In crowded gyms, conflicts are bound to occur between users of the shared space. Issues regarding sharing of gym equipment are very common and are regular occurrences in the lives of athletes who are into bodybuilding. This is exactly what happened when a female Tiktoker refused to share her equipment with another woman. Reacting to the video by Yourfriendtrin, a popular influencer Joey Swoll gave a strong response. Swoll spoke about how the woman went too far to bash the victim, all because she asked to use a machine. 

The influencer also gave his strong views about posting such videos on social media. Besides, Swoll also advised the Tiktoker who posted the video. 

Description of the controversial bodybuilding video and Joey Swoll’s strong response 

In the video, a woman asks Yourfriendtrin if she is using a machine (that Trin is not using) at the moment. However, Trin replies “I am using that” and the woman walks away. The video also has a caption about gym etiquette and the fact that she may be doing supersets (using both machines). Responding to this video, Swoll spoke, “That woman did nothing wrong,” in an Instagram video. He also wrote a strong caption, “The gym is a shared space, you don’t own it or the equipment.”  

Swoll also made a shocking comment that Yourfriendtrin posted this video to set an example of what she thinks gym etiquette should be. Afterwards, Swoll implied how Yourfriendtrin should’ve been more sensitive and tried to understand the other woman’s perspective. “You’re at a Gym that gets busier like at Planet Fitness…and somebody walks up to the machine that you’re supersetting on…have a conversation with them like a human being.”

When a woman was told to go from the gym due to her clothes 

A woman from Australia named Gabi Goddard was told to exit the gym. The reason for this was that the gym owner felt that her clothes showed too much skin. Shocked by the incident, Gabi changed her gym. 

She also posted on Instagram about this alarming incident which garnered thousands of reactions. Later, to clarify, she said that she had been wearing gym shorts. Afterwards, she elaborated that she couldn’t wear her underwear over her outfit as it would be considered inappropriate.

Joe Swoll’s statements and Gabi’s incident reflect that a more sensitive attitude towards women is required in gyms. What are your views on Yourfriendtrin’s reaction to the woman asking for the machine? Share in the comments section.
