A gym is a place where people generally go to better their health and physique, and when they get in there, it’s all about that, but sometimes people can have different reasons to go there. Since the craze of TikTok has taken over, people try to make funny videos in the gym whenever they get a chance. On the other hand, for gym fanatics like Joey Swoll, this is like an insult to gym etiquette. In his recent Tweet, Swoll addresses a similar problem he watched in a TikTok video, where a person mocks another gym mate for his mistakes and routine.

In the tweet, Swoll is saddened by the way the gym culture has been growing lately. Moreover, he seemed anguished by the behavior of the person mocking another person in the gym without his consent. What did Swoll exactly say in the video? In addition, what was the life lesson he shared with the people who mock other people? Let us find out. 

A gym lesson that will be equally helpful in life 

The video was shared by a TikToker where he shows multiple clips of another person in the gym. He points out the strange patterns of that older man who regularly does workouts in the wrong form; moreover, sometimes he also sleeps in the gym. The TikToker captured his routine in the video and mockingly posted it on his account.

However, when Joey Swoll watched this, he got furious. He did not like the way the old person was displayed in the video. Therefore, in the video, he criticized TikToker. Swoll said, “You know, this video really really saddens me about today’s culture and the fact that you took a photo like that at the end. Huh, you know, you don’t know this man’s story. You don’t know what he has been through, maybe he’s homeless maybe he has nowhere to go, maybe he pays for a gym membership just to have a one place to go for couple of hours to feel normal, to get a shower, to not be judged.”

He continued, “You don’t know. But what you should know is better than to mock ridicule, to shame some man in the gym that’s in a worse of position. You should be thankful that you are not what he is, you are not dealing with what he is dealing with. You should be helpful. You say he doesn’t know what he is doing in the gym on the equipments so help him, and he can help you, you know how? He can teach you how to mind your own business like he is doing. Be better than that.”
