“This Wasn’t by Accident”: Joey Swoll Demands Planet Fitness to Press Charges Against Two Boys for Their Illegal and Shameful Act in the Gym

If you follow the fitness world, you must have come across Joey Swoll. It is hard to miss out on the ‘CEO of Gym Positivity’. The American fitness model, bodybuilding icon, and Instagram star does not shy away when it comes to calling out unethical behavior in the gym. Swoll regularly shares videos of negative behavior in the gym and then calls out the people who upload the video. His mission is to spread gym positivity and make its environment healthy.

Recently Joey Swoll was at it again by uploading a video of two young boys inside the bathroom of a gym trying to take a video of them flexing. However, this video was unethical, as there was someone else also whose privacy was being violated, and Swoll was having none of it.

Joey Swoll calls out gymgoers for their illegal action

Swoll starts the video by showing the original video of the boys in front of a mirror. There was a third person in the video, who was changing, and his privacy was not taken into account. The boys did not seem to care about that.

Swoll then started talking in the next clip and said, “You know, I can’t believe videos like this even exist today… As if people don’t know better, which they do. And these two young men are going to learn today. And to think this wasn’t by accident.” He saw that the whole act was intentional and illegal. He said, “You actually angled your phone at that man, pretending as if you’re flexing, trying to record yourselves just so you can catch that man changing, getting in the shower, getting naked. Which I had to cover, by the way. All for what? So, you could make fun of that man’s shame and post it on social media, get a few laughs and some likes and attention. Really?”

Finally, Swoll mentioned the legal problems of this and wanted the gym to take action. He explained, “This can not only come with jail time but heavy fines and force you to register as a s** offender. So, let me ask you, the likes and attention on TikTok, all that nonsense, is it worth it? You need to do better. Mind your own business.”

Swoll previously accused a young boy of body shaming

A viral video on social media was showing a young kid body shaming a man by recording him and mocking his weight. Swoll immediately took a step and posted the video on Instagram. He also directed some words at the young kid.

Swoll said, “Kid, you need to take some lessons from the man and learn to mind your own business.”
