During a weight lifting exercise at her gym, a TikToker’s video has taken the world by storm after a creepy man ran to spot her without consent. According to the TikToker who shared the video, the man allegedly followed her around the gym before attempting to help with her powerlifting.
At first, it may seem innocuous but what the man did has caused a major stir online and in just about every fitness corner on the popular streaming application. For anyone with experience training at a gym, surprising someone during a strenuous lift is downright dangerous.
Unfortunately, this problem is pervasive, to the point that women are having to put makeup on their necks to act as a repellent to these unsolicited advances. The man also attempted to help her with the weights before she shooed him away and told him to leave.
“I thought I lost this video. This man had been following me around the gym trying to “help” me my entire lift. 😩 reasons I need a fucking home gym. ” The TikToker shared.

TikToker Shares Video Of Her Being Hassled At Gym
The video has already garnered over 2 million views. In the comment section, many people reacted to the man’s brazenness to interrupt someone who is mid-lift during a tough workout. One commentator immediately addressed how dangerous the situation could have been.
“He could [have easily] injured you just by doing it,” a commenter said. “Glad you stabilized it.”
Another woman that commented also admitted that she had a similar run-in with an older man when she was working out at her local gym. Then another bystander chimed in who claims they work as a gym associate, and mentioned that they would have revoked the man’s membership for his unwanted help.
“Last week after finish my last set on the leg press [an] older man went and started rubbing my knee… telling me to be careful,” one woman stated.
“I had to stop going to this gym [because] I felt so unsafe all the time!” another commenter wrote.
“As a gym attendant, if you showed me this video he would have his membership revoked that day and you would be escorted out at the end of your sesh,” one TikTok commenter said.
After fans requested a follow-up story to the viral video she shared, the TikToker suggests that there is no story and had the following to say.

“There’s no story,” @dezsquats said in a follow-up TikTok. “He was following me around the gym, and I just went off and told him not to touch my fucking bar.”
@dezsquats Reply to @mommyandlogi thankfully that fucking weirdo didn’t even try to defend himself he just went straight back to corner he came from. I don’t go to that gym anymore but stay safe ladies ✨ #CustomersMostLoved #girlswholift #AEHolidayForever #staysafe #ShareTheMagic #creeper #powerliftingwomen #gymstalker #gymcreep #harrasmentawareness
@dezsquats explain that she no longer goes to that gym now:
“He never tried to defend himself or anything,” she shares in another follow-up. “He kind of just got scared and went back to doing whatever workout he was doing.”
@dezsquats Reply to @botanicatina what are you lifting today ✨ #liftingtipsforwomen #liftingtipsforbeginners #girlswholift #staysafe #creeper #gymcreep #harrasmentawareness #gymshark @gymshark @mansportsofficial
The video showing a man attempting unoffered help to a woman powerlifting has gotten the world in a stir for good reason. During exercise, injury is always a possibility and safe gym practices should be enforced for anyone getting their workout done in a public setting.
Who the bleep cares about her creepy workout..REALLY
Only Chad may approach cute girls in gym…if your older or not good looking or not built then your always creepy…
Stay safe guys, ignore them and chase excellence, not girls who film themselves working out.
Whats creepy is filming yourself in the gym
Honestly who cares
This girl is butt ass ugly. I doubt he was creeping, looked like her right side was slipping. Sheesh, what a sorry excuse for views.
Why do these ridiculous things make news , to be fair the only thing I saw that was creepy is her desperate attempt for a few likes and comments, guys stay clear of these creeps.
These types of videos are always suspect setups to me.
Especially her comment about how she thought she had lost the video. Tiktokkers don’t “lose” videos.
Makes it look like she was just trying to establish that it was an undetermined date to keep people from tracking down the truth.
Anything for attention
Perhaps stop wearing spray painted yoga pants, an shooting tic tocs for attention at the gym?
Wow. A gentleman tries to strike up a conversation while helping a young (pronoun goes here) in a safe public setting. She acts like a child having her barbie taken away, then continues to trash him hours later. Moral of the story…. Please someone… I’m lost here…. How dare a man be nice while not wearing a dress….
It’s always polite to spot your buddies
Its getting to the point that men cant even talk to women
These type of broads got the nerve to wear tight clothes for attention then when they get attention they wanna act like the guys a creep I hope were not at the time of age when we can only meet a new woman on a got damn dating app geeeeeèesh
The nerve of this broad
Dudes right shes filming herself for the reason to get likes
Next time you see someone need help ,,let them get crushed and look away,,I don’t even know why these posers lift weights ,snowflakes with cameras!
Pretty sure its a setup… A Tiktok’er Conveniantly films herself, even on a warming up. Random dude walks in with a facemask and beanie making sure he stays anonymously. Grabbing the bar from the side even though it doesn’t help her and doesn’t result in an intimate action.
Not saying gym intimidation isnt real, Just saying this time it’s probably a desperate attention seeking Tiktok’er looking for a way to get viral
Well she is ugly and no one cares
Unbelievable. Its not as if he interrupted her working set. She was done with the lift. All he did was help her rack the drooping right side to minimize the chances of her dropping the bar on herself. Guys do this for each other too. Somebody who actually lifts understands if or when they should jump in to help spot. Seems to me, its everyone else that would benefit from her getting a home gym.
You don’t grab the weight unevenly. If it were closer to her Max she would have dropped the bar on herself.
