It's sad that instead of just saying she was wrong and sorry. She doubles down, and then triple down on top of it. Sad that people who have this mind set can't see what their actions are really doing.
In fact, I suspect he caters his videos to keep it pretty fair, holding off on some videos or shifting things around to keep that balance. My fav videos are his comedy sketches, his bathroom sketches, or the times he explains workouts.
I understand your point but we need to stop justifying ourselves to the woke brigade. They want this to be the main topic as it stops us talking about the real problem, ‘their own behaviour’.
She accused the man of harassing her. Unfortunately for her the gym released a video that was a LIE. There was no harassment nor stealing an equipment from her. Also she said that those men were her bros making a protective stance for her, but guess what? Two of those men came forward and said they don’t know her. Such a liar!
This is not a petty issue. A trainer engaging in behavior that would make others who might not be in good shape afraid to step foot in a gym because they might be ridiculed like this? Who needs to go to a gym the most but someone who is not in good shape, who may not be familiar with the equipment and might make mistakes? And who has she discouraged but those people? Who would you expect to be responsible for encouraging and helping those who might not be getting it right, but the trainers and regular customers. If she was a decent person, she could have approached him and kindly said, "Excuse me, I think it's great that you are taking steps to improve your physical fitness, and you're doing great. I'm a trainer, and would you mind if i gave you a little pointer that might make this exercise more effective?" If gyms had people who behaved like that, how much more repeat customers would they have, instead of being packed with new customers in January who get discouraged and drop out after a couple weeks. Good job, Ms influencer. You've really boosted your industry. I think i'll do my workouts at home.

She 100% destroyed her own personal brand for a few minutes of laughs and views to make fun of a random guy, and switched her story later. Honestly, as a black woman, I have 0 sympathy for her.

The Democrats have been nurturing, aka exploiting, black victimization for decades. The plan is clearly both working and backfiring. The Internet has given many black people the ability to get information outside of their communities, communities that have been historically controlled by black Democrats. I knew one day the time would come when black people come to the realization they've been used and duped by Democrats for half a century or more. Today is that day. The tides are turning. Most people see it for what it is: class warfare and more control for the ruling class. This is why the Democrats are so desperate to shut down free exchange of information.

Thank you for letting me have my rave, your video was very eye opening and I have subscribed to your channel Rob T, Australia 🇦🇺
Because most of the times it coyld be considered good ad for the gym. But yeah I would lovw if filming in gyms would be banned. If you wanna play fitness influencer, make your own gym
Why would they? You're in public. No expectation of privacy in public. You're being filmed everywhere you go. Even security camera footage can end up online. Of course specific gyms can and do ban the use of recording, but just because a few bad apples are out there doesn't mean there should be a global ban.
@@DreamTerrorist public but it's private property. That's why you can't just walk in there without a subscription and they can restrict whatever they want. There are various reasons why they don't ban filming in gyms...but it being "public" isn't the only reason why like it's out of the gym's hands. lol
She cries racism because people called her out. You don't get a pass to be a jerk because you're black. It has nothing to do with color, it has to do with crappy attitude. Shame on her. Be kind and help others if you have fitness knowledge, not make fun of them. Disgusting. Your race card has been declined, ma'am.
So, the woman actually suddenly claimed that the man she was making fun of threatened her in the gym first, and that the group of black men around her were there to protect her from him, which was immediately proven false from 24-hour Fitness. Yes, they did ban her permanently from all locations. So she was completely shut down in all ways from claiming oppression. She was the oppressor in all ways and has zero accountability.
Ya she has made like 3 vids now changing her excuse😂 she makes a new one & deletes original and now has "approved comments only" so she has like 2 or 3 comments on each lmao
I don't think so. The only thing I don't like about her content is that she puts down child free people. Not everyone is child free because they want to party, there are some deep reasons to defy human biology. But other than that I find myself agreeing to her thoughts. She is not maga for sure.
THAT’S INFURIATING… I don’t think anyone would genuinely care enough to personally attack you for being black on the internet. Being called out for bullying and then pulling the race card is insane, take some responsibility and wake up.
I didn’t see anything funny…really don’t know what she thought she was filming. He had good form, was doing an actual exercise 🤷🏼♀️ Seems like she needs to research and up her game if she’s supposedly a trainer herself
She needs to look into another profession. For real. . McDonalds or Jack In The Box does alot of hiring. The gym isn't where she should be working at all.
