Joey Swoll called it "one of the most disgusting things" he's seen at the gym
Joey Swoll is proving once again that he’s not afraid to stand up for respectful gym behavior as he took aim at another gym-goer’s actions.
Swoll has built a reputation for calling out what he sees as inappropriate or disrespectful actions in gym spaces, something that’s earned him a lot of support from fellow fitness enthusiasts.
Recently, he criticized someone for snapping a selfie in the men’s locker room, where an unsuspecting person was undressed in the background. That post drew significant attention online.
In another instance, Swoll addressed a man who was upset because a woman chose the treadmill next to his, despite many other machines being available.
Swoll criticized the man for recording her without consent and trying to shame her online.
In his latest video, Swoll expressed frustration after coming across a clip showing a woman appearing to straddle a barbell.
"This is one of the most disgusting videos that I have ever seen in the gym," he said in a social media post shared on November 5.
"Videos like this are popping up all over social media and it needs to stop," Swoll added, visibly frustrated by what he saw as a trend of inappropriate gym videos.
"People are sick and tired of it."
He then called on gym owners to watch for this kind of behavior and take action by removing individuals who engage in it.
"I had to cover that woman up as she squats down, puts her private parts on a barbell, spreads her legs and rubs herself on it," Swoll added, suggesting that the woman’s motive might have been to attract more subscribers on OnlyFans.
While Swoll clarified he doesn’t oppose OnlyFans creators, he urged them to keep such content out of the gym to respect others who are there to work out.
"You need to do better. Mind your own business," Swoll concluded his message.
Reactions to the video have been strong, with one viewer commenting that content like this makes them want to "weep for civilization."
Another viewer added, "Why can't they buy their own equipment and do this at home."
Many other viewers agreed, labeling the video as "gross" and expressing disappointment over such public displays.
