Making these work in fitness

Film your sets anyway. The same clip works as a form check, a before-and-after asset, and B-roll for three future videos.
Name the exact exercise, weight, and rep range on screen. Specific numbers make lifters stop scrolling to compare against their own.
Shoot vertical at the gym during off-peak hours so you can set the phone at chest height without blocking equipment or people.
One video, one problem, one fix. 'How to fix knee cave in squats' tends to beat a general leg-day tour because viewers self-select.