We’ve all gotten used to cameras of some sort, but often a cellphone, being shoved in our faces or pointed at us while we’re only going about our daily business. Any objection just gets you screamed at and reminded that you can’t stop these people from engaging in this objectionable behaviour. There are now even “internet pranksters” who initiate situations so that they can video some innocent person making a fool of themselves or being made to look a fool. Just because you CAN doesn’t mean you SHOULD. Filming people unbeknownst to them is ignorant, impolite and rude. Making fun of them in addition is unforgivable, it says a lot more about the person filming than it does about the object of the video, and not in a good way.
There's such a 'boy cries wolf' phenomena when it comes to the word 'racism.' And making fun of somebody at the gym trying to better themselves is just disgusting.
@@nataliesanchez871 She claimed the man in the video approached her & asked for the box he went on to use, that she said no & he took it anyway, and that it was necessary for the other men in the clip to take up a "protective stance" (?) around her. Total nonsense.
@@justdiane5 she would've lied about anyone if it benefitted her. People like this are harmful to everyone around them. You men are lucky that women like this are so eager to out themselves online. May she stay forever single!
I have a home gym and it’s awesome. Our main set was $3,000 but we were able to make payments and then we paid it off early. We also have a hip thruster machine which is awesome and pretty affordable, we also got that on a payment plan. We have a treadmill which was $2,000 but we bought it in the store but I’m sure you can make payment plans as well. It is very doable with payment plans these days
I'm lucky enough to have a home gym. It used to be a barn but we use it as a gym now... My brother and dad have spent countless years and thousands of dollars building it up. My husband has even added to it now. I'm so glad I don't have to deal with the gym BS. I get to just lift in peace... Except for when my toddler decides he wants to join me on the treadmill or try to mimic me deadlifting.
Both men and women deal with the bullying at gyms and a lot won't even step foot in one, for fear they will end up as a joke on the internet. I'm thankful I was in the gym before the cell phone issues but I still had a bunch of men stand next to me and tell me how fat I was. I commend you for taking it into your own hands and making your own gym. Good luck with your journey ❤
Can y’all give ya girl some tips and tricks for a home gym workout/starting a home gym. I’m working on a teacher salary and have little space but I do have a big backyard. So like whats the most basic equipment to get/most versatile? Any advice would help.
@The_1995_ Bands..dumbells. the most basic you can get and a good start. Squats and ab lifts just need you..or a wall or a chair. I did opt for adjustable dumbells..but those are pricey. So find like 3 sets that are a good fit for what you are looking for. I have a lot more equipment now, but that's how I started and you can do a lot with those.
it's astounding her level of arrogance and delusion. To anyone with 1 working braincell it would have been obvious your behaviour wasn't ok, but that just doesnt fit into her narcissistic world view
I love Joey! I’m very uncomfortable working out at the gym. I’m a woman who’s not in great shape, but I work my butt off at the gym. I’m always worried about someone making fun of me because I’m not in great shape. I’d be traumatized if some idiot filmed me and put me on their social media to laugh at me. Thanks Joey!!
There are some videos on RUclips or tv you can do at home but they find fault with everything. Because they are insecure with their own image and lash out
I’ve had it with people like her. I’m glad people are finally waking up and are no longer taking heed to these liars of victim hood when they, in fact, are the victimizers.
Im a 6'2 240lb retired combat veteran with multiple ailments and injuries.I'm still stronger then most, however my mobility has severely declined. The owner of the small gym i attend, showed me this very exercise. Its now one of my new favorites. Keep up the good work JS.
@@ceasarsaran8573 I certainly do not claim to be a physical trainer. The only thing I can say is I absolutely do not feel it in my core. I had a fair amount of guidance on this exercise, so I don't think I'm doing it wrong. But maybe if it was tweeked...
This woman is why I’ll be going to a gym in a hospital. I’m disabled both physically and mentally and I’m scared of being filmed and mocked in a regular gym.
Most people aren’t like her. I’ve found the gym community to be one of the more welcoming I’ve approached, considering a lot of the “gym bros” were teenagers who were fat and bullied for it who got sick of it and fell in love with working out so they empathise with the mindset you have. I assure you most people fall on the joey swole side of mentality rather than this horrible lady, but whatever makes you feel comfortable in bettering yourself :)
I’m 55 year guy carrying 50 extra pounds and not disabled, and I’m scared to go to the gym for fear of being mocked. I can’t imagine what it’s like for you. There’s way too many videos out there that sure do make it seem like gyms are full of judgemental, ignorant people.
