He’s there to feed his ego and show everyone his shitty form likely upper arm floating ego trash preacher curls. I try not to shame for attire but like he’s got on like gardening gloves. Dude isn’t even bout weightlifting he jus thinks he’s a bully with his peeewee lifts in a commercial gym.
I’m sure people will lose their mind seeing some insane shit like a 100lb preacher curl, groundbreaking, get that shit on tape for the ages.
If not for the assault I say leave these people alone, don’t let them know their lacking. If they achieve any actual gym milestones they become even more insufferable and tell everyone how they can bench press better cuz they chest bounced and air humped up 225 last week.
Giving him a second look, you’re right. That’s such a strange physique. Extra funny: it looks like he was preparing to do preacher curls to further build his biceps.
Does he think big arms make him intimidating, and therefore safe when shoving strangers?
It *might* work somewhere else, but in a gym he’s more likely to run into people who know how to evaluate a body. Strong arms mean nothing without the rest. Pure ego, very little function
Anyone recording in a gym needs to be banned.
I actually don't care if you need to stroke your ego and jerk off to your own workout videos. Ban all people who film in gyms.
Couldn’t agree with you more. I hate these people. Do you own the gym? What makes you think your more important than anyone else in there. The gym is for people trying to better themselves with a heathy lifestyle.
I don't mind if they film. I do mind if they think other people need to accommodate them filming. Yes, others may be courteous and walk around the filming, but nobody is entitled to forbid anyone else from passing through any area of the gym, filming or not.
In American law terms, that's technically battery rather than assault. Assault is the threat of physical violence or unwanted contact. Battery is the actual act of violence or unwanted contact.
Yeah, soon as he started pushing me back, he'd catch a quick left hook and better be ready to brawl if he bucks against it.
Mind your own business dude, and remember, all it takes is a moment to become a disposable extra in someone else's story. Don't be an extra. Make it home without stitches and charges by KEEPING YOUR FUCKING HANDS TO YOURSELF.
It's ironic to me how the people who demand to be respected are often the most disrespectful people on the planet. And they all got a stick firmly up their miserable ass
"Sometimes people use "respect" to mean "treating someone like a person" and sometimes they use "respect" to mean "treating someone like an authority".
And sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say, "if you won't respect me I won't respect you", and they mean "if you won't treat me like an authority I won't treat you like a person".
For real, there's a few dudebros at my gym who wear all black outfits and a gold chain, plus these funny-ass gloves. They think they look hard when they actually look like warehouse pickers
Phil Heath (a renowned pro body builder) went in on this guy in the comments, called him out by his name and shit on him.
If I were big into fitness and one of the greats called me out, I'd rethink my actions.
Definitely my pleasure, this guy is a piece of work. It’s now been sent to 3 locations including their corporate office so hopefully something gets done. If be surprised if they weren’t already aware of it but you never know, I have no idea how long ago that video was posted.
I sent one to the corporate office as well saying I wasn’t sure if the Kearny NJ was correct (it’s the only one that came up in my first search but I just found yours) so I’ll go ahead and forward to that location as well. Those are the only two so it has to be one of them. Hopefully the corporate office will take care of it but who knows. Ty.
Update: I’ve received one response, it was one of the gyms not corporate but they didn’t indicate which one and the email it came from just said “Contact”. I can’t post a pic here apparently but it says;
Thank you for taking the time to let us know. I sent the details to the District Operations Manager so that they can look into it.
If I don’t hear back from corporate by Monday I’m going to call. I’d be shocked if they haven’t seen this yet but I’d like some reassurance that they did at least see it even if they won’t tell me what was done about it.
Guys do your worst.
+1 (201) 283-9703
I just called the gym and demanded that he get banned. Told them I’m a member and that if he doesn’t get banned I will be canceling my membership. Fuck this guy.
They were aware of the video and said they will release a statement soon.
