Do you film yourself at the gym?

Question

Do you film yourself when you're at the gym? If you do, why? Is it for social media or content? Is it for training purposes (reviewing form, etc.)?

I don't. If I want to critique my form, I'll ask my trainer. And for many reasons, I don't post myself on social media.

No. I’m literally surrounded by mirrors, so I can see my form just fine. I don’t even have a social media presence. I have an old Snapchat I almost never use other than keeping up with a couple of old international friends from years past on here. I don’t do InstaGram or Tik Tok or Facebook or anything where I’m posting pics or videos of myself and what I’m up to. I can take pics and videos and just send them via text to my friends I want to share it with. And unless I’m doing something crazy, had either a good or comically bad play in a hockey game, or caught an extraordinarily large bass, I just don’t really need to share that with anyone. The experiences are for ME, and are probably as boring to onlookers as they are thrilling for myself, haha

I don’t. People who claim they do it for “form” are full of crap. I’ve had dozens of gym memberships spanning decades. Every single one had mirrors on every wall so that you can examine your own form in real time. Which is when you need to make changes. It does absolutely no good whatsoever to do a bunch of lousy reps only to look back at your workout and realize that you did it all wrong.
People say stoopid things to make excuses for their bad decisions. Filming yourself is pure narcissism. Nothing more and nothing less.

Not really, at least not regularly. I think recording yourself can be useful for checking your form and tracking your progress, but I also feel like the gym should be a place where you can focus on yourself without worrying about documenting everything. I do understand why some people enjoy filming their workouts, though. Sometimes it's nice to look back and see how far you've come. 😊

Every now and then I take a photo but that's it.

I don't go to the gym.

Better to work out at home with calisthenics.

Ring dips, pullups, weighted ring pressups, and inverted rows, plus some squats and lunges.

I film myself occasionally to check my form. Not for insta.

But if I could do something cool then I would post it. Why not. Get some of the poontang that way.

I might learn the macaco

I workout at my place, and outdoors... rather than check my form... I do feel it, lol calisthenics will let you know pretty quick... if you're not doing something right

Joshydavid25 · Answer

Nah, I don't really post much on social media at all, and really only use Snapchat and even then that's not much.. I prefer for my gains IRL to speak for themselves.. Plus, I've had the same routine for probably over a year..

Absolutely not that’s a girls thing. The guys will say what’s going on brother. But I have took pictures many years ago when I worked out in my own personal gym at my house hitting the bag

No. And it's not just because my gym doesn't allow phones. I wouldn't use it anyhow. I'm there to workout.