@@canadablake Even if you’re scared I’d recommend heading to one and talking to the staff there, most I’ve found are pretty genuinely kind with that sorta thing since everyone knows it’s daunting at first
I'm from a predominantly black independent country and thanks to the internet black Americans are being exposed more and more as entitled and honestly I think racist. I'm cringing so much right now.
Yeah they are a totally different kind of people here in America. The black immigrants are awesome most of the time and separate themselves from black Americans. They want to get educated and be successful in life and most of them do. Statistically they are more successful than white Americans.
This video is refreshing in every point it made. You have a very down to earth political opinion while also managing to not really take a political side while talking about it. Extra props for your ability to recognize previous mistakes you made and grow as an entertainer. I just subscribed based on this video alone
Life coaches are some of the most terrible people. They want to focus on other people's problems to make themselves feel better about their shitty life choices.
Yeah, that's like the cherry on top of the coo coo cake. "Life coach."😂 There was that woman who pepper sprayed her uber driver for no reason. Turns out, that woman apparently runs a health and wellness program.🤦
It's very telling that she says it's unacceptable behavior to to leave "hateful comments" (probably criticism) on her posts but apparently totally OK for her to ridicule people IRL.
You are such a breath of fresh air in today’s society. As a white male who has toxic masculinity flowing through his veins, it’s refreshing to see common sense making a comeback. Love your content and always look forward to your next video. Keep up the good work, you make the world a better place.
She literally said she was. She was calling the people that were calling her out white Republicans and that the backlash made her want to vote for Kamala more. So it's not surprising that this is how she behaves.
Amala, I love how articulate and honest you are. I do not share all of your views, political or otherwise, but I love that I can enjoy your content and appreciate you very much. For me, that’s what it’s all about. Being able to support each other regardless of our differences. ❤
Oh, from a final update from Joey, the gym pulled the security tapes to review her other allegations and said they were all “unfounded”. In addition to banning her from the gym.
How does a grown adult come to the conclusion that openly, mockingly laughing at someone (especially while filming it for the entire internet) is the right approach to anything? It’s hard to understand how someone could think that's acceptable.
How is a black woman making fun of a black man at the end have anything to do with racism? The entitlement of this woman is disgusting! She's going to cry racism while she's making fun of a black man??? What about him and his struggles as a black man? This woman is pathetic. Couple weekends ago I finally saw someone freak out like this at the laundromat and was like omg these people are real! 😱
@@abbiereynolds8016 My ex gf's dad says there's black men /women and then there's the niggers. Sort of like the difference between a gay man and a faggot! I didn't reply to his words, but I understood what he meant. And btw, he is black.
Not to mention, in one of her posts, she shamed black women who had the *AUDACITY* to actually AGREE with Joey!! That’s sure some “black woman empowerment” right there 🙄🤦♀️
I've been working out for almost two years now and like most things I get into I heavily researched proper form, the best exercises for certain muscle groups, how to properly nourish your body, etc. and legit the second I saw the set up and the way that man was working out and his form, I knew he was doing a variation of bent over rows...I don't see how she's a trainer when its really not that hard to tell when someone is doing a real workout if you have genuinely exercised before
A narcissist of the Victimhood Mentality. She can NEVER be responsible for her OWN actions-- it’s the easy way out of accountability to play the faux victim.
But she didn’t just “show up” she publicly mocked someone for doing legitimate exercises exposing her own ignorance and in top of that broke the rules of the gym. She was being full of herself and incredibly rude and it had nothing to do with the color of her skin and everything to do with her actions.
She has been banned by the gym. She accused the victim of bulling her & that was a lie (he never talked to her), the men standing next to her, she claimed was protecting her from the victim & they came out saying that also was a lie.
