A TikToker has been slammed by a popular gymfluencer after she posted a video of her getting irate with people working out around her.
The Australian woman has received a roasting online after Joey Swoll took to social media to react to a video she uploaded on her TikTok page – that has since gone viral.

She captioned the clip: “The struggle is so real,” and it shows a compilation of people walking in front of her tripod which was positioned behind her.
An overlay on the TikTok video reads: “POV Trying to film content in a busy gym.”
Swoll’s reaction consisted of him calling out the woman for ‘over-reacting’ when fellow gym-goers walked in front of her camera.
“This entitlement when filming in the gym needs to stop,” he said.
“I can’t believe that this nonsense still exists, and is it really that big of a deal if somebody walks through your video?
“If so, maybe you shouldn’t set your camera up in front of some free-weights and machines, and the fact that you pin this to the top of your page as if this is something to be proud of – seriously?”

Swoll continued: “And I’m no lip reader but I’m pretty sure that you say ‘get out of the way’. I’m sorry, you don’t own the gym just because you’re filming doesn’t mean everybody else has to stop there workout just for you, or ‘get out of your way’.
“But hey, if you want to film somewhere where nobody is going to walk through your video what you can do is – you please build as home gym, train there.
“Until then, you need to do better – mind your own business.”
The TikToker has left the video, which she uploaded in August, up on her account but has unpinned it.
Taking to the comments of the woman’s video, one person wrote: “POV trying to workout when there’s a tripod next to the dumbbells x.”
To which she replied: “The tripod was actually behind me not in front of the dumbbells x.”

Many users have been quick to share their thoughts on Swoll’s post.
One said: “Thank God Joey Swoll called you out. It’s no ones responsibility to look for your poorly placed camera.”
Another typed: “Could you not tape the area off so the other paying members can’t enter?”
While someone else commented: “I could see the annoyance (still would understand it) if her camera was closer to her and she wasn’t taking up that entire corner including equipment people need to use… but the shot is taking up so much space and people shouldn’t have to wait for her to finish filming.”
