'Gymfluencer' Joey Swoll Gets Woman's Gym Membership Canceled After She Mocked Man Working Out

The influencer, known as Allie Singer on social platforms and by her handle @the_rippedbarbie, captured footage of a fellow gym-goer who was exercising shirtless. 

In the video, she proceeds to make comments about his physique, expressing her disapproval of him working out without a shirt.

The video, once posted on Instagram, quickly became a source of controversy, drawing criticism from many users who condemned Allie for filming someone without their permission and for her negative remarks.

Despite the growing outrage, Allie Singer appeared unbothered by the backlash, dismissing her critics as mere 'keyboard warriors'.

It was at this point that Joey Swoll, a well-respected figure in the fitness influencer realm, decided to address the situation through his own video response.

Joey acknowledged that Allie might prefer a gym environment where it is mandatory to keep shirts on during workouts. 

However, he clarified that the gym in question, Absolute Recomp located in Texas, does not enforce such a dress code. 

He emphasized, "Listen, I get it, you want to train at a gym where everyone keeps their shirt on – fine, but this gym isn't one of them."

"I called Absolute Recomp in Texas and their rules say you can train with your shirt off, and you signed up there."

He pointed out that training shirtless was allowed according to the gym's policies, which Allie had agreed to by becoming a member.

Joey also criticized Allie for her lack of respect for privacy, highlighting the inappropriateness of filming someone without their consent for social media. 

He firmly stated: "Therefore you need to follow the rules, including the rule that says you don't film people without their consent to post on social media – and people tried to tell you this! Yet you arrogantly posted your response when they defended this man, and you didn't listen."

The aftermath of this incident saw Allie Singer's membership at Absolute Recomp gym being revoked, as the gym management was not pleased with her actions. 

Joey Swoll concluded his message with a straightforward piece of advice:

"Your membership has been canceled, you need to do better. Mind your own business."

The incident has sparked a wider conversation in the comments section, with people sharing their thoughts and personal preferences regarding gym etiquette.

One person expressed their approval of Joey's stance, saying: "Love this. I hugely prefer gyms that don't allow shirts off, but I would never shame anyone for doing it at gyms where it's allowed!"

Another shared their anxiety about gym culture, writing: "I signed up for planet fitness today and when I tell you THIS IS NY WORST FEAR. I'm hoping Planet Fitness is safer."

A third comment highlighted the supportive atmosphere that gyms should foster: "The gym should be nothing but motivation and helping people grow."

This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of respecting others' privacy and the varied policies of different gyms regarding workout attire.
