The self-branded CEO of Gym Positivity acts as an online fitness policeman, slamming disrespectful gym-goers in front of his millions of social media followers. On this occasion, Joey shared a video showing a woman performing stretches on the ground while a cameraman stood behind her, recording her exercise. As the bodybuilder explained, the woman didn’t hit the gym to work out but to record content for her OnlyFans platform.

Make money how you want, but this content has no place in the gym.” Joey added that he received the video from a trainer at a local ONYX gym where he sometimes exercises. He also mentioned that the woman used a fake name to enter the gym. “It made all the trainers and all the clients very uncomfortable,” he explained. “So I sent this to owner Griff, who’s a good friend of mine, and was very happy to see his response.” A screenshot of the conversation reveals that Griff “kicked” the woman out of the premises after learning about the “disgusting” incident.

He said: “More gyms need to start taking action like ONYX to kick creators out, male or female, [who] make content like this. “So, to this young woman, have some self-respect, and if you can’t have self-respect, at least have respect for the people around you at the gym.” The gym-goer, who goes by @sheiskarli on social media, responded to the criticism with a mirror selfie, writing, “We back. Sorry, my stretching video got out of hand @onyxathletica. I’ll make it less sexy next time, Griffin.” People responded to the video, which was viewed over 4 million times, writing, “People have no self-respect or dignity anymore. They feel like everyone deserves to see every crevice on their body.” Someone else commented, “Anyone else remember a time when people went to the gym to, oh, you know, WORK OUT?” “They need to ban filming in the gyms,” a separate social media user said. “There’s a line. Boundaries are getting blurred,” another person agreed.
“This content has no place in the gym,” the bodybuilder said
A post shared by Joey Swoll (@joeyswoll) The controversy comes after Joey slammed a fitness influencer for mocking a disabled student with special needs. The fitness superstar shared a video that showed social media user @i_am_mighty_fit making fun of the way the student was lifting weights in the gym. “2.7 million likes on a video making fun of a kid with a disability, a very painful disability, for trying to work out? And all for what? Some likes and attention on social media? Seriously?” Joey said. “Somebody needs to stand up for this kid. ‘i_am_mighty_fit,’ you need to do better. Mind your own business.”
“Ban cameras in the gym,” a social media user demanded