0:44 She [the activist] says all that but makes us look bad by using the race card to shield herself from any kind of accountability. Interesting. Get her, Amala
They should do what some do in comedy clubs, and take the phones from people when they come in, lock them in a bag and they get them back when they leave. That would improve gym culture 1000%
Apparently we haven’t seen all, cos the freaking lady who is supposed to be a trainer don’t even know abt the exercise… u would assume a trainer will have empathy cos she should know ppl are struggling to get good shape but no … a freaking beacon of darkness
If that lady was a true personal trainer who uplifts others (or whatever she has on her social media) she would have spoken to the gentleman doing the exercise, learned that it is a legitimate exercise and filmed him (with his permission of course) doing and explaining it to her viewers. She could have used it as a teachable moment. But, instead she had to be a jerk. JS is right. She should be ashamed of herself.
As someone who grew up without social media, it wasn't until I was about 18 it became a thing, I simply don't understand the online backlash thing. The Internet isn't the real world. I can turn my phone of at any time I want and that whole world just doesn't exist. It must be awful for young people today growing up with this constantly.
Anyone who is narcissistic enough to call themselves "beacon of hope" is anything but that. Praises like that is to be earned and for other people to say
This is part of the anxiety I have about going to the gym. Nobody wants to be made fun of for whatever reason. I used to weigh over 530 lbs, and now im 199lbs, and I'm more self-conscious now more than ever because of the loose skin. I am terrified about being filmed or whatever just to be poked fun of.
I'm a personal trainer in an Australian gym. I would never video and make fun of a member exercising.... The rude, fake and non-genuine things people do for likes and followers....

Most people use thier phones for music or what ever they listen too.
Because most of the times it coyld be considered good ad for the gym. But yeah I would lovw if filming in gyms would be banned. If you wanna play fitness influencer, make your own gym
Why would they? You're in public. No expectation of privacy in public. You're being filmed everywhere you go. Even security camera footage can end up online. Of course specific gyms can and do ban the use of recording, but just because a few bad apples are out there doesn't mean there should be a global ban.
@@DreamTerrorist public but it's private property. That's why you can't just walk in there without a subscription and they can restrict whatever they want. There are various reasons why they don't ban filming in gyms...but it being "public" isn't the only reason why like it's out of the gym's hands. lol
I would love to know what opened your eyes ? I was young as well but I never played a victim because my parents never let it fly.
She cries racism because people called her out. You don't get a pass to be a jerk because you're black. It has nothing to do with color, it has to do with crappy attitude. Shame on her. Be kind and help others if you have fitness knowledge, not make fun of them. Disgusting. Your race card has been declined, ma'am.
Unfortunately her colour does come into it……. She’s been told her whole life she’s a victim by other people that look like her, it’s SO BORING 🥱
@@johnlowe7355so you’ve taken one person’s shitty behaviour and applied it to her race… I’m curious if you see what you’re doing here
@@emerym4515 i dont think that comment above you was siding to the influencer
She was ridiculing a black man minding her business, think about that.
@@emerym4515I'm black and I'm applying it to millions not all.
So, the woman actually suddenly claimed that the man she was making fun of threatened her in the gym first, and that the group of black men around her were there to protect her from him, which was immediately proven false from 24-hour Fitness. Yes, they did ban her permanently from all locations. So she was completely shut down in all ways from claiming oppression. She was the oppressor in all ways and has zero accountability.
Ya she has made like 3 vids now changing her excuse😂 she makes a new one & deletes original and now has "approved comments only" so she has like 2 or 3 comments on each lmao
Good for banning her!
False accusations
Wow, you're so young and yet so smart and articulate.
But too Maga for me
I don't think so. The only thing I don't like about her content is that she puts down child free people. Not everyone is child free because they want to party, there are some deep reasons to defy human biology. But other than that I find myself agreeing to her thoughts. She is not maga for sure.
I hope she learns and grows from this like you have Amala. I want her to become the beacon of hope. I hope she puts out an apology video.
Not narcissistic people, it's always someone else's fault. She's a horrible excuse for a human.
THAT’S INFURIATING… I don’t think anyone would genuinely care enough to personally attack you for being black on the internet. Being called out for bullying and then pulling the race card is insane, take some responsibility and wake up.
She has a lot of growing up to do.
SHE'S the racist here. She specifically picked a white man to bully.
Yeah but how many black people will stick up for her just for being black. Whites cant do that.
"Pulling the race card" how predictable
That train is never late
That the only card that they have in there deck
It doesn’t even make sense since she was bullying a black man
@@charminsi She pulled the race card for people calling her out
Embarrassing
I didn’t see anything funny…really don’t know what she thought she was filming. He had good form, was doing an actual exercise 🤷🏼♀️ Seems like she needs to research and up her game if she’s supposedly a trainer herself
Zactly!