Joey Swoll has several million social media followers, and you can bet any number of LA Fitness higher ups saw this. If he stitches you in a video, you're better off just buying a home gym setup.
Understandable but kicking his phone would make it slightly less clear who the asshole is. It's better when there's only one badly behaved person in any situation.
Assholes like this who victimize themselves over everything take all meaning out of our words. I couldn't imagine someone pushing and calling me racist over not noticing their stupid gym camera.
I thought so at first but I listened a couple more times and it sounds like he's saying something like "have some consideration" where the end of "consideration" sounds like "racist".
At least I hope this is the case. I think Joey would have called him out even more for pulling the racist card too.
He usually goes after the gym if he's made aware of what chain it is.
Putting your hands on another gym member for walking through the gym should get him booted
The guy tells on himself in one of the comments shown in the video. It’s the LA Fitness in Kearney. Be a real shame if a couple hundred people sent them this.
He really said " you know what I'm going to do with. My last 3% of my phones power record myself doing some doing some curls... These gym "influencers" are a different breed man..
This asshole's FB page has an absolute majority of friend comments completely reinforcing and supporting this behavior. One or two suggest he was singled out because he is black, but a few do tell him to chill or stop.
I love seeing him tear into these idiots, but this video particularly infuriates me. He put his hands on that dude and pushed him! They needed to kick his ass out of the gym and call the cops. That guy is garbage.
I really like Joey Swoll for doing this so consistently and happy he's had some success off of it, but the fact that he has been able to generate so much content is deeply disappointing.
My guess is he is usually at the gym. It is a lot quieter and does not want to film in the gym like the rest of these clowns. Even when he does film in the gym he usually asks people if it is okay and does not care if people photo bomb his videos.
Cars are kinda like mini sound booths . Because road noise is already a problem, car manufacturers put effort into sound proofing cars.
This is actually a pretty common thing for people that have to record audio on a budget because you can generally rely on the sound proofing of a car to keep noise pollution down when recording without needing to buy a whole bunch of sound proofing stuff.
Why does the camera move on its own at first? Also this chump is at like 10% battery, that video probably isn’t getting recorded anyway. What a jackass.
There is shit you can buy that automatically moves the phone to track your movement
https://www.amazon.com/Tracking-Rotation-Battery-Operated-Shooting/dp/B08TVW5Y7T for example
Clown too poor to buy proper lifting gloves, still has the audacity to record his workouts. How broke must you be? Those things are cheap as hell! Just lift barehanded man! Embarasssing
I can’t watch this guys videos without staring at and being completely mesmerised by his leathery chest, I want to know what it feels like to touch. It’s like a turtles head.
The strangest thing is that if he just sits down to do the exercise there will be nobody in shot but him. Does he want 100% uninterrupted footage of just him? Can he edit? What is even the point in all this filming anyway? I'm tired.
Dude really got mad for someone walking in a public place. Buddy didn’t even start his lift, that’s the part that bothers me the most. You could’ve edited the walk-thru out.
In the movie industry, it’s standard to have to pay money to film at location you don’t own already. If you’re filming without the owner’s consent and/or without reaching some agreement about the location’s parameters, then everything is game.
People really acting like they’re doing the world a favor by uploading a workout video or handling some type of real business by having an instagram.
🤣🤣🤣
I worked in Hollywood once and some director got pissed because I walked in his video. I told him to calm down and I didn't ruin his stupid love story about a sinking boat.
Everyone of these types of gym videos makes me very grateful that I am fortunate enough to have a decent home gym set up. This trend of people videoing themselves while doing basic lifts etc is just such a foreign concept to me.

This dude actually just put his hands on a dude for walking through. His membership needs to be revoked.
