TikToker and fitness model Makayla Anisa shared a viral moment on the streaming platform that involves a man creepily leering at her while she is working out at the gym. After witnessing the stranger staring at her, Anisa opted to give the creep a taste of his own medicine and began to stare right back at him.
According to the fitness model, the man ogled her while she was lifting weights. During her workout, she realized a stranger was staring at her. After seeing a strange man look her down while lifting, the 23-year-old decided to stare back and finish her set anyways.

Following the awkward encounter, Anisa is adamant that nothing will stop her from getting in a good workout at the gym.
Several women have taken to TikTok and voiced their concerns about ‘creepy men’ making unwanted advancements while they are working out. Weeks ago, a female TikTok user alleges that a gym creep followed her home after her visit to LA Fitness and attacked her. The problem appears to be widespread and many people seemingly swarmed Anisa’s comment section to condemn the man’s actions.

One person responded by saying, “This is exactly what I do!” the commenter said.
Another commenter seemed surprised by the interaction and offered up what she chose to do about the issue.
“I go to an all girl gym for this reason. Sad we even have to think about this. ” the poser said.
Another TikTok user indicated that this problem happened to their daughter too.
“My daughter came home in tears because a group of creeps were staring and whistling at her at the gym. the TikTok user shared.
@makaylaanisa go little rockstar #gymmotivation #glutegains #progress
The TikTok video has since accumulated 1.6 million likes. Fortunately, unlike some of the users before her, the man didn’t follow Anisa home after she finished her workout.
@makaylaanisa who wants to do that. #confidence #gymthoughts #workout
While the TikTok user was fortunate enough to catch the perpetrator red-handed, the ongoing issue is unresolved and women are still grappling with unwanted advances by men at the gym.
I stopped going and built a home gym so i dont have to put up with all the narcissistic half naked dimwitts taking pictures, and posing. I mean mevermind when they hog equipment and have absolutely no gym etiquette, and have no idea who to be courteous to others.
Thank God you do not have millions of creepy TikTok men watching your stupid videos…. oh wait
How about going to the beach, any hawkers? Thinking that humans are not going to stare at other humans is absolutely absurd. Wear loose clothing and see if you get as much attention, i doubt it. I work in a gym, and I see it everyday, don’t try to gloat yourself you’re no different then the millions of other gym members who have to work with lil bro peeps checking them out when they train.
How about putting some real clothes on
His ‘look away’ skills are suspect. Take his man card away….
You go to the gym half naked with extremely tight clothes on and expect people not to stare . It happens to everyone that goes to the gym like that , not just females . Girls stare too , so don’t feel special. If you only knew what they did to the half naked videos in the privacy of their own home . 🤣😂🤣
who focus the camera to the girl.. thats creepy also haha..
Whats the definition of creepy men ? Maybe not handsome enough ?
