First, plant a tree between your house and the gym (I recommend Oak since it is the most compatible with male human anatomy). Then, wait 20~ years for it to reach maturity, and rest your selfie stick on one of its many branches. This will drastically reduce the lever arm and thus drastically reduce the torque required to maneuver it.
