Members of a Les Mills gym have been told they can only wear certain brands of clothing if they plan to stand near the front of some fitness classes, because they were being filmed.
However, a Les Mills spokesman said it was optional for members of its central Auckland gym to attend the classes that were being held especially to film.
Club member Emily Winstanley posted a photo of the notice to Twitter last night. Under the heading Filming Gear, the sign advised of an "exciting new partnership" with athletic apparel brand Reebok.
"While you are free to wear anything you like, please be aware the participants in the first few rows may only wear Reebok, or Les Mills Clothing," the notice said. "Non-branded clothing is also acceptable."
It also advised its members where to purchase their own Reebok-branded clothing.