She needs to look into another profession. For real. . McDonalds or Jack In The Box does alot of hiring. The gym isn't where she should be working at all.
yup, anyone that knows anything about lifting weights should know about the seal row. Where did she get her certification from?
Yeah, i dont know why that got so much attention. He obviously knew what he was doing, and he had good form.
Nah, she's not a real trainer... she's a slacker influencer who finally got her shit roasted
She doubled down..
She tried every card. BUT YOU WRONG GIRL!!!
We’ve all gotten used to cameras of some sort, but often a cellphone, being shoved in our faces or pointed at us while we’re only going about our daily business. Any objection just gets you screamed at and reminded that you can’t stop these people from engaging in this objectionable behaviour. There are now even “internet pranksters” who initiate situations so that they can video some innocent person making a fool of themselves or being made to look a fool. Just because you CAN doesn’t mean you SHOULD. Filming people unbeknownst to them is ignorant, impolite and rude. Making fun of them in addition is unforgivable, it says a lot more about the person filming than it does about the object of the video, and not in a good way.
There's such a 'boy cries wolf' phenomena when it comes to the word 'racism.' And making fun of somebody at the gym trying to better themselves is just disgusting.
She accused him of assault and all other kinds of things that were proven to be absolutely false
Joe or the guy in her video?
@@nataliesanchez871 the guy in the video, the CCTV proved he wasn’t near her at all at anytime
@@nataliesanchez871 She claimed the man in the video approached her & asked for the box he went on to use, that she said no & he took it anyway, and that it was necessary for the other men in the clip to take up a "protective stance" (?) around her. Total nonsense.
I seriously feel so bad for the guys today falsely being accused like that. It can totally mess up your life by one woman telling lies
@@justdiane5 she would've lied about anyone if it benefitted her. People like this are harmful to everyone around them. You men are lucky that women like this are so eager to out themselves online. May she stay forever single!
I’m developing my own gym in my basement, because I don’t wanna deal with this garbage. Good for Joey Swole. Thanks for covering this Amala.
I have a home gym and it’s awesome. Our main set was $3,000 but we were able to make payments and then we paid it off early. We also have a hip thruster machine which is awesome and pretty affordable, we also got that on a payment plan. We have a treadmill which was $2,000 but we bought it in the store but I’m sure you can make payment plans as well. It is very doable with payment plans these days
I'm lucky enough to have a home gym. It used to be a barn but we use it as a gym now... My brother and dad have spent countless years and thousands of dollars building it up. My husband has even added to it now. I'm so glad I don't have to deal with the gym BS. I get to just lift in peace... Except for when my toddler decides he wants to join me on the treadmill or try to mimic me deadlifting.
Both men and women deal with the bullying at gyms and a lot won't even step foot in one, for fear they will end up as a joke on the internet. I'm thankful I was in the gym before the cell phone issues but I still had a bunch of men stand next to me and tell me how fat I was. I commend you for taking it into your own hands and making your own gym. Good luck with your journey ❤
Can y’all give ya girl some tips and tricks for a home gym workout/starting a home gym. I’m working on a teacher salary and have little space but I do have a big backyard. So like whats the most basic equipment to get/most versatile? Any advice would help.
@The_1995_ Bands..dumbells. the most basic you can get and a good start. Squats and ab lifts just need you..or a wall or a chair. I did opt for adjustable dumbells..but those are pricey. So find like 3 sets that are a good fit for what you are looking for. I have a lot more equipment now, but that's how I started and you can do a lot with those.
"Trust not a woman when she weeps, for it is her nature to weep when she wants her will" - Socrates
It’s wild to me how many people claim to be fitness influencers while knowing nothing about legitimate weightlifting exercises
This all could’ve been fixed with a simple apology… But she had to keep using the victim card. She deserves to get called out on her bs 🤦🏾
it's astounding her level of arrogance and delusion. To anyone with 1 working braincell it would have been obvious your behaviour wasn't ok, but that just doesnt fit into her narcissistic world view
typical narcissistic behavior
Making fun of someone for bettering themselves at the gym is like going to a hospital and laughing at patients being ill.
