The CEO of Gym Positivity, Joey Swoll, is known for making a case for maintaining a positive environment in the gym. He emphasizes maintaining a code of conduct in the training environment. Now the CEO is back at it again, calling out a netizen for filming in the gym.
In a recent video posted by Swoll on his Instagram, a girl captioned her video, “Where did you learn to control your anger?” To this, she replied, “Try filming in gym.” The CEO called out the netizen for filming in public and mocking others.

The netizen from Swoll’s clip was left with a dejected look on her face when a guy passed through while she was filming. She flexed this as if it were her anger management class. Swoll responded to this and said,” If someone walking through your video at the gym is enough to make you have to control your anger, then you shouldn’t be filming at all,” The CEO added.

He further mentioned,”Maybe you don’t belong in the gym.” The CEO highlighted that because of the people like her in the gym, many want filming banned in the gym. Swoll also thinks that filming in the gym should be banned so that cyberbullying can be controlled and everyone can focus on improving themselves.
Swoll advised the netizen,” If you want to film somewhere where no one’s going to walk through your video, you can do as you please; build a home gym.” He then captioned the clip with a suggestion of his own, “Influencers will now need anger management when someone’s walks through their video.”
This is not the first time Swoll has addressed netizens on this matter. He recently supported a kid bullied by a man for the same reason.

In another video Swoll posted, a man was seen frustrated because a boy was trying to pass through while the man was filming. The CEO criticized the guy for bringing a cameraman to a public gym. The man was blocking the weight rack’s access for everyone. The CEO gave the man his example when he used to shoot in public gyms for magazines like “Reps, Muscle Mags, and Muscle Fitness.”
He highlighted the fact that they used to politely wait while others were in their spot of filming or were passing by. Swoll advised the man that instead of filming a video and posting it on social media, he should wait for others to pass by. He also suggested that the man build a home gym if he wanted to film himself alone.
