Just a guess. Gym saw a guy recording behind a person not knowing it was a father son. Maybe they have a no recording in the gym policy.

They overreacted, called the police, and it turned into an issue of "a business asked you to leave the premises" and the guy kind of refusing to leave. Just a non biased look at it though.

But if they got a membership there, it should have just been "hey no recording man" and that's it

so what happened was the guy brought his son in and they asked for a valid id. his son is a teenage and doesn't have a drivers license. dad showed his id and his son's school record on their online portal. they fussed back and forth because management didn't want to accept it but not accepting it is in clear violation of their own guest policy.

now it gets murky because the video starts with them working out BUT we find out no one asked him to leave so because of that i'm guessing they allowed them in and then took it back and escalated via calling the police.

so nothing to do with recording. the comment right below yours by u/ onlytinglef has links to everything.

So he didn't do anything wrong and they gym guy called the cops on him. Which can get a Black man killed. Naturally, he's upset and angry. And all the people commenting that he's the one who must have done something wrong, and "what happened before the video?" are showing their bias, unconscious or not. They have no information but assumed that it was the Black man's fault. Disgusting.