Preach
For real
That’s how insecure people are
He's a black male and that could be the reason trust me. If you don't believe look at how they are attacking us at Cumala Harris's rallies.
Filming someone in rehab relearning to walk, doing an exeecise you dont know.
Then fiom and try to make fun of it online comed to mind.
I love Joey! I’m very uncomfortable working out at the gym. I’m a woman who’s not in great shape, but I work my butt off at the gym. I’m always worried about someone making fun of me because I’m not in great shape. I’d be traumatized if some idiot filmed me and put me on their social media to laugh at me. Thanks Joey!!
Same. Im overweight and they first make fun of me because of my weight then they make fun of me when i excercise
Keep it up !!! No one could never judge you for trying to get in better shape ❤
There are some videos on RUclips or tv you can do at home but they find fault with everything. Because they are insecure with their own image and lash out
That a shame. I think it is awesome that you are looking after yourself and would send nothing but positive vibes. Keep it up and enjoy the journey
@@svetlanaandrasova6086 same. I bought a stationary bike at home.
Color (no matter what color) doesn't give you the right to talk trash. Bullying exists on all levels.
I’ve had it with people like her. I’m glad people are finally waking up and are no longer taking heed to these liars of victim hood when they, in fact, are the victimizers.
Im a 6'2 240lb retired combat veteran with multiple ailments and injuries.I'm still stronger then most, however my mobility has severely declined. The owner of the small gym i attend, showed me this very exercise. Its now one of my new favorites. Keep up the good work JS.
this is just toxic femininity... be the bully then play the victim.
Looks like a fantastic way to strengthen your core. I might try it myself. Even bad situations can lead to good as people have a new exercise to try.
@@ceasarsaran8573 I certainly do not claim to be a physical trainer. The only thing I can say is I absolutely do not feel it in my core. I had a fair amount of guidance on this exercise, so I don't think I'm doing it wrong. But maybe if it was tweeked...
@@cclark2021 It makes my back feel really good, so I will take it! But I dont know if its really building muscle.
This woman is why I’ll be going to a gym in a hospital. I’m disabled both physically and mentally and I’m scared of being filmed and mocked in a regular gym.
Most people aren’t like her. I’ve found the gym community to be one of the more welcoming I’ve approached, considering a lot of the “gym bros” were teenagers who were fat and bullied for it who got sick of it and fell in love with working out so they empathise with the mindset you have. I assure you most people fall on the joey swole side of mentality rather than this horrible lady, but whatever makes you feel comfortable in bettering yourself :)
I’m 55 year guy carrying 50 extra pounds and not disabled, and I’m scared to go to the gym for fear of being mocked. I can’t imagine what it’s like for you. There’s way too many videos out there that sure do make it seem like gyms are full of judgemental, ignorant people.
@@canadablake Even if you’re scared I’d recommend heading to one and talking to the staff there, most I’ve found are pretty genuinely kind with that sorta thing since everyone knows it’s daunting at first
Im sorry to hear that, but when you run or hide, you let evil win. You're stronger than you think you are
Truly this isn’t that common, people are usually very supportive in gyms. She’s just an asshole
I'm from a predominantly black independent country and thanks to the internet black Americans are being exposed more and more as entitled and honestly I think racist. I'm cringing so much right now.
Yeah they are a totally different kind of people here in America. The black immigrants are awesome most of the time and separate themselves from black Americans. They want to get educated and be successful in life and most of them do. Statistically they are more successful than white Americans.
Black americans are something else bro😂
Liberia?
@@laterferaligatr2947 No. Papua New Guinea. The Japanese and allied forces fought through my country in WWII.
I’m like 40 seconds in and you said Bay Area. Don’t need to hear anymore. Thanks! That’s all I needed to hear, I understand completely.
This video is refreshing in every point it made. You have a very down to earth political opinion while also managing to not really take a political side while talking about it. Extra props for your ability to recognize previous mistakes you made and grow as an entertainer. I just subscribed based on this video alone
She’s also a life coach according to her ig bio, if that’s true that’s pretty sad
Probably one of those who would've been all proud and out about it but then deleted their socials if they were included in Matt Walsh's documentary
I pray for whoever she's currently coaching.. 😢😂
Life coaches are some of the most terrible people. They want to focus on other people's problems to make themselves feel better about their shitty life choices.
She coaches a life of hatred.
