Joey Swoll is one of the most popular fitness influencers of recent times. More often than not Swoll makes headlines for his brutally honest remarks on toxic gym-goers. Calling himself the CEO of gym positivity, Swoll strives to remove the negativity from the gym, brought upon by social media frenzied gym enthusiasts. He does so by using his platform to call out people who malign the healthy environment. While in most of his videos, he criticizes people for their negative behaviors, he also praises those who spread a positive message.

In a recent video, Swoll complimented one such TikTok user for sharing a video promoting a helpful attitude. Using the video as an example, Swoll claimed that the community needs to “bring this gym culture back!”

Fitness influencer shares the perfect example of positive gym culture

A few days ago, fitness influencer Joey Swoll shared yet another gym video from TikTok on his Instagram. Unlike most of his videos, where Swoll had to point out the wrong, this flawless video carried a positive message. In it, a young woman could be seen struggling while finishing the reps of her incline dumbbell press. Noticing her situation from afar, a man came closer and asked her if she needed help.

When the woman nodded, he moved behind her and assisted her in finishing the exercise. In recent times, there have been many cases where such acts of kindness have been seen in a negative light by the receivers. Instead of thanking the helper, the videos have been shared on TikTok calling the helper various derogatory names. However, instead of doing that, this young woman shared the video thanking the man for his kindness.

We need to bring this gym culture back!” He also shared a supportive remark through the post.

Joey Swoll is all praise for the young woman

Along with the clip from the gym, Swoll added a message of his own in the video. Thanking the woman, he said, “Thank you that young woman for such an amazing video. This is the type of gym culture that we need more of today.”

Furthermore, Swoll claimed this was the kind of gym culture he grew up in. It is normal for people like him to give a helping hand to a stranger at the gym. While the gym is a place to better oneself, he believes it is also a place for brother-sisterhood. “We are there to support each other, help each other, spot each other whenever needed. The gym community of today needs more of this.”
