An F45 gym in Hastings has cancelled someone's '7 day experience' and offered her a refund, because she didn't want to be filmed while working out.

The gym-goer received an email saying that because she didn't want to sign the waiver to be filmed for social media, they couldn't guarantee she wouldn't end up in them anyway.

Ekant Veer is Professor of Marketing specialising in Social Media at the University of Canterbury and he joined Simon Barnett and Phil Gifford to discuss the laws and ethics around this issue.
