In the latest Twitter video, Joey shows another video of @nahtaliee recording in a gym. In the video, the user had put a note that stated,??I was using the hypo extension machine and doing sets back and forth, & no lie this man was 4 inches from my a**???According to her, he was taking up her??little space??and she also put a clown emoji which signified that she was calling the man a clown for doing what he did.

 

To this, Joey Swoll reacted and replied to the caption of the video,??You don’t get to selfishly hog equipment if you’re super setting 2-3 others exercises while people are waiting and you don’t get to tell people they can’t be in “your video space” if they’re using a machine in your frame. And NOT everything needs to be posted on social media! Handle it like an adult and move on.?

Swoll also addressed it in the video saying,??So let me get this straight, you’re upset with that man, you call him a clown, you say things rude. All, because he sees the back extension, is open while you’re off doing two to three different exercises, and because he’s in your space while you’re filming as if your video is more important than another member’s workout.??According to Joey, she should not have hogged the gym equipment and blocked other people?s training. He also advised the woman to?“act like an adult”?and solve the gym conflict by talking to the man, rather than film him.?

Swoll has previously called out other people as well, which also brought the bodybuilding community to criticize the toxic behavior of gym-goers.?