Yeah, that's like the cherry on top of the coo coo cake. "Life coach."😂 There was that woman who pepper sprayed her uber driver for no reason. Turns out, that woman apparently runs a health and wellness program.🤦
Make manners great again! Maybe we need to bring back etiquette classes. Let’s have some respect for each other.
Especially for a certain group of people...
It's very telling that she says it's unacceptable behavior to to leave "hateful comments" (probably criticism) on her posts but apparently totally OK for her to ridicule people IRL.
People doing this kind of thing in the gym is 95% why me and other people don’t want to go to the gym anymore.
I will buy my own equipment and train at home
You are such a breath of fresh air in today’s society. As a white male who has toxic masculinity flowing through his veins, it’s refreshing to see common sense making a comeback.
Love your content and always look forward to your next video. Keep up the good work, you make the world a better place.
Pulling the race card when you effed up? You know she definitely votes for Kamala.
Never take accountability when you can play the race card.
Hey now, Kamala grew up middle class, she’s out here in the streets.
@@chazzitz-wh4ly she got a summertime job shes just like us 😂
She literally said she was. She was calling the people that were calling her out white Republicans and that the backlash made her want to vote for Kamala more. So it's not surprising that this is how she behaves.
She actually asked people to vote for Ka-liar while defending her bad behaviour.
People judge people on character not color! God Bless You Sweetheart!
😉😘🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
The irony here is Joey was defending a black man
Amala, I love how articulate and honest you are. I do not share all of your views, political or otherwise, but I love that I can enjoy your content and appreciate you very much.
For me, that’s what it’s all about. Being able to support each other regardless of our differences. ❤
Well spoken young lady, you will go on to great things in life 🙏🏻
1:32 lol if he didn't say it I DEFINITELY WAS. That is an ACTUAL EXERCISE. She should be banned for filiming someone and not blurring the face TBH
No she should be banned from videoing in the gym or just banned from the gym!
Oh, from a final update from Joey, the gym pulled the security tapes to review her other allegations and said they were all “unfounded”. In addition to banning her from the gym.
If I was that man I would be getting an attorney for a defamation case against her
@@elettramia6380 I would as well.
🎉🎉🎉
@@elettramia6380legit.
5:14 nah she’s getting her karma. Wanted ppl to hate on that man and it backfired.
Right
How does a grown adult come to the conclusion that openly, mockingly laughing at someone (especially while filming it for the entire internet) is the right approach to anything? It’s hard to understand how someone could think that's acceptable.
How is a black woman making fun of a black man at the end have anything to do with racism?
The entitlement of this woman is disgusting! She's going to cry racism while she's making fun of a black man??? What about him and his struggles as a black man? This woman is pathetic.
Couple weekends ago I finally saw someone freak out like this at the laundromat and was like omg these people are real! 😱
To these people, any criticism or negativity towards a black person is racism.
@@abbiereynolds8016 My ex gf's dad says there's black men /women and then there's the niggers. Sort of like the difference between a gay man and a faggot! I didn't reply to his words, but I understood what he meant. And btw, he is black.
Not to mention, in one of her posts, she shamed black women who had the *AUDACITY* to actually AGREE with Joey!! That’s sure some “black woman empowerment” right there 🙄🤦♀️
People are self-conscious at the gym already. I would never want to hire a trainer that I thought would be laughing behind my back.
Thank you Amala for the amazing content and i love your intelligence and character.
I've been working out for almost two years now and like most things I get into I heavily researched proper form, the best exercises for certain muscle groups, how to properly nourish your body, etc. and legit the second I saw the set up and the way that man was working out and his form, I knew he was doing a variation of bent over rows...I don't see how she's a trainer when its really not that hard to tell when someone is doing a real workout if you have genuinely exercised before
A narcissist of the Victimhood Mentality. She can NEVER be responsible for her OWN actions-- it’s the easy way out of accountability to play the faux victim.
I just love watching Amala Ekpunobi videos. She tells it like it is.
She’s a “trainer” because she wants others to pay for her gymfluencer lifestyle. Someone needs to be humbled a bit.
This is the realest critique of this situation. Bravo
Im so glad you dedicated a video to this! You are a role model for your generation and give us old gen-x’rs hope for the future. Bravo!
Nah, she’s being called out for being a bully. Noting to do with race. It’s about race if you make it about race.