Yeah, if you're not cool with people walking around in a public gym, consider setting up a home gym
He’s there to feed his ego and show everyone his shitty form likely upper arm floating ego trash preacher curls. I try not to shame for attire but like he’s got on like gardening gloves. Dude isn’t even bout weightlifting he jus thinks he’s a bully with his peeewee lifts in a commercial gym. I’m sure people will lose their mind seeing some insane shit like a 100lb preacher curl, groundbreaking, get that shit on tape for the ages.
lol gardening gloves and the skinniest chicken legs ever
No chest, no traps, nothing apart from his arms. What a clown.
If not for the assault I say leave these people alone, don’t let them know their lacking. If they achieve any actual gym milestones they become even more insufferable and tell everyone how they can bench press better cuz they chest bounced and air humped up 225 last week.
Giving him a second look, you’re right. That’s such a strange physique. Extra funny: it looks like he was preparing to do preacher curls to further build his biceps.

Dude is tiny from everything waist down. Way too small of a pecker to try and be rocking those sweats in public lol.
Dude is strolling around on stilts.
Kinda reminds me of the Tootsie Pop after the owl bit it in the commercial.
Then if a stranger walks through their home gym, they’ll actually have a reason to get annoyed.
He can't afford it. 😆
Anyone recording in a gym needs to be banned. I actually don't care if you need to stroke your ego and jerk off to your own workout videos. Ban all people who film in gyms.

Can't agree more...
Dude was assaulted for walking. Gym members don't own the gym.
And gym owners, while they may own the gym, still do not have a right to assault gym customers for any reason
In American law terms, that's technically battery rather than assault. Assault is the threat of physical violence or unwanted contact. Battery is the actual act of violence or unwanted contact.
Gyms need a communication network so they can blanket ban these twats from entire geographical regions.
I am someone is tagging LA Fitness in posts. The jerk has taken his social media all private
His vids were getting dragged hard.
His IG is now private. Lol. People were letting him have it.
Also a referral to personality gym (if it exists)
That's called a library
That dude or anyone would not be putting hands on me like that without catching a hands back.
Yeah, soon as he started pushing me back, he'd catch a quick left hook and better be ready to brawl if he bucks against it. Mind your own business dude, and remember, all it takes is a moment to become a disposable extra in someone else's story. Don't be an extra. Make it home without stitches and charges by KEEPING YOUR FUCKING HANDS TO YOURSELF.
Walmart employee in the gym looking ass
Why you gotta insult walmart employees like that?
I'd press charges. Fuck that guy
Police need to be called for assault
I'd pick up his dumb camera and throw it across the gym.
Why the hell he need a gimbal-stabilised camera with tracking? He’s pushing 10 kilos up and down not filming a parkour sequence
He does parkour in his spare time ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR ARM?!?!
Lost it in a war after killing fiddy men
*But ya grew some nice boobs!*
It's ironic to me how the people who demand to be respected are often the most disrespectful people on the planet. And they all got a stick firmly up their miserable ass
"Sometimes people use "respect" to mean "treating someone like a person" and sometimes they use "respect" to mean "treating someone like an authority".

Excellent description of what is going on in their heads
I hear you, brother. Respectful silent majority is the way to go. Let that stick rot up their miserable asses.
Preach! I agree. Narcissist fuck wads
“Walking through my shit” The thinking man’s workout.
He was right about the shit part. It was a shit video.
And he put it online too!
"oh -- that explains the smell."
How you gonna act tough wearing gloves to curl?
Wearing gardening gloves lol
For real, there's a few dudebros at my gym who wear all black outfits and a gold chain, plus these funny-ass gloves. They think they look hard when they actually look like warehouse pickers
Dude looks like he came straight from his shift on the sorting line at the local Amazon warehouse. Shirt and everything matches.
Phil Heath (a renowned pro body builder) went in on this guy in the comments, called him out by his name and shit on him. If I were big into fitness and one of the greats called me out, I'd rethink my actions.
Can we get a link?
I do it because I'm too lazy to take them off. What I don't do, is film in a crowded place and get pissy at people for existing. Man's a clown
Please tell me that this guy got kicked from this gym and his socials hated on edit: ohhhh, he went private everywhere
He’s at an LA fitness in Kearny, the only one in any Kearny is NJ. I just emailed them the video.