Guys, guys, guys…. Please please please don’t offer any help when a women is struggling when lifting weights and while she’s recording herself. IT’S A BAIT!!! Let the weights do its thing and move along.
This chick was in the wrong! I’ve been in guyms for 49 yrs and she was struggling…. he saw it… and helped! This is what feminism has done to these broads.. “F” her…
She’s not mentally stable.
Attention WH$RE! 110% DUMB
What a stuck up snotty rude B—-h…the guy did nothing wrong. These chicks dress like the gym is a fashion show with skin tight pants and sports bras….what an attention w——e….probably is staged….if not he should have let the bar slip & made her look like a jack ass….wonder if that would have got posted. Dudes can’t do anything right…no wonder chivalry is dead.
I am 25 year veteran in body building and trained in many countries, and while blokes are often guilty of the extended stare, more often than not, it’s NOT creepy. Admiration is not a sin. That said, today many (women) are obsessed with themselves to somehow seek justification and purpose in their life. Stop filming, enough selfies and enjoy life.. attention seeking loser!
Please, bad form and she was struggling and had the bar under the bar rest. He was trying to help.
She needs to get over herself. Only a 5 with a wide caboose.
Remember women only gyms? Yeah, they have a hard time keeping the doors open due to the lack of readily available external validation. The workout world would be a happier place if they could make it financially. But how else can a 4/5 get this much attention without crying about how a guy noticed she was struggling on the right and tried to help her out?
I find it funny how masculinity is “toxic” until one of the weaker sees needs to be “helped/saved”.
GTFOH
You can honestly tell she needed help she set dude up smh its sad cause it makes us real nice guys become mean and with that beign said he should of let her crush her self i know from now on if i see a damsel in distress im walking off minding my own buisness so i wont end up on tic toc as a creep thanks thirsty attention seeking skum buckets
Hope 1 day soon that bar drops across her neck and she slowly strangles to death as the Men just stand there watching this BITCH die because She Dont Need mans help👍👍👍👍👍😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈
Im creeped out just seen a girly girl lift weights. How about doing something in the kitchen lil mama. The world is sick of yall shit!
I agree but then again we don’t know the full story, both can be wrong or one can be right, that’s humans who are attached to the internet are an nuisance and everyone should stop worrying about relationships and just worry about their careers and their life, we already got enough people in the world we don’t need anymore lol
And there nothing wrong with female or males Working out, gender equality, anyone can create there own path
The fact of the matter is people are subject to their privacy, I get it. Yet, I believe that if this individual was being a creep then she had every right to protect herself. I also believe in equality, so if she was straining with the weight let it fall on her face. The problem with women they think they are something special. I’m married have a daughter and even have sisters. My thoughts is I protect mine… these other women are on their own PERIOD!!!
The only “creep” here is this doofy millennial Tic Toker who obviously has too much time on her hands. Didn’t your mommy and daddy give you enough attention when you were a child? Stay out of the gym and exercise at home!!!!!
U know the feeling, I have had tons of women set up (to) close to me in gyms from Brooklyn to Koln, Germany.
This is ridiculous. She’s working out to look good so men will look at her ass, but complains when someone does.
You don’t get to pick and choose who looks.
If a guy is too old, too fat, too skinny, or just ugly; that doesn’t give you the right to label him a creep and cry wolf.
What I saw is an amateur with a bench too low. She put herself in a bad situation. The body builder saw her OBVIOUSLY struggling to get the weight back up and tried to help. Then she went out of her way to karen him out of the gym. Lesson learned. Let the bitch choke next time.
Hard to make any real determination since we aren’t there. I wouldn’t ever grab one side of the bar though.
The only thing that’s creepy here is her recording herself while working out for tiktok views and victim validation, he doesn’t require her consent to see there smth wrong with her movements. How abt u take her consent before filming him??? He is the victim here, u should be behind bars. Hope men don’t mind anymore and ignore w**** like her when and keep watching while they get crushed. Stat safe guys, chase excellence.
No business even being in a gym. What’s she training for? A big competition coming up? Leave the camera at home. You don’t belong in a real gym.
This isn’t a sexual thing this is a dumb ass thing. I’ve had it in the gym as well and I’m a dude. These have a go personal trainers who think they everyone needs their damn help. They spend more time walking around the gym than training. No one needs their help and if anyone did they would ask. I remember one dude ran over to help me when I was doing bench press with 50kg bells. I didn’t ask for his help and that’s why I got to the gym with headphone.
If you have experience you can help some woman only if you know she is not exercising and lifting the cotrect way however don’t disturb while someone is actually lifting the right way unless you want to make a new friend you can do that after the person do particular exercise
Powerlifting with no spot ? Lol your whole argument is invalid you said he was creeping yet you say he went back to his workout ,video shows a genuine guy trying to help a supposed powerlifter with no spotter. Lol 🤣 sounds like some attention whoring going on mixed with a bit of feminism LMFAO ,
We will always be stronger than you sweet heart suck it up .
I see I’ve found where the angry incels come to comment smh
Well it works both ways
Was this guy actually following her
Or was he just being helpful and she doesn’t have the social skills to turn him away kindly
Most likely she’s just seeking attention but if she says move on then move on.. she’s not that big of a deal gents lol
Well then wear baggy ugly sweats, old ass tenna shoes and huge tee shirt with a bleach mark on it and trust me no one will look at you.
Males help males in the same way.
Get over yourself!!
It doesn’t droop on the right until he comes up and startles her. He’s an idiot but so is she for worrying more about filming and not having a spotter when lifting free weights.
