Joey Swoll is back in the news for calling out yet another influencer for their gym misconduct.
The self-titled 'CEO of Gym Positivity' is known for being ruthless on social media when people post their misbehaviours at public gyms, and this influencer is not immune to the criticism.

The woman in question is a fitness coach and posts content related to her work across social media channels.
She captured the attention of the general public when she simply posted a video of herself doing some deadlifts on her Instagram story.
It wasn't anything to do with her form or anything like that, but instead the viral clip was all to do with her exchange with another fellow gym-goer.
The fitness coach can be seen exercising by the weight rack, and seemingly tells a man off for walking across the camera and putting his weights back.
“I’m in the middle of a set,” she says to the man, who then apologises and leaves the area, despite seemingly doing nothing wrong.
This is where Joey Swoll comes in.
With millions of followers across his accounts, the reaction video the bodybuilder made got over 25 million views on TikTok in just over one day.
Swoll captioned the clip: “As a personal trainer and coach, you need to set a better example for the gym community.”
After letting the clip play, he spoke to his followers to point out her behaviour: “Just because you’re filming at the gym does not mean that everybody else has to stop their workout just for you,
“This man is nothing but nice to you, and you decided to put this post up anyway. Seriously?
“I hope this gym sees this and kicks your a** out,” he said.
It didn't stop there though, as Swoll also called out her criticism of another man using a treadmill on a steep incline, which she captioned: “Please don’t be this person leaning back on treadmills.”
Most people agreed with Swoll in the comments below his TikTok video.
One user said: "'I’m in the middle of a set' so no one can walk by…???"
Another commented: "Why do people do their sets in front of the rack? It’s way too common"
A third posted: "Aw the poor man. He looks so kind," while a fourth called to 'ban filming in gyms'.
The influencer in question has not yet responded to the video, but has deactivated or made her social media accounts private.
This comes weeks after Swoll called out a different influencer for the types of exercises she was doing in the gym, though she later responded and said that she 'won't let people bully' her into making her accounts private.