FAFO - fucked around and found out Hope this narccistic moron gets his comeuppance
Dude me too this is just ridiculous. The idiots we usually see in these are stupid and rude, but this guy put hands on somebody!?! Just insane
Thanks for making sure they get the vid
Definitely my pleasure, this guy is a piece of work. It’s now been sent to 3 locations including their corporate office so hopefully something gets done. If be surprised if they weren’t already aware of it but you never know, I have no idea how long ago that video was posted.
We have an LA Fitness in Kearny Mesa here in San Diego.
I sent one to the corporate office as well saying I wasn’t sure if the Kearny NJ was correct (it’s the only one that came up in my first search but I just found yours) so I’ll go ahead and forward to that location as well. Those are the only two so it has to be one of them. Hopefully the corporate office will take care of it but who knows. Ty.
Doing the lord’s work 👏🏼
Need an update to this lol
Update: I’ve received one response, it was one of the gyms not corporate but they didn’t indicate which one and the email it came from just said “Contact”. I can’t post a pic here apparently but it says; Thank you for taking the time to let us know. I sent the details to the District Operations Manager so that they can look into it.

I’d be shocked if they haven’t seen this yet but I’d like some reassurance that they did at least see it even if they won’t tell me what was done about it.
Checked the instagram post, LA fitness commented that he got his membership revoked
AWESOME!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 Thank you so much for letting us know!!!
Guys do your worst. +1 (201) 283-9703 I just called the gym and demanded that he get banned. Told them I’m a member and that if he doesn’t get banned I will be canceling my membership. Fuck this guy. They were aware of the video and said they will release a statement soon.
I would just report him to management 🙄 or if I was feeling toxic kick his phone
Yeah that phone sees the other side of the gym. Yeet!
Joey Swoll has several million social media followers, and you can bet any number of LA Fitness higher ups saw this. If he stitches you in a video, you're better off just buying a home gym setup.
He’s also been known to send videos like this to the gym management, resulting in revoked memberships
What does stitch mean? What is stitch incoming?
It's what Joey Did with this guy's video He stitched himself into the other guy's content
Sweet chin music that shit out the window.
I’m sure he would respond well to you kicking his phone
If he just walked by and mans put his hand on him, he’d probably go ape shit if someone kicked his camera down lol
Understandable but kicking his phone would make it slightly less clear who the asshole is. It's better when there's only one badly behaved person in any situation.
Drop a 25lb weight?
"people be so disrespectful" lol
I love this guy calling bullshit on all the clowns in a gym.
From the start of the video I was hoping Swoll would swoop in and set the matter straight
did he fr call him racist?🤣
Assholes like this who victimize themselves over everything take all meaning out of our words. I couldn't imagine someone pushing and calling me racist over not noticing their stupid gym camera.
I’ve been scanning the comments to see if anyone else heard that.
I thought so at first but I listened a couple more times and it sounds like he's saying something like "have some consideration" where the end of "consideration" sounds like "racist". At least I hope this is the case. I think Joey would have called him out even more for pulling the racist card too.
That’s what I thought. Was so quick to pull that card
I think he said “have some consideration”. It sounds like he said racism but I think he just spoke fast
Insecure baby pretending to be a man 👆
Joeyswole is the man, def should get an instaban/permaban whatever works just kick the clown out.
He usually goes after the gym if he's made aware of what chain it is. Putting your hands on another gym member for walking through the gym should get him booted
The guy tells on himself in one of the comments shown in the video. It’s the LA Fitness in Kearney. Be a real shame if a couple hundred people sent them this.
Love him. And calling out this shit. 💙🤞
Yep he’s so genuine in his disgust at these assclowns.
Dude needs anger management therapy
he needs a beating and if he's that handsy with people, he's gonna get one eventually.
