I don’t understand why it isn’t banned honestly. It seems very inappropriate to film someone in a gym without written or verbal (recorded) consent.

Seems most gyms do ban filming, just don't enforce it at all. Either way, it's always so annoying and egomaniacal when people go to public gyms for their Instagram. Build a home gym, people! Leave others out of your ego-stoking!
At the very very least you could set up in a corner or something, but people are just so self absorbed they'll set up in the middle of the gym and act offended when they're called out. You're exactly right, gyms (and more public places) really need to start calling that shit out
What killed me was the dudes who would film themselves in the bathroom mirrors while I was changing into my gym clothes behind them.
I built a home gym and haven't been back inside a public gym in over 2 years.
The way that guy wears his hat kinda bugs me.
But for real though as a fat guy with a gym membership I don't want people recording me and my jiggles.
That is why I go to the gym at 4am. No one there to fuck with me.