Exactly!! She sounds delusional!!
Can we STOP SHAMING people at the gym for social media points? Let people get healthy in peace. 💪
Totally agree. People should be encouraged for going to the gym, not criticized, it means that they care about themselves and their health.
right? ppl dont need another reason to not wanna go to the gym
Not only that, but what was she even shaming him for? Dude was just doing seal barbell rows, a totally legitimate exercise And with proper form.
But she didn’t just “show up” she publicly mocked someone for doing legitimate exercises exposing her own ignorance and in top of that broke the rules of the gym. She was being full of herself and incredibly rude and it had nothing to do with the color of her skin and everything to do with her actions.
Well done for giving the impartial view here.
As right as Joey Swole is, there's always going to be a tiny few people who say its racists.
She has been banned by the gym. She accused the victim of bulling her & that was a lie (he never talked to her), the men standing next to her, she claimed was protecting her from the victim & they came out saying that also was a lie.
Amala how is it that’s you are so clear & concise in your speaking!? I’m in awe of your eloquence when it comes to public speaking!
Jump cuts.
The Self-entitled.
Don't forget ignorant.. she's a whole lot of that 😂
0:44 She [the activist] says all that but makes us look bad by using the race card to shield herself from any kind of accountability. Interesting. Get her, Amala
From the 9-minute mark onwards.....absolutely blew my mind with the summation that was beautifully on point.
She’s also in Tyler oliveira’s video about Oakland. She goes off on how stealing from target is okay because target was built by her ancestors
I’m tired of people recording in the gym. We have literally seen every workout possible. There is nothing else we need to witness.
They should do what some do in comedy clubs, and take the phones from people when they come in, lock them in a bag and they get them back when they leave. That would improve gym culture 1000%
Apparently we haven’t seen all, cos the freaking lady who is supposed to be a trainer don’t even know abt the exercise… u would assume a trainer will have empathy cos she should know ppl are struggling to get good shape but no … a freaking beacon of darkness
You are so right
@@Barbarossa_F
No. People use their phones to listen to music.
It's the "pulling the race card while talking smack about people of the same race" for me
Narcissists always double down lmao
Just came across your channel. Impressed. You're so well spoken, makes it easier to watch. 👍
Ban phones from the gym. At the very least ban gymfluencers from the gym.
If that lady was a true personal trainer who uplifts others (or whatever she has on her social media) she would have spoken to the gentleman doing the exercise, learned that it is a legitimate exercise and filmed him (with his permission of course) doing and explaining it to her viewers. She could have used it as a teachable moment. But, instead she had to be a jerk. JS is right. She should be ashamed of herself.
If I saw that guy, my first thought would be that I cant do that...........and neither can she
It must be exhausting being such a victim.
Being cringe should be considered a felony ☠️
I appreciate all you do, and your past experience is clearly invaluable in helping give context to your commentary.
8:17 its not just a mindset. its a problem. these people will never learn to take accountability and this mindset and problem will destroy America.
🎯
Hate bullies who play victim to justify their assholery.
As someone who grew up without social media, it wasn't until I was about 18 it became a thing, I simply don't understand the online backlash thing. The Internet isn't the real world. I can turn my phone of at any time I want and that whole world just doesn't exist. It must be awful for young people today growing up with this constantly.
I love you for calling out another black woman, and not defending her for both being black. Hats off
Anyone who is narcissistic enough to call themselves "beacon of hope" is anything but that. Praises like that is to be earned and for other people to say
"Certified Personal Complainer".
Whats worse is there is people who is gonna see her videos and comments and blindly side with her without doing their own research.
This is part of the anxiety I have about going to the gym. Nobody wants to be made fun of for whatever reason. I used to weigh over 530 lbs, and now im 199lbs, and I'm more self-conscious now more than ever because of the loose skin. I am terrified about being filmed or whatever just to be poked fun of.
530 down to 199 is amazing, and definitely had to take a lot of hard work. Congratulations! That deserves a celebration!
99% of lifters would be so impressed with your hard work. We are a super supportive community, she’s just an asshole
Amala is so funny I love her reactions/Journalism
I'm a personal trainer in an Australian gym. I would never video and make fun of a member exercising....
The rude, fake and non-genuine things people do for likes and followers....
Agree with you 100% Amala. Treat others as you want them to treat you.
