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.
