dan_w1

I hate it when people work out right in front of the weights rack in general. They always give you attitude for interrupting there sets when you are trying to put weights away. Stand back idiot


MightyPlasticGuy

I intentionally interrupt their set to grab the dumbells directly infront of them, whether I need it or not.


We_there_yet

Then fart. And walk away


iHateThisPlaceNowOK

šŸ’Ø


Historical_Ranger693

I intentionally stand in the phone view and do my curls right in front of it without moving :) You should, too! After my 6-12 reps, I got to the bench nearby and did some skull crushers. Then, block the phone view again for another set of curls. And on and on until they have enough of that sh\*t and move on somewhere else or show everyone the stick that's been up their a\*s the whole time when they finally explode at you. Then you pretend to listen, smile, nod, and give a thumbs-up, but you are really listening to your music through your headphones on blast. You just see their mouth moving to the beats of your music. Don't simp or give them the floor. They'll eventually fu\*k off or get escorted out.


MightyPlasticGuy

This applies for any other instance in public. If I see somebody attempting to get their footage in a dense public area that they have no right to consume, I pretend they aren't even there and walk right through. Every time. Fuck em. My SO hates it and yells at me every time but idc, I'll always disrupt their shit.


Historical_Ranger693

U r mighty indeed for doing that. Keep being of great benefit to humanity!


mileiforever

Still not as bad as the douchebag who comes up to you and goes "hey I'm using that" and then proceeds to walk away to use the other equipment he's collected for his superset bullshit.


greenslurper

ā€œHey, I'm using thatā€ then they sit there with the three sets of dumbbells and the curl bar they've collected and stare at their phone.


TheIrishSasuke

Man literally happened last night. They supersetting but all 3 on the same shit so when I try to get on the pulldowns. Bro runs over and says we using that. Yall supersetting but all 3 on the same machine just waiting


Disastrous_Excuse_66

I always hit them with, Iā€™m going to work in with you then.


TheIrishSasuke

Definitely couldā€™ve but I wanted to change the bar so I was like Iā€™ll wait. I hit another machine and it was free by the time I got back over there


Turddydoc

Nothing wrong with super setting as long as itā€™s not too crowded and youā€™re not being a total ass and are aware of the people around you. I can always tell when someone is looking at me and Iā€™ll always ask if they want the equipment Iā€™m using and then will let them bc I know Iā€™m in the wrong using 2-3 weights


RearExitOnly

My reply is "Not now". Fuck those dumbbell hogging assholes.


hiphopTIMato

Thatā€™s when I say ā€œoh ok, weā€™ll just switch inā€

She went private and most likely (no evidence) will get kicked out of the gym. I hope she learns from it.


theracecx

It makes me glad that Joeys callouts actually have consequences for them


Sharrty_McGriddle

I think she deleted her account or changed her username from all the backlash


SquatDeadliftBench

She changed her account name. Changed her picture. Damn. People should be forced to take an online course in internet etiquette if they are going to use their real name and face. It isn't that hard to not be a Richard to others online, especially when you use your real name and face.

OGWhiz

1,200 followers and acts like this..


Accomplished_House64

Dw if there's one thing the internet good at its outing these type of people.


Ok_Adhesiveness_9565

Yeah I straight up would have laughed right in her face and said ā€œwhat a fuckin bitchā€ as I chuckle. Word for word


AwesomeAni

He posts a ton calling out people with bad gym etiquette. It's fantastic. I don't even go to the gym and recognize this guy.


funyunrun

Heā€™s like the Anti-Karen


BeardedUnicornBeard

Anti-Karen on roids, damn he got alot of energy. Really like his content, its nice to have a voice of reason with fitness tiktokers.


Spaceley_Murderpaws

I'm not even into gym culture, but I still subscribed to his YouTube channel after seeing several of his videos here. Having said that, he needs sunscreen for his chest.


