A bodybuilder has called out one of his fellow gymgoers on TikTok after she impatiently outed someone for their gym behavior.
Coach and self-proclaimed "CEO of gym positivity" Joey Swoll offered up his commentary on the situation in a video after the woman accused one man of being an example of her "biggest gym pet peeve."
In the original clip, TikToker @xandrafittt can be seen stepping up to squat on the smith machine. As she prepares to start her set, someone off-camera interrupts to ask how much longer she'll be on the machine.
The woman - who is clearly annoyed - takes her headphones off and responds before getting back to her exercise. She shared the clip with text overlay explaining that people asking how long she'll be on machines is "my biggest gym pet peeve."
Swoll had strong opinions on the video - so much so that he reshared it with his own commentary included at the end, in which he blasted the woman for being rude.
"This man did nothing wrong. There is absolutely nothing wrong with somebody asking you politely how many sets you have left. This man was trying to get your attention you were setting up your camera you hadn't started your set yet, he went as far as to even say I'm sorry for bothering you," said Swoll.
"He didn't deserve your smirk he didn't deserve your attitude and he definitely didn't deserve to be posted to your social media as an example of what bad gym etiquette is. The only bad gym etiquette here is you. People ask me all the time how many sets I have left. I go as far as to say would you like to work in with me. You don't have to do that but you need to respect people," he continued.
Swoll concluded by making the point that the gym was a communal area, in which everyone has as much of a right to equipment as each other. "It's a shared space. You don't own the gym your name is not on it. Until it is I suggest you mind your own business, be better than that," he said.
