YouTubers will often record themselves working out in the Gym and then they will post that footage to their channel and unfortunately when they film themselves working out they are also filming other people

[On_cloud_wine]

If you have a smart phone, the government can be watching you too. You go in public, someone’s watching you.. Who cares.

now, if there’s a camera in the girls’ locker room, that’s when I would go to the authorities.

[On_cloud_wine]

You just reminded me of this one girl who is constantly looking in all directions like she’s being watched. Don’t get to that point, because people will definitely stare like your high on coke or something

[MsClaireM]

Dont see how that applies to my post?

[On_cloud_wine]

Basically I’m saying you’re paranoid and men will be men. But you already know this

[MsClaireM]

Oh sorry

[Pummel]

Do you have a guy friend or husband? If not take a male friend with you, and I am not judging but make sure that this guy is... assertive.

Did I use the right language there?

The reason I say this, and I am not trying to scare you but my sister had this happen to a friend of hers at a PLANET FITNESS, these guys were taking secret video of both women and men and posting it online.

The guy threated her girlfriend with violence and when she came the following week... let's just say she didn't bring the right guy to talk to these criminals.
Be careful friend. That's all.

[AnthonyBelanger]

Because you are a beautiful and attractive woman, this guy sparked this interest in doing these things. I am not accepting his attitude, totally undue and wrong. I think it would be interesting for you to take this problem to the direction of the academy and set up a trap to catch this stupid. PLEASE BE CAREFUL MAINLY IN THE PARKING LOT. God bless you

[AnthonyBelanger]

I had a similar problem: I live alone, the pool at my house has a screen and dense and tall bushes, so I can't be seen, so I usually tan myself naked... my neighbor's sister used to put a ladder nearby from the bushes and screen and watched me and also recorded videos... when I found out what she was doing I made a prank...

[AnthonyBelanger]

don't worry. we are here to help you. God bless you

[MrCommodore]

Yeah no harm double checking, and asking gym staff to keep an eye.

[MsClaireM]

Know if I ask them to check cameras or anything? I just dont want to be that person

[MrCommodore]

It could be innocent, some people carry their phone like that. But if you notice it happening again, it might be worth reporting. Like even reporting that you are uncertain, but worth highlighting it.

[MsClaireM]

Been the past 2 weeks and thank you

[MrCommodore]

Ok, so not a one off coincidence.

[MrCommodore]

Thats good news!! Good job

[ManMale]

he can look at women 1000 times sexier than you online. why would he go through all this to record you? If he is actually doing it, he needs an immediate thing to jerl off to, otherwise, he is not doing it

[MsClaireM]

Oh ok sorry

[buddies]

🔥😆

[MsClaireM]

Sorry?

[scuff1986]

Either question him about it, or report it to the gym staff... I guess

[MsClaireM]

Thank you

[scuff1986]

Your welcome

[douride2]

This is one of the reasons I quit going to the gym. Report him to the staff.

[MsClaireM]

I'm sorry and I'll ask

[douride2]

What would you be sorry for?

[MsClaireM]

That you had to quit going to the gym because of someone's behavior?

[douride2]

Oh I get what you mean now silly me.

[Paulychicago10]

As soon as he gets near you, put more space between the two of you. If he follows or adjusts his settings, confront him

[MsClaireM]

I have before and he tends to leave what he's doing and comes back a few minutes later

[Paulychicago10]

Then keep doing so and maybe he will figure it out that you know what he's doing.

[MsClaireM]

Thank you

[Paulychicago10]

Good luck. You could always invite a friend and have them way behind you and have them look at his phone

[Iron_Man]

Next time you see somebody flash their cell phone that you record them back and show the front desk that

[knight2468]

Change your place and watch if he follow u then d definitely there is something happened

[knight2468]

U are right after all

[DCSTVT]

Could be a coincidence but he sounds like a creep.
