“Such a Horror”: 24-Year-Old Women Being Attacked in Gym Raises Concern in Bodybuilding World

The art of bodybuilding isn’t merely a passion that many people follow, but it offers much more. Bodybuilders exude confidence and that goes a long way in self-defense. In a recent instance, where a woman had to fight off an intruder inside a gym, she relied on that very same aspect of self-defense. More often than not, women face threats from strangers looking to attack or exploit them in any way possible. However, in an attempt to inspire more women to tackle such threats, as she did, Nashali Alma wants to lead by example.

A video captured on the CCTV camera inside a gym shows Alma working out alone when she heads out to open the door. Unbeknownst to her, an intruder enters the gym and in no time, starts approaching her. The video is now shared on Twitter by HSCO and fans are sharing their strong opinions, most of them showering their support on Alma.

The Bodybuilding world stands by Alma who fought off the intruder

After Natasha Alma hears the doorbell, she drops her barbell to go and open the door. While the man enters, she is still unaware of his intentions and goes back to her workout. However, within a few minutes, he approached her and without saying anything, he started touching her inappropriately. It soon ensued into a full-blown attack, from which Alma managed to escape herself. How she fended off the stranger, became fodder for inspiration for the bodybuilding world. Here’s how a lot of them reacted:

“She is a beast”

“Wth! Such a horror”

“Love this. Sending it to my daughters. Proud of the young lady in the video”

HSCO sheriff shared the video on his Twitter account with the caption, “A woman shares her experience after fighting off a man who physically assaulted her… wanted to speak out about her experience to encourage other women who’ve dealt with similar incidents to speak out”. However, this isn’t the first time a female bodybuilder fought off an intruder. Surpassing all age boundaries, here’s an example of an elderly woman saving the day.

Bodybuilding goes a long way in taking care of oneself

An 82-year-old female bodybuilder once bravely fought off an intruder who broke into her house. Not only did she fight him to save herself, but she also ended up sending the person to the hospital in an ambulance. Late at night on a typical New York day in 2019, Willie Murphy, a senior citizen, faced the challenge. She took him to the cleaners before calling 911 to report.

Instances such as these happen frequently around the world. But, examples such as those set by Nashali Alma and Willie Murphy are inspiring despite the dreadful reality they outline.
