Joey Swoll has always been an advocate for a healthy environment in the gym and outside of it. The man who was bullied when he was in college, and went through his mental turmoils, fought every hurdle and today he is a social media sensation who is bringing a very important message. In his latest reel video on Instagram, the clip starts with a man trying to do a deadlift, when suddenly, another man wearing a white T-shirt, comes in front of him and does something unimaginable.

He slaps the man across his head and starts spewing cuss words at him without any reason. The man who was abused like this kept his calm and was very polite throughout the ordeal which is commendable. After this video clip ended, Swoll came into the frame and started talking about the incident. He was extremely angry and visibly disturbed. He said, ?This is one of the most disturbing videos that I have ever been sent.??

It is not acceptable that anyone raises their hand at another person in any circumstances. This is exactly what the bodybuilder pointed out. He said, ?You never put your hands on or speak to somebody that way whether you are in the gym or anywhere.? He also talked about the person who sent him this video and said, ?Shoutout to Goob he called me last night he sent me this video, he did such a great job handling this.? Even in this fiasco, there was good news when Swoll informed that the man who bullied the gymgoer was banned from the gym immediately.?