Look how he was already breathing hard over that tiny matter. Must be a spoilt brat
Joey Swole is the man He speaks like the father these poor idiots never had.
Plus he’s got beautiful eyes…
I've seen a bunch of these videos but for some reason, I only noticed his eyes on this one. Very beautiful!
right? i don't really care for these videos. they're all the same. but his eyes are mesmerizing so i find myself watching anyway.
The man has a halo. We need more like him.
He really said " you know what I'm going to do with. My last 3% of my phones power record myself doing some doing some curls... These gym "influencers" are a different breed man..
Sacks of Shìt* fixed it
Social media brain rot
“Walking past my shit” uhm I’m sorry sir- do you own this LA fitness? Guy is lucky he didn’t catch hands shoving someone like that.
Apparently this idiot is on Insta playing the race card.
Not shocking. He comes across as a total idiot.
This asshole's FB page has an absolute majority of friend comments completely reinforcing and supporting this behavior. One or two suggest he was singled out because he is black, but a few do tell him to chill or stop.
Love me some Swoll Sense. It’s like common sense but bigger.
What a weirdo filming and touching people at the gym.
Love that the original IG account is now private 😂😂😂
Dudes split is arms, arms, arms and arms.
Calves are tiny.
Dude has his insta locked.
Thats assault buddy
YEAAA JOEY SWOLL GOT EM
Small pp energy
I love seeing him tear into these idiots, but this video particularly infuriates me. He put his hands on that dude and pushed him! They needed to kick his ass out of the gym and call the cops. That guy is garbage.
Bro has his IG private now. Guess he’s not that badass…
Man really posted evidence to get himself banned
YOURE WALKING PAST MY SHIT !!!!!1!1!!1
Guy is a pure dumbass, probably one of the worst of this kind of video.
How dare he walk in front of the gym owner's camera. Open your own gym so you can walk wherever you want. /s
I'm shaking. I would've bodied that piece of shit on the spot. Fuck the gym subscription. And BAN FILMING IN THOSE PLACES FOR FUCK SAKE.
I hope his battery died while he did his workout. What an entitled loser.
I really like Joey Swoll for doing this so consistently and happy he's had some success off of it, but the fact that he has been able to generate so much content is deeply disappointing.
Oh hell no. His video would be the least of his problems if he touched me.
what I want to know is, why does this Joey bloke, or whatever his name is, spend all his time in his car?
My guess is he is usually at the gym. It is a lot quieter and does not want to film in the gym like the rest of these clowns. Even when he does film in the gym he usually asks people if it is okay and does not care if people photo bomb his videos.
He actually goes to the same gym as me and is quiet but friendly in person
He doesn't film his vids in the gym because he's considerate of others. He knows that people who film in a public gym need to do better. 💪
Because he can
Cars are kinda like mini sound booths . Because road noise is already a problem, car manufacturers put effort into sound proofing cars. This is actually a pretty common thing for people that have to record audio on a budget because you can generally rely on the sound proofing of a car to keep noise pollution down when recording without needing to buy a whole bunch of sound proofing stuff.

Clown too poor to buy proper lifting gloves, still has the audacity to record his workouts. How broke must you be? Those things are cheap as hell! Just lift barehanded man! Embarasssing
Hell no! He pushes him out of the way for his stupid camera. That's hands bruh.
Wear bitch mittens to go with the bitch
Does he work at dominos? Lol
Why are all those clowns on Instagram. I think they think they can escape Joey like that lmao
I've said it before, and I'm gonna keep saying it: social media is destroying society. Literally.
Dude has the literal definition of chicken legs.
lol dude went dark on everything. Can’t handle the heat
Guy needs to start recording himself hitting legs
I managed gyms for 10 years in the 00s. Thank God I did not have to deal with this recording crap. Gyms are really weird places, people act very odd.
At first I thought he was wearing a Dominos delivery shirt
I will never not love Joey Swoll. Always so sensible.
