Taking care of your fitness goals and being a regular gym-goer comes with its own set of challenges. However, women sometimes have to come across problems that are completely avoidable yet ever-present. Fitness trainer Heidi Aragon recently experienced one such instance. She let everyone on social media know exactly what happened.
Heidi Aragon shared a video of her confronting a man who was allegedly staring at her while she was working out in the gym. The video uploaded on TikTok shows Aragon being extremely conscious while working out as a man continuously stared at her. But before confronting the man, Heidi Aragon tried various means to deter the man from doing so.
Aragon stared right back at the man and even asked her husband to exercise nearby. However, the man refused to take his eyes off her and the woman had to confront him as a last resort.
“Don’t sit there and tell me you’re not doing something when I have proof,” Heidi Aragon wrote in the caption to her post.
When none of her attempts worked and the man refused to take his eyes off, the woman had to confront him as a last resort.
“I thought he got the picture, so I attempted to do my set. Then I got fed up, and went over to address him. I told him if he’s going to work out in this corner, he needed to stop staring and making me uncomfortable,” Heidi Aragon wrote in the caption to her post.
Heidi Aragon added that the man denied stating at her and instead stated that he just ‘looked around’. However, Aragon’s habit to record her workouts provided her with the necessary evidence. Needless to say, the evidence did not fall in line with the man’s claim.
“I told him I record my workouts and have him on film. He shut up real quick.” Heidi Aragon mentioned.

Heidi Aragon’s video quickly went viral on TikTok
The viral video uploaded on Tiktok has over 3 million views already and the comments section erupted with comments of women who have had a similar experience.
Here are some of the comments in which women expressed their feelings on the matter and shared similar experiences:
“The gym is supposed to be a judgment-free space. She clearly just wants to work out in peace.”
“This is why I’m scared to work out at the gym. I just do it in my room.”
“Some people go to the gym for the wrong reasons,” someone else wrote. “This is why I’ve never been able to enjoy the gym.”
“You did a good thing by confronting him. These types of men only go to the gym to stare at women. I see it all the time.”
Why can her fans watch..but not this man, she has double standards and should workout at home
I’m sure he didn’t like d being filmed without his concent while working out..but she seems intitled to film him.
So it’s ok if you watch someone and they feel comfortable but as soon as the feel uncomfortable you can’t watch them? Maybe if she doesn’t like being looked at she should find out why people look at her and change it.
How are you going to be a fitness person and be as in good ofnshape as you are and get upset when a man notices sure he shouldn’t have been staring but can you blame him? Your in amazing shape he probably wishes his wife looked as good as you do. I’m sorry that this man made you feel uncomfortable. But with the way you look girl you should be blessed that men stare at you some other women are not as fortunate and wished they could get a man’s attention. This isn’t me agreeing with him staring at all this is me saying he had a reason your a badass trainer and in amazing shape people envy that. Imagine. Fitness junky and I stare sometimes but not in a perverted way more of a wow your really putting in work I respect that man or woman doesn’t matter if your getting it I’m going to stare I can’t help it that’s how I learn sometimes.
How dare he not stare at the floor between sets. Doesn’t he know he’s ruining it for all her social media followers? Only they are allowed to observe the workouts. Wake up old man that’s her gym not yours!
Gyms are a fashion show now.
Hey, I totally support the poor guy!!! If she doesn’t wanna be started at – she shouldn’t have gone to the gym – train at home for God sake. Plus, the gym is a public space – he can stare at anybody as much as he likes – it’s not like he touched her or sth! Moreover, she is in tights and there are literally her anus and camel toe outlined…WTF?!!?!?!?
Bottomline – that’s a public space – he can stare as much as he wants.
I’d be so happy and flattered if a girl stared at me at the gym, but women have to always play the victims…
So she dresses to get attention, started a TikTok to get attention and when she doesn’t like WHO the attention is coming from she gets mad?!?! This does not even mention the fact the guy was hardly “staring”. (Hardly anything to stare at). Get over yourself lady and/or start dressing more conservative instead of outlining ever curve to you body instead of the workout……
He is staring at her in tik tok now
Her whole Instagram is basically her showing off her ass.
Poor old guy…He should sue her for social media defamation!
Yeah, I have to agree with the majority of the comments here. That’s the first thing I thought of when I saw the pics…..WTH?!? You’re wearing something that’s showing every single curve and bump, plus it looks as if you’re not wearing any type of underwear (at least it looks that way to me!) She’s definitely leaving nothing to the imagination……i understand that it shouldn’t be that way, but it’s the real world, and until we have a perfect society, that’s the way people will react. If she doesn’t want people to stare, either wear different clothes, or work out at home….jmho…..
what if a handsome man watches her, will she feels creepy or admired. The only reason that man got creepy title is because he is old and not handsome.
She was obviously attracted to him which kept her from focusing on her workout. She admitted that she was watching him and staring into his eyes so deeply that she knew where he was looking. She’s married, she should back off!
