Joey Swoll, Talking About Filming In A Gym

Joey Swoll, Talking About Filming In A Gym

So I get that many of this generation have no class. It definitely has no boundaries, and it's sure as hell an “all about me” society. So it's no wonder they think they can do anything that they want to without consequences.

I couldn't believe what I was watching when I saw this influencer posts about gym etiquette. His name is Joey Swoll and I love and follow him because he is for gym positivity. 

So if you know me or follow me you know that I've been in the gym my whole life. Before it was “popular” Before women actually went to the gym, when it was still a “man's world” You know, back in the dinosaur days! 

I started in high school, where I was 1 of 2 women there, thank God for my friend Clara she was big and no one not even the boys messed with her. Then I took weight lifting in college as an elective, maybe there was 3 women were there. When I signed up for a gym right out of college, I was one of the first women in this gym. I continued going to the gym right through my two pregnancies and right after the births. I have done classes, yoga, pole dancing, Ariel yoga, aerobics, and of course weight lifting. At one point I even competed so I know what it takes to be in gyms for hours at a time. I have been to many, many gyms and I have tried it all, so to say I know about gym culture is an understatement. 

But what is going on lately in gyms is unbelievable. The gym culture I know and love was like a family. We help each other, spot each other, and teach each other, this is what we do. But nowadays with this, it's all about me attitude, this space has changed. People think because they are “influencers” they can do whatever they want to. 

That it's okay to set up their camera, their lights and equipment in the gym and God forbid you get into their space, they will call you out. Imagine that? You're in a public space but they will have the nerve to call you Karen for not wanting to be filmed or for walking in “their space” to get to a machine or to the weights. 

I love Joey because he calls everyone out. Not only that he reaches out to the gyms and tells them that some of these idiots are filming in locker rooms where there are clearly signs saying you can't do that and hello! It's illegal as well. Then these “influencers” post these videos making fun of people who ask them not to film them or they are just down right rude to them for asking. What?? Do you think you are that entitled? That you own the gym? That people's privacy is yours to take? Wake the hell up! Learn some respect. Mike Tyson said it best when he said "Social media made y'all too comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched in the face for it." 

Some of you all need to get punched in the face.

So today my friends, let's try to remember that this is a public place and yes, I know many people have great gym culture and are respectful of others, but the rest of you out there, well, Joey says it best…You need to do better, mind your own business. Thanks Joey for making the gym what it's supposed to be and trying to bring it back to what it used to be.
