I don't really feel this is arbitrary at all. And I can draw you a very clear line between skills that you mentioned earlier such as pulling a bow and arrow, and twerking: sexual invitation (implied or purposeful). One does not do a toe touch or pull a bow and arrow to advertise themselves sexually. And while some creeps may take it that way, the overall goal of performing a toe touch is not to invite or entice any sexual activity, even though one's crotch may be momentarily visible.I totally agree that a gym is within its rights to prohibit behavior like that, but that doesn't make the ban any less arbitrary when the gym permits any of the multitude of other dance moves/body positions that aren't objectively more "wholesome" or "Christian" (whatever that means anyway) than twerking.
Twerking on the other hand, a dance performed by spreading one's legs, placing your hands on your knees or the floor, and shaking your butt (and other parts) in the air is a dance devised to be sexually attractive. It is supposed to entice people to look at that area of you. It is meant to invite sexual attention. It is inherently sexual in nature.
That is the difference between twerking and pulling a bow and arrow