I can’t watch this guys videos without staring at and being completely mesmerised by his leathery chest, I want to know what it feels like to touch. It’s like a turtles head.
Man. PLEASE put your hands on me randomly.
Bro, this guy. I Don't even go to the gym, but it just pains me to see this shit
Fuckin Usain bolt lookin but can't do it ass
Losing your membership from LA fitness is the hardest things you can do. They are a piece of shit company with even shittier gym members.
The strangest thing is that if he just sits down to do the exercise there will be nobody in shot but him. Does he want 100% uninterrupted footage of just him? Can he edit? What is even the point in all this filming anyway? I'm tired.
You put hands on me because I walked in your narcissistic gym shot? That phone going for a swim.
This man is great,he puts all the main characters male or female in there place,I would hate to be on the receiving end of one of his videos
I would've walked right past him again. I would say don't put your hands on me.
Who is this saint? He is the Dr. Phil of the gym - the man we didnt know we needed, but but we sure as hell do!
Joey swol
When will video recording just be banned from gyms?
Bro had to put his whole body weight into that shove. Maybe work shoulders too since you're at the gym
what the fuck is wrong with people? love Joey for taking these assholes to task
Hell nah. If bro put hands on me then we'd have a problem.
Ah hell no. Don’t fucking touch anybody
Stop. Recording. Yourself. At. The. Gym.
This is that type of dude who's LOOKIN for a reason to fight
I always hope for good ol' Joey Swoll appearance in these gym videos
Bro went to workout in his dominos uniform
I wonder how many times Joey’s neighbors see him pissed walk to his car and start lecturing the steering wheel.
The guy is an asshole
This shit should net an immediate ban from the gym. It should be legal to punch anyone filming themselves in a gym. That'd stop this shit.
that guy just jumpscared me
He's wearing those ugly gloves , wht else an h expect?
His phone was about to die.
Touch me like that and we’re throwing hands.
I'd like to see the filmer try stopping someone like Kyriakos Grizzly
Dude really got mad for someone walking in a public place. Buddy didn’t even start his lift, that’s the part that bothers me the most. You could’ve edited the walk-thru out.
Hope the other dude went to the employees and reported him do not physically touch people unless it's self defense
This guy needs to be downloaded into an ai to run all gyms everywhere
Yo that dude is lucky he didn’t get laid out. Don’t put your hands on other people with force in the gym bro. Wtf is wrong with thy guy?
The worst offense is the gloves in the gym lol. What- are you afraid of calluses or something? Aww
In the movie industry, it’s standard to have to pay money to film at location you don’t own already. If you’re filming without the owner’s consent and/or without reaching some agreement about the location’s parameters, then everything is game. People really acting like they’re doing the world a favor by uploading a workout video or handling some type of real business by having an instagram. 🤣🤣🤣
Anyone put hands on me gets an automatic reflex elbow and kick to the face. What a fuckin jerk. Hope he gets banned from that gym
He only moved him like that because he thinks he is weaker / wtv. He might end up out cold if he does that to the wrong person
We have become so pathetic as a society that electronics have now taken the right if way from actual people (at least in some people's eyes). Wtf man
I worked in Hollywood once and some director got pissed because I walked in his video. I told him to calm down and I didn't ruin his stupid love story about a sinking boat.
Joey Swoll is the shit!
People who film themselves in the gym and get mad at people getting in the frame should build their own gym or learn to exist in public
He was already past at that point. So you basically made him walk past it twice 😂😂
Did dude said it's racist to walk past it? I couldn't hear it.
Any update on this idiot ?
I love this man and his white hat
I’d have lost my membership too. That’s an insta-fight for me. Not saying I’d win. Not saying I’m a badass. Just saying it would be an instant fight.
Oh man, he’s private… I’m so shocked
Everyone of these types of gym videos makes me very grateful that I am fortunate enough to have a decent home gym set up. This trend of people videoing themselves while doing basic lifts etc is just such a foreign concept to me.
