Hey, beautiful internet fam! 🌟 Charlotte here, and today we're diving deep into the wild world of gym influencers who've taken the term "fitness fanatic" to a whole new level. Buckle up, fam, 'cause we're about to spill the protein shake on some influencers who might've gone a tad too far on the gains train!
🏋️♂️💪 Brace yourselves for a rollercoaster of bicep curls and questionable decisions as we explore the stories of those fitness gurus who've blurred the line between motivation and, well, madness.
🚨 From the ones who practically live in the gym (do they even sleep?), to those who've turned their diet into a science experiment (bro, is that a chicken breast or a spaceship?), we're uncovering the jaw-dropping journeys of these influencers who took the phrase "no pain, no gain" a bit too literally.
🔥 Get ready for some epic workout fails, insane meal prep rituals, and the social media stunts that left us all scratching our heads. Are those 20 protein bars in one sitting really necessary, or are we witnessing the birth of the next superhero? 🦸♂️
🤯 We'll also be spilling the tea on the not-so-healthy side of the fitness world. From extreme dieting to questionable supplements, we're lifting the veil on what happens when the pursuit of a six-pack becomes an obsession.
🙌 But hey, it's not all doom and gloom! We'll be celebrating the positive side of fitness, too. Let's not forget the influencers who inspire us to crush our goals without losing sight of our sanity. 🌈
So, grab your protein shake, hit that subscribe button, and join me on this journey through the highs, the lows, and the downright bizarre moments in the lives of gym influencers who might've just gone a tad too far. 💯 Don't forget to comment below with your thoughts and, of course, your own gym stories!

Hi, I'm Charlotte Dobre. I'm an actor, reactor, singer and sometimes (not really) comedian. On this channel I do reactions, commentary and occasionally I make a joke or two. I love poking fun at social media, weddings, entitled people, tiktok and OF COURSE petty people. I upload daily, usually 7 days a week, unless life gets crazy or I get lazy. Come hang out, it's a good time.

Y’all! I wanted to add something - don’t let the crappy people in this video stop you from going to the gym! They are in the minority! I promise once you get over that initial anxiety, you’ll be happy you went. This coming from someone who just started working out again and I had so much anxiety about what my body looked like and what people would think. You got this 💪🏻
🫂 ❤️ 💯 agree
You beautiful, sweetie. You have nothing to be self conscious about. Proud of you for getting back into it.
Girl, you are so pretty, the others in the gym should praise you!
I wish I looked half as beautiful as you do!! Glad you promote self care in others and you’re kind to any body type going to the gym! ❤
We got this!!!
I think banning cameras/filming in the gym would solve a lot of these problems both from the influences living out their main character syndrome to the secretly filming people to mock them online.
I agree completely. Why do people feel the need to film themselves constantly anyway? I find it so strange.
Absolutely! Filming and pics at the gym should not be allowed
I'm all for this.
💯 you named it right the main character syndrome
I think there's a lot of important uses of cameras in these spaces (people record themselves to make sure theyre doing it correctly and not going to hurt themselves or actual creeps being creeps) but gyms should totally have a rule that you can get banned with no refund if you post other gym goers online without permission.
I was a manager at a corporate gym and older people came in and sat around like that for several reasons.
We offered silver sneakers memberships and they would come to see what the gym was like.
We also had senior classes so would be waiting for the class time. Others mostly men like this, were waiting for their wives who were in the class.
Sometimes they’re waiting for a tour of the equipment or to meet a personal trainer for therapy.
Never once did I have an old creeper.
My guess was he waiting for someone, too.
Some of them just want to be around people, not in a creepy way, they're just lonely
Yeah, he seemed new to the gym. I would ask him if he need help or something. If he’s waiting for someone i would just left him alone instead make up shitty assumptions.