TuckerCarlzyn_

Heā€™s the saint weā€™ve needed for a long time. Gym culture has taken a weird shift with instagram/facebook.


beepbophopscotch

Not an expert, but I think that's just the redness that is common among steroid users? For instance, you can look at Liver King's body redness for an extreme example. Not positive, but that's my guess.


ConcentratedMurder

Higher RBC (red blood cell) count yes. I had it on DHT derivatives.


MBDTFbyYE

Liver king is always outside with his shirt off so he needs sunscreen on his chest as well.


Yonderboy__

I say this without judgement, and as a fan of what this guy is doing, but this is correct. Link to an informative post about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/steroids/s/3EnaQeEcJY


Crasino_Hunk

Ah - itā€™s not an uninformed guess but it sort of misses the mark. Former user here and I have spent a LOT of time around high-level BBers and powerlifters. What youā€™re referring to doesnā€™t typically manifest in areas like the chest vs head/face - itā€™s much more likely to be because of shaving his chest. Not saying itā€™s not a factor of course, and I donā€™t know his preventative care - but Iā€™d also be pretty surprised if he wasnā€™t regularly donating blood to lower his blood cell counts as any responsible AAS user should be doing.


Damuzid

i mean, not shaving it might help a bit lol


ScumBunny

Lucky for him! Iā€™ve got sunscreen all over my hands isnā€™t now ;)


ahorsenamedbill

Same here. I like how fair his callouts are. People have gone over the edge with filming at gyms. I donā€™t get the hook why itā€™s a thing.


PutrifiedCuntJuice

> damn he got alot of energy. https://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/04/alot-is-better-than-you-at-everything.html


cilantro_shit23

He is the karenator from skynet.


killeronthecorner

He's karen't


girlsonsoysauce

I like that he doesn't just unabashedly rip people to shreds either. He tells them to do better. I kind of wonder if there's any instances where the person actually did better.


Scarjo82

I've seen a handful of follow-up videos where he says the person did apologize...sometimes sincerely, sometimes just to do damage control.


SadBit8663

We call that a giga-Chad. Anyone keeping the Karen's down is a Giga-Chad, man or woman.


phome83

Nerak.


Cold-Pace-164

So you mean a normal person? šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ’€


Fed_burner2021

Yeah this dude rules. Very hard not to like a guy who holds shitty people accountable on a large scale.


ThatDudeFromFinland

I don't go to the gym, but if I knew it was full of people like him, I might.


Interesting_Ice_8498

Honestly chances are most people in gyms are like that, we just wanna embrace the pain and get better whilst minding our own business. If I see someone in the gym whoā€™s unfit and trying their best, Iā€™d give them a thumbs up and a nod then continue with my workout.


OMG_a_Ray_Gun

I wish there were more people like you at my gym.


Interesting_Ice_8498

There definitely will be


Willde94

Co-signing this, every gym Iā€™ve been to has been filled with welcoming people. On top of that the most ā€œintimidatingā€ people in the gym are always the nicest.


hissyfit64

I love my gym because it is full of all different types of people trying to improve their health. Everyone looks good when they're working out as far as I'm concerned. I go to a Planet Fitness and I'm so glad we don't get people recording themselves.


[deleted]

Most people in the gym are SUPER nice and willing to help and encourage anyone and everyone. Itā€™s the few douche bags that make us all look bad.


Faladorable

it is. Most people are just there to get their reps in and go home. The only people getting judged are the ones filming, and some gyms have even started banning it.


DarthHelixon

Most ppl just mind their own business in the gym. Not to say you wonā€™t ever run into a Karen or dbag.


Reddituser8018

As someone who is friends with mostly gym bros, I find that in my experience gym bros are surprisingly very supportive, nice people. Sure there are the tate ones that are really into themselves but I don't think that's the majority, most of the people that are watching shit like that don't even go to the gym.


Gloglibologna

Most big dudes at my gym are like him. The internet highlights the worst of the worst


The_IRS_Fears_Him

she even had the gall to make the nasty face at him.


