“They BOTH Are Wrong”: Joey Swoll Intervenes in Gym Etiquette Dispute Between Two Gym-Rats

The CEO of Gym Positivity, Joey Swoll, has always promoted the necessity of having a healthy and positive gym environment. When Swoll comes across incidents of people destroying the sanctity of the gym, he often corrects them on social media. This time, however, Joey Swoll did not find a victim, unlike his previous cases. 

Recently, Swoll came across a video on the internet in which a man was seen asking onlookers to judge who was in the wrong between two people present in the video. However, instead of choosing one of them, Swoll pointed out why both of them were at fault.

Joey Swoll asks people to abide by the rules

In the viral video, a man came up to a shirtless gym-goer and said, “It’s not a f**king fashion parade. Put your f**king top on man. This is a f**king gym. Not a f**king fashion parade.” Swoll instantly called out both of them when he saw the video. He stated, “So you ask in this video, who is right and who is wrong? Well, you are both wrong.” Swoll explained how the man had all the right to call out the other for taking his shirt off in a public gym where it was not allowed.

He also pointed out that the man should not have cussed at him. Although Swoll confirmed with the gym officials and the gym guidelines about having a shirt on at all times, he still believed that one should not be disrespectful while reminding the other of the rules. Swoll stated, “He shouldn’t have approached you that way. He can remain calm and respectful. But you are wrong for having your shirt off in the gym that doesn’t allow it.” 

There were other moments when Swoll had to point out visibly wrong actions, but people still did it unknowingly. Let us look at one such instance.

Joey Swoll called out a woman for skating in the gym

In one of his earlier posts, Swoll had publicly criticized a woman who shared a video complaining about being disturbed while she was skating in the gym. Swoll called her out for skating in the walkway of the gym where people were walking as well as carrying weights.

The bodybuilder stated, “I am sorry, you don’t own the gym. And if you are gonna treat people like this, take your skates and your dirty looks and leave, you need to do better.” He did not forget to emphasize the one piece of advice that he often gave people- to mind their own business.
