People frequently overlook the importance of etiquette in places like gyms and fitness centers. However, with the introduction of social media, netizens have discovered a way to identify and correct such behavior. Even experienced bodybuilders like Flex Wheeler use these platforms to teach fitness enthusiasts about ethical conduct. A video recently appeared on the internet, leaving netizens of the fitness sector questioning the attitudes of youthful gym-goers.

Last week, a female IFBB pro-bodybuilder posted a video of herself attempting various bodybuilding poses. However, netizens noticed how her fellow gym-goers acted. It didn’t take long for them to call out the young patrons of the gym for their inappropriate behavior.

On 24th April 2023, IFBB Pro bodybuilder Leah L Dennie posted a video on Instagram flexing her incredible physique. In the video, while Dennie was trying out different poses, a group of young men entered the room and stood behind her in a circle discussing something. While Dennie continued with her posing, the boys were seen nonchalantly taking off their shirts while immersed in their conversations.

Later, without paying any heed to the bodybuilder, they walked out of the room. The incident didn’t sit well with either the bodybuilder or the netizens. Highlighted on the video were the words “Counting all the a**holes in the room…😂😂.” Subtly taking a dig at the men in the background, she added in the caption, “Good times…more accountability with the shirt off 🤣😂.”

Soon after, fans took to the comments section to share their thoughts on the matter. While replying to her fans in the comments, Dennie also revealed how she has encountered situations where people have walked into the room and changed the lighting of the place based on their preferences without paying attention to their surroundings.

Fans were left baffled by the reaction of the onlookers

Stunned by the reaction, a fan exclaimed, “What the hell is happening behind you???” Awed by her posing, one user wrote, “If i saw you posing… my jaw would have dropped.. then ask to take a pic after you were done posing. 👏🔥😍” Hinting towards the improper gym etiquette, another one commented, “Some people have really poor gym etiquette.
