Joey Swoll, a well-known gym influencer, has recently caused a stir by criticizing a fellow content creator for what he considers an inappropriate workout at the gym.

As someone who advocates for "gym positivity," Swoll frequently shares content with his online followers, offering his thoughts and opinions on various workout clips.
Recently, Swoll came across a TikTok video posted by a female content creator that he believed went too far.
The video showcased the creator performing a unique exercise, contorting her body with her legs positioned behind her head as she lifted weights using her feet.
Accompanying the footage was a caption that read, "*Gym crush finishes sets and turns around* ... Me working out behind him." The creator added, "Am I being subtle?"
The gymfluencer supposed the woman' sensitive video was not appropriate in the gym
After viewing the video, Swoll expressed his disapproval, urging the creator to refrain from filming such content within the gym environment.
He emphasized that filming should never take priority over respecting others at the gym.
Swoll acknowledged his support for gym humor and comedy but drew a clear line, particularly when it comes to busy commercial gyms.
Swoll highlighted the presence of young people and minors at these establishments, emphasizing that they should not be exposed to or involved in the background of such videos.
He voiced his concern, stating that if he were a parent, he would be livid to discover that videos like the one shared by the woman were being created in a gym where his child worked out.
Swoll asserted that if it were his gym, he would politely ask the creator to refrain from such actions.
However, he noted that given the recurring nature of similar videos on her page, he would ultimately ask her to leave and not return, urging her to "do better" and mind her own business.
Following Swoll's reposting of the woman's video, internet users chimed in with their opinions.
While some argued that the woman was simply minding her own business, others agreed with Swoll's assessment that the video was inappropriate.
Comments ranged from describing the video as "disgusting" to suggesting that the person should be permanently removed from the gym.
