Would You Want To Be Filmed Whilst At The Gym? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 99/100. wolfie34 (13926)   ranked 1 out of 144 in people6 months ago

I was busy working up a sweat at the gym today (ok, no surprises there!) when the gym instructor came over to me, now normally they ignore me and I am usually invisible, well he asked me if I wouldn't mind being asked some questions about the gym, some local reporters had come in.

Well you know me and my poor self-esteem I asked if they were going to film me he said yes and straight away I said NO, he laughed and walked away, so I don't know what he was implying

Well I saw the film crew come in and interview a few people. I was drenched in sweat, and I think my responses to any questions about the gym would have erred on the negative side because the gym is unfriendly and a few other things I am not happy about, but it's cheap and it's all I can afford. So I expect they'd edit anything I said that wasn't favourable out. So there's no point is there?

So if you were busy exercising or were all sweaty and felt horrible would you want to be interviewed and filmed? Even if you did have positive things to say about the gym?

I am still wondering why the guy laughed when I said no after I said would I be filmed, guess I am being paranoid again!

Hehe Wolfie, I am an attention seeker. I would be right on the middle of the interview probably trying to take over lol.

I am sure the guy who laughed didn't mean anything bad, He was probably just thinking to him self. That it was ok by him and that he was trying to make light of what you said. You know like ok thats cool buddy. smiles. Hope i eplained that right lol. Hugs Wolfie poo

Your the attention seeker and I am the wallflower, you like the heat I like the cold PMSL. I think that's why we get on so well, opposites! If I said I love horror films you'd hate them right? Yes that sounds like a perfectly logical explanation thank you for making me feel good!

Horror films scare me so I dont watch them I watch romantic films and Yes Wolfie I'm the ying and your the yang rofl

I think it would be too funny,Filming me trying to workout would be a comedy show lol. I do not think that I could keep from laughing. I would hope that it would not happen. I can only imagine how bad my hair would look too.


myLot reputation of 99/100. wolfie34 (13926)   ranked 1 out of 144 in people  6 months ago

Funny you should say that, I was actually going to put that in the discussion, I always have short hair, but it's currently long and unmanageable because I want to get highlights done soon, so I can't get it cut yet, grrrrr. The things we do for vanity purposes!

he prob laughed because it is a typical and normal reply for most people to say no to being film and even more so if you are not looking your best if your sweating. I would only say yes if i was fit lol


myLot reputation of 99/100. wolfie34 (13926)   ranked 1 out of 144 in people  6 months ago

I think sweating is a bad design flaw of us humans! There must be a much nicer way for our bodys to cool down!

I don't go to a gym b/c I don't want to work out around other ppl but if I did I surely wouldn't want to be filmed there. It would be like being filmed having your hair colored, while your showering or just after giving birth...some moments are just better left off the 10 o'clock news.

Exactly! They were promoting the gym, but I was b*ggered if I was giving them a freebie and besides one look at me and it would scare them off, so in actual fact I'd be doing them a favour not to be filmed!


myLot reputation of 95/100. twoey68 (9683)   ranked 137 out of 144 in people  6 months ago

LOL Maybe they'd do you like those wrestling stars...put you in a pair of spandex shorts, slather you in baby oil and let you make GRRRR faces at the camera blink LOLOLOLOL

Seriously, if they were promoting the gym why not point out the features of the gym...the state of the art equipment, the nice locker rooms, on floor attendents, ample parking (providing they have any or all of these things). I would believe that more than anybody talking about them...I'd just figure they were paid to say good things about the gym. GRRRRRRRRR lol

Even if I looked my best, I wouldn't want to be filmed. There is no way I'd let someone film me covered in sweat with my hair stuck to my head. Why he laughed is a bit of a mystery. Perhaps he had already assumed you would say no and laughed because he was right.


myLot reputation of 99/100. wolfie34 (13926)   ranked 1 out of 144 in people  6 months ago

You could be right there dear friend. My hair was a mess anyhow, I am going to get highlights this month so it needs to grow and I hate long hair it's so unkempt and untidy, but needs must, maybe when I have highlights, or maybe not!

Simple answer. Nope. I'm fat and uncomfortable with my body. I hate the fact the people even looking at me and to have people video tape me is a definate no.

I go to the gym every so often but I am not a gym fan. The guy may have felt the same way you did about the place and laughed because he would have turned it down too.

It isn't low self-esteem to refuse to be filmed when you are not looking your best. After all, you have the right to refuse to be filmed when you are drenched with sweat. The instructor might have laughed out of amusement....perhaps at the way you said NO.:) Why he laughed is of no significance; but what you feel because he laughed is of great significance. If you just shrug it off with a grin and not think about it any more, there is no problem. But if you dwell on it, giving a variety of shades of meaning to the instructor's laughter or the reasons for the instructor's laughter, aren't you wasting a lot of mental energy? I would like to share an exercise for low self-esteem, one that worked for me. Everyday identify a really good, admirable point about yourself. In 30 days, you will get a collection of 30 points, and a greatly boosted self-esteem.

Would I allow myself to be filmed or photographed? Certainly not! Mine is not a photogenic face. LOL! Drenched with sweat or not, my answer would be a big, resounding no.

Cheers and happy Mylotting

Thank you my friend, I will bear that in mind, I started off with my eyes, I love my blue eyes and I am a good kisser so there's two things already and that's in two days and yes I am wasting good energy on him, I don't need him, he may be a gym instructor but he certainly ain't good for giving out advice. You have made me feel good! Greatly appreciated. All I need now is for the heat to go and I'll be a much calmer, happier wolf!
