    They probably charge for the media pass and give it to anyone who pays. They aren’t solving the problem they’re just profiting from it.

      Broseph, their intent is to discourage this practice and that’s definitely what a $ charge will do. As you can see, they also mentioned only during off peak hours, and having a system allows them to cap the number of people doing it.

      This is a mitigation step as they attempt to compromise between two of their core customer demographics. Ragepost moar, this is a smart move on their part

        Lmao what part of my comment was raging. I was just pointing out something about the situation that people might not realize. Not every comment on the Internet is written angrily.

      Looks like it’s a win/win. Influencers can still make their videos and if they are being disruptive the gym can just remove their pass. With a flat out ban they’d lose a lot of money.

      If the influencers (I still hate that word or the fact that it’s a thing) are making a living from their videos they’d just claim the pass as a tax deduction too. Come to think of it, I wonder if they’d claim their gym memberships already?

        Claiming it as a tax deduction doesn’t make it free. It’s basically just a 30% discount, depending on your marginal tax rate.

        And if they’re shooting in a gym frequently, I can almost guarantee the answer to that is yes. Film critics deduct every time they go to the movies. Game streamers deduct their games and computer hardware. Why wouldn’t a fitness influencer deduct their gym membership?