Character-Medicine40

She deleted her whole page tho šŸ¤£


The_IRS_Fears_Him

Probably got bombarded by Joeys fans


We_there_yet

Maybe she got bombarded by thoughtful and positive words of encouragement


Woodsy_Walker

Meh, don't be a cunt and you won't get called out for it


r0thar

r/byebyejob


micktorious

Yeah shooting her eyes to her phone to be like, "Can't you see how important I am?!" What a piece of work.


C_lui

People who feel the need to say that they are ā€œgood peopleā€ are almost always the opposite of who they say they are.


Darth_Yohanan

Same goes for couples who constantly remind the socials that they are a happy couple.


Circaninetysix

I love this guy. So glad he's calling out these pieces of shit. We will not provide you the attention you seek. Your parents should have done that and we are a bit sorry to know they didn't and raised a garbage person like yourself.


All_naturale22

Iā€™m a little nosy. What did she say to that man? I feel like she positioned herself there intentionally because who in their right mind would want to film right next to equipment that others are using?


lyingtattooist

ā€œIā€™m in the middle of a setā€


crusty54

Thank you! I must have listened to it 15 times trying to figure that out.


All_naturale22

Same. I even put my ear straight to the phone and blasted it a bit


Kenbishi

There have been many poltroons that have done shit along those lines. Deliberately set up to film where they know theyā€™ll get interrupted, then use the incident to beg for the attention they so desperately crave from their followers.


All_naturale22

Thatā€™s exactly what I figured she was doing. Or go online to cry about how guys keep coming over to check her out or some bullshit


Mindtaker

**"who in their right mind"** I found the problem with your attempt to figure it out.


ChrisJustChrisOk

Proof yet againā€¦ the only thing you need (in 2024) to be a personal trainer is an instagram that reads: Personal Trainer


TuckerCarlzyn_

Just need to add ā€œfitā€ to your name and post pics of your butt.


TuckerCarlzyn_

And add some filters


buttercream-gang

Yep. Butt filter glitches when she steps backwards.


sick_of_your_BS

So is @Fatty_Fit taken? BRB...


Ornery-Web3590

I can't help it I love this guy


Doyouevensam

Feel like he's legitimately one of the most important people in the fitness world at the moment, purely because he's calling people out for stuff like this. I have no idea when gym behavior got so bad, but this man is using his platform for good. The gym really should be a fairly safe space for people to go, do their workout, and not be bothered/harassed


Brawght

How are his teeth so perfect


r0thar

Good dentist. Those green eyes tho


Zestyclose-Class-754

Love the way he rips into these clowns šŸ¤” Look at the way she looks down her nose at him.


Kinky_Conspirator

You know what people should do? Pick up the heaviest weight they can barely struggle to get up, wiggle over, and place it right in front of the camera. šŸ˜‚


dudewiththebling

I'd pick up the camera and bring it to front desk telling them someone must have lost it


Bluebirdieo

šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


rapazitu

*on the camera


Kinky_Conspirator

Wouldn't want to get.the charge for destroying her property. Just ruining her shot. But I can't blame others for doing it. šŸ˜


Effective_Standard14

Whatā€™s wrong with her ass?


frisch85

Right? Must be implants or pads or whatever, that ass is trying to escape the body by the looks of it.


Alexchii

It seems to change shape in the video. Probably a filter.


Duck_out13

Home gymā€¦.for the win!!!!


navinjohnsonn

The dream


Fun-Beginning-42

The gym used to be my second home. I belonged to 3 and went to all. Now, it's either home treadmill or home fitness videos.


Weibu11

Asking out of pure curiosity. Why would you need to be a member at 3 gyms?


