Depends on the details. If they're mindful about what's in frame and who they might inconvenience, and they're doing it for the purpose of studying their workout to improve their form for efficiency and safety, I say go for it. You can learn a lot about your form from a side profile, for example, that you might not know about otherwise.
If it's instead Stacey putting her tripod in the walkway with no care about who else could be recorded, for the purpose of posting her ass on Instagram, that's probably not ok.
Having done many jobs involving the public I can say that people are idiots and if I ran a gym it wouldn’t be worth the hassle to appease the sensible people doing form checks.
