Media personality and actress Pearl Modiadie is fed up with people bringing tripods to the gym. She is considering setting up a home gym because she feels that she can’t workout properly with all the cameras around.
New Gym Rules Needed
While many people enjoy keeping fit and going to the gym, and some even like recording themselves while working out, this is not everyone’s cup of tea. Pearl has hinted that new rules are needed to address this issue. Taking to her Twitter timeline, she blasted people for recording at the gym. “I need to set up a proper home gym because these tripods that people have set up at the gym are not it. Can’t even workout freely, always checking the camera isn’t pointing your way. New gym rules please,” she wrote.

Mixed Reactions from Followers
Her post was met with mixed reactions from her followers. “I’ve been saying gyms should consider having designated areas for fitness influencers to record their workouts or take pictures. It’s uncomfortable trying to workout next to someone who is recording,” replied one follower. “Yea it’s better you set up your own gym sana because what if that’s someone’s job though? Let’s be respectful of other people’s grinds,” added another.
Prince Kaybee Echoes Sentiments
Music producer and DJ Prince Kaybee echoed Pearl’s sentiments, saying that after switching to working out at home, he finds it hard to use public gyms. “I’ve always thought there’s no need to be in a public gym if you can afford a home gym. I’ve been in public gyms but since my own I find it hard to go out but with the travelling you forced to go,” he said.