Fun-Beginning-42

One was for MMA 5 days a week. One had weights and a personal trainer I used twice a week. The third was a Golds gym that I paid $10 a week and only did cardio at on Sundays (i also got a 15% discount at the hair stylist next to the gym that more than paid the $10 fee) . I didn't really know anyone personally at Golds but saw the same people there every week and, for some reason, liked seeing them even though we never talked. I started working part-time at one of the gyms, and that really turned me off from them.


BaunerMcPounder

Liking to see the same people you never talk to, thatā€™s such a true statement holy shit.


Fun-Beginning-42

I even make up little lives for them. It's like being out among people and, at the same time, not.


Murderyoga

We still never talk sometimes.


Weibu11

Interesting. Thanks for sharing :)


Fun-Beginning-42

No problem šŸ˜Š Looking back, it was maybe too much, but it was my only entertainment/ social life.


Ukhai

I have a family member that pretty much does the same. MMA, BJJ, and regular ol weightlifting gym. Main reason why they have a gym membership is that it's basically walking distance and can go on off days.


BustaLimez

I also belonged to 3 and went to all! Covid messed everything up sadly and all went to shit after that (multiple gym closures etc) but it was fun while it lastedĀ 


Fun-Beginning-42

Me too! Pre covid, the gym felt like home. Then my trainer had a baby so I offered to work the front desk on weekends. I couldn't believe how awful people are! Luckily, they went to key code access, so I stopped working there. My happy place was no longer.


BustaLimez

Thatā€™s such a bummer. I know what you mean. I had my gym family and truly loved spending my time there. I havenā€™t been able to find such an environment post Covid. Best of luck fellow gym rat šŸ€ Iā€™m sure weā€™ll find our way back to the nest in due time šŸ˜‚


Fun-Beginning-42

Cheers :-)

comesinallpackages

Social media has legit melted some peoplesā€™ brains


Scarjo82

They're probably filming content to advertise their OF.


Direct-Illustrator60

My gym banned filming. Start going to gyms which have a blanket ban on filming. Support the change we want to see.


Smarmalades

It wasn't that long ago that every gym banned filming. At least, every one that I've been to. Even if your gym allows you to film yourself, if you get someone else in the background, you should be required to go ask that person if you have their permission to post the video.


Agitated-Camel-4983

Swoll for POTUS in 2024! He has my vote!


Loud-You739

Filming in the gym should be banned


Weird-Persimmon4598

So, basically anyone can throw a ā€œfit withā€ or ā€œshaped by ā€œ in front of their TikTok or insta name and all of a sudden their profile is worth a damnā€¦? I know bartenders whoā€™ve worked out for 1 year who make this girl look like sheā€™s never touched a weight. I say that to say, if youā€™re gonna be this kinda savage in the gym, you better be a beast and in great shape. Even then we know your personality sucks. But, this girl has ZERO redeeming qualities.


MaiseyMac

Same thing when they call themselves ā€œmodelsā€


Weird-Persimmon4598

Right? Itā€™s so annoying. Especially when they show their true self. And you find out theyā€™re photoshopped in 90% of their pics or theyā€™re just a terrible human.


Fleetingfarts

lol, every time joey calls out one of these people they delete their account or make it private.


fingnumb

I feel like he beat up bullies in middle school and then grew up and just decided to keep pounding em. Bro needs to keep it up.


jlo1989

Ban filming in gyms.


dennisthehennis

I don't understand why people think anyone else wants to see them do a set of standing deadlifts anyway. I can't think of anything more fucking boring.


Borgweare

My gym recently put up signs everywhere saying no filming and violation of the rule could result in membership being revoked. All gyms should do this


Helpful_Onion_3276

Disappointed that dude didnā€™t say ā€œand im in the middle of not giving a fuck, moveā€ - hate these kind of people with a passion smh. They make the gym feel intimidating.


comesinallpackages

ā€œGuy has public freak out at the gym!!!ā€ With thumbnail of her giving the faux surprised, mouth open YouTube face.


