Fitness personality Joey Swoll is taking aim at people recording irresponsibly at gyms and fitness centers. In a recent Instagram post, Swoll took issue with an influencer who was frustrated after gym-goers walked in front of her camera during a training session. 

With a rise in social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok, Joey Swoll has been a busy man in his attempt to correct poor gym etiquette or what he refers to as ‘Toxic gym culture.’ Whether it’s disrespect, hostility, or aggression, Swoll’s hope is to make gyms a safer and more welcoming place by defending people who refuse to speak up for themselves.

In his latest attempt to better the scene, Swoll is addressing a hot topic in fitness: influencers recording at gyms. While some companies have a zero-tolerance policy against recording, other gyms allow it. In the video, Swoll called out the woman who was upset by the gym’s apparent foot traffic. 

“If you’re going to film at a gym that allows you to take videos, you need to do so responsibly with respect to other people. That means not getting upset if someone walks through your camera and then posting it on social media,” said Joey Swoll.

Joey Swoll Says Influencers ‘Need to Stop Nonsense’ at Gyms: “I’m Sorry, You Don’t Own the Place” 

According to Swoll, influencers shouldn’t expect to record at gyms without interruptions as they are open to anyone with a membership. 

“Influencers need to stop this nonsense acting as if they’re filming, they’re taking a video is more important than everyone else in the gym, that they need to stop what they’re doing just because you’re taking a video. I’m sorry you don’t own the place.

Your video is never a priority over anybody at the gym. Let me let you in on a secret, it’s a gym. People know it’s busy, if someone walks by it’s not going to matter. It’s not going to take away from your views or likes or anything about the video,” Joey Swoll shared.  

Before wrapping up the video, Swoll advised the woman to either find a private gym or build one so she can record videos without foot traffic. 

“If you want to go to a gym where nobody walks by, go to a private gym or build your own. Until then, you need to do better than that. Mind your business.”

This isn’t the first time Joey Swoll has gone after influencers recording at gyms. Last month, Swoll made an example out of a woman who filmed a video but set the camera up to watch the man in the adjacent machine more than herself. Swoll underlined that just because she wanted to record herself, doesn’t mean she has the right to record other people without their consent. 

These unfortunate situations are all too common nowadays. In May, Joey put a Chelsea soccer player on blast after he made fun of a man whose pants fell down during a strenuous workout. While some fans may have found the events humorous, Swoll was disgusted by the athlete’s behavior and said he did a poor job of representing his team.

Swoll also went after someone online for recording inappropriately at the gym. A female TikToker mocked a gym-goer’s loud grunts during a training session. Given that gyms are supposed to be welcoming for all types of people, Swoll said it was best for the TikToker to just mind their business, much like the advice he offered to his latest subject in today’s Instagram video.
