Joey Swoll has taken to social media to slam a woman who performed an X-rated act in a public gym.
It's January, which means that the gyms will be the busiest they've ever been due to people fulfilling their New Year's resolutions.

For those who have never been to a gym before, they can be quite intimidating places - particularly if you judge yourself compared to others.
But everyone has to start somewhere and it shouldn't put you off working out and attempting to better yourself - and most if not all people in there are more worried about what they're doing than what you're doing anyway.
However, if you were to walk into a gym and see someone grinding up on the equipment, then you would be forgiven for walking back out of the door.
Luckily, Joey Swoll is on hand to call those people out.

In his latest critique, Swoll responded to a viral video of a woman engaging in suggestive behavior on gym equipment.
The video begins with the woman filming herself in the mirror of a public gym, which appears harmless at first.
However, the footage quickly shifts to her rubbing herself on a squat bar in a provocative manner, sparking backlash online.
Swoll expressed his disapproval in a reaction video, opening with a frustrated sigh.
"I can't believe that this even has to be said but in 2025, can we please stop rubbing ourself on gym equipment, just to sell more subscriptions to our 'exclusive content'," he stated, referencing the growing trend of influencers using gyms as backdrops for explicit content.
He also reminded viewers of the shared nature of gym spaces, emphasizing that others must use the equipment afterward.
Swoll described such behavior as "disgusting" and called for accountability. "This behavior is disgusting, and it needs to stop. If you think it's okay to do, then shame on you. You're part of the problem," he asserted.
Swoll addressed accusations from critics claiming he benefits financially from exposing such incidents. He strongly refuted these claims, citing the impact of his work.
"First off, my videos make a difference. I've had these people removed from gyms, their posts taken down, legal action against them, I've had entire social media accounts taken down," he explained.

In his video, Swoll also criticized individuals who support such content creators, stating that they are equally to blame.
"To this young woman, keep the OF content at home, and out of the gym. You need to do better. Mind your own business," he concluded.
