To have "ejected" this guy from the gym studio?

Our large gym has a studio for classes, and they run virtual classes on a big screen. I enjoy going to these in the evening but haven't been for a few weeks.

When I was about ten minutes into the class (combat) a man walked in. He stood looking at the screen for a minute and I assumed he had come to join the class. Anyway, he loaded weights on to a bar and proceeded to do walking lunges up and down the room, not blocking the screen but totally in my line of vision which was really off putting when trying to follow a routine.

I approached him and asked if he planned to join in the class, he said no so I said "you can't come into a class and do your own thing, it's really off putting". He said "is it really a problem for you?" I said yes so he slammed all his weights back on the rack and stormed off. I was left wondering if it's completely acceptable to do this and maybe I'm out of order? I wouldn't do it myself!

I wonder why weights are available in the room?

Probably body pump class

YANBU for some reason the men just think they can do whatever they want wherever they want.

In my gym a few of them, for some insane reason, like to do their lifting in the tiny awkward space in front of the racks with the dumbbells and kettlebells so it's impossible to get to them until said man is finished the set.

There's an entire gyms worth of space to choose from!! Grrrrr