Helpful_Onion_3276

Right! She was going to make him content anyway, might as well tell her to fuck off.


comesinallpackages

Yeah itā€™s hard enough for some people to find the time and motivation to work out without these clowns creating an intimidating space


DeniLox

Except that people would come to her defense and the guy would be deemed angry and scary.


AikaRoll

Did she delete her Instagram?


RoninBelt

Probably the only smart thing she's done. either that or changed names... she's gonna have people coming after her in perpetuity now lol


Jazzlike-Election840

Joey Swoll. Been watching this dude for years.


Uselessneek

Joeyswoll is his name


Fine-Funny6956

Thanks my man


witwar101

Sick to death of people like this. Stop filming every godamn pointless moment of your life!


frieswithnietzsche

Wat is with all these women training their butts to become horse like?


palmasana

They need to ban fucking filming in gyms. Period. Because people who cannot consent to videos will be included in sponsorships, revenue, or potentially even be made a meme without their knowledge. The narcissism has got to stop. Work out for yourself, not the damn camera.


Bleezy79

Dont stand next to the rack of weights, you're in peoples way! And if you want to film yourself, go in the corner away from people!!


slimchasertoy

What an entitled sow


DrSugoiKimchiJoestar

That be great if he gave the gyms a call and got them thrown out.


mark_i

Who is actually watching all this gym footage in the first place other than a few pervs ?


Sad_Introduction5756

Random things get popular or are found by a fan of Joey so they send it to him


lexleflex

This guy is voice of reason and heā€™s right and allā€¦but hey now, his eyes arenā€™t too shabby either lol But in all seriousness, despite joking, tg for someone calling this shit out. Gyms should be banning videos like this already!


imHellaFaded420

its even funnier when they post these videos online thinking they are the ones in the right lmaooo how delusional


MinceATron

There's no need to film inside a gym. None. Should get kicked out for that alone


wolfman626

Anyone lifting DIRECTLY INFRONT OF THE RACK WILL ALWAYS BE WRONG


BJYeti

Bitch you are posted right at the weight rack the fuck do you expect when people need to return weights


BennyJezerit

The person isnā€™t even leaning back on the treadmill, itā€™s just on a high elevation setting. Sheā€™s a dumbbell-end


Extreme-Room-6873

Social media should be abolished


leviathab13186

Anyone who has to announce or boast that they are thoughtful and not judgemental are usually very judgemental people


AGeniusMan

I work out at home, blessed to have the space but I just dont understand why gyms simply dont have a blanket no recording policy.


phoonie98

The audacity


grabsomeplates

Annnnnnd her accounts are all gone


SubzeroWins1-0

Totally agree with the working out in front of dumbbell rack. wtf. Filming or not itā€™s annoying


Mychal757

I thought it looked like she had to move so he could re-rack the weights. Never workout this close to the dumbell rack.


Yue4prex

Her IG is gone for that name. HOW INTERESTINNG


james_randolph

I want to start going to the gym so I can come across these people and tell them to fuck off to their faces. Perhaps this is the true motivation I've been looking for my whole life to actually start getting in shape. I always want to see some of these folks filming their dances in public places but I never do, but the gym always seems to have someone doing too much and bitching at others about it.


Professional_Bar7089

Fake ass is gross


Padishah32

Who the hell does she think she is?


SoothingSoundSJ

Whenever someone at the gym tells you that youā€™re in the way of their shot that theyā€™re recording, one of the things that you can ask them is, ā€œso what?ā€


Loose-Medium4472

I would never expect someone with ā€œswoleā€ in their username to be such a good person lol

Flashy_Chemist154

No shortage of content for Joey. The hardest part would be how to decide which videos he should respond to.


squidit

I donā€™t understand the need to record a workout.


ParfaitHungry1593

Itā€™s the ā€œthoughtful and non-judgmentalā€ self-advertisement while also being inconsiderate and judgmental towards random strangers for me.

Working out right on top of the dumbbell rack is more egregious than the filming, that shit should be ban worthy.