@@Mamallina437My thought as well.
poor guy looked like his dr told him go to the gym or else and he was totally out of his depth
It's not just guys who are scared of ending up on a tiktok - as an overweight woman, the thought of having these people filming or making fun of me when I'm trying to work out makes me feel so anxious. It's happened before, and I feel like I'm right back in high school, and not in a good way... Would completely support banning filming in gyms
I totally feel you on this. I used to weigh over 300lbs and the idea of a gym was terrifying for exactly that reason. I'm no longer overweight and I do go to the gym regularly. (It's a great gym. Very welcoming no matter where you are in your fitness journey.) I've decided if any wanna be influencers end up filming at my gym I'm going to do the absolute stupidest dance I can manage in the background the whole time. If they complain I'm just going to tell them that I like attention too and keep doing my thing. I'm 50 years old and no longer get embarrassed so I'm happy to act the fool 😂
Can't afford to go to gym.. but if I could.. I dono if I would cause I'm overweight and just don't want the attention :(
Girl, don’t let them scare you off. I’ve always been thin and a friend who was heavy set asked me what I think when I see people like her in the gym. I told her I think, “Good for them!” And I hope that you don’t let this ridiculous generation stop you from being a healthier you. YOU DESERVE TO BE YOUR BEST SELF IN ALL WAYS. Never ever doubt that! The only person who has to approve of you is you. If they can’t be encouraging and kind then they are absolutely not worth considering their opinion about you. Who gives a F what people who are so immature and childish think? You got this baby!
So she was filming herself so strangers could watch her working out, but she was mad that a stranger in the gym was watching her working out. Makes sense 🙄
For all we know he was trying to figure out why she had a camera!
Well of course! She doesn't get any views or ad money from a stranger "staring" at her in the gym!
Ikr? 🤷♀️
😂😂😂😂😂
At the least she should have blurred his face 🙄
For the Hernandez girl, she was rolling around on the floor, messing with some kind of straps, taking forever to even try lifting, and looking around like she was lost and confused while mumbling to herself. I'd be keeping an eye on her too because she's either crazy or going to hurt herself. I don't think he thought she was cute, he was seeing if she needed help, or watching out in case she did get hurt.
I didn't think he was really looking at her. He was looking at the camera & he didn't look happy to be in the shot.
It was obvious from the clip, she was more worried about filming and looking cute, than safety. That made me think he was expecting trouble.
Plus, wasn’t she like whispering the whole time into her mic? Of course she’s gonna get looks, she’s FILMING AND STREAMING IN THE GYM. Feckin’ hell
the internet was half sticking up for the man and half confused what did she think he was looking at 😭 i'm sorryyyyy but she is not someone to look at twice for her body let's be honest
Maybe he was waiting for the equipment she was using…or he was just taking a break and looking around. Whatever he was doing, it wasn’t at all creepy!
This trend of women claiming people looking at them is harassing them is really infuriating to me, because when I was ACTUALLY harassed at the gym, had a man attempt to grope me in the pool and he said repulsive sexual things to me, it took me reporting him 4 times (2 times he harassed me, and twice I watched him harass other women including attempting to grope them, asking them sexual questions, and each time he tried to block both me and these other women from exiting the hot tub/pool) before finally a female employee took me seriously and got him banned. I think they didn’t take my complaints seriously because of people online like this that claim harassment when there is none.
I emphasize with the pain and fear you must have felt when that happened to you. I wish more people stood up for you and also called out the harassment you faced. Any gym that refuses to take the safety of their members seriously should be named/shamed/sued imo.
That’s horrifying. If anything like that ever happens again, just know you have the right to report that to the police because sexual assault is a serious crime. That gym is legally responsible for ensuring that their members are safe and the gym could face legal consequences for not protecting people.
The ironic part, is she continues to look at him 2 or 3 times more than he glances her way. So if she classifies him as a creep then what does that make her.
It's true a bunch of made-up complaints and accusations and all credibility of anyone goes out the window
People don't believe you cause they don't wanna believe you. Has nothing to do with anyone else. You turning on other women, reporting what they perceived as SA is just adds another layer to the problem.
The first girls are displaying absolutely disgusting behaviour. Bullying online and publicly shaming someone for trying to better their health is just low. I wish the gym guy all the best in his routines and health journey. Also a big festive greetings to miss Charlotte potato queen from the UK.
The guy Noah, who’s calling them out is no better. Such a hypocrite. He’s all don’t bully in the gym and all that but calls fat people “lazy”! Everyone sucks man!
Once, I started working out in the summer before HS and I was running. I was chubby insecure, teenage girl att, and literally, the guy who signed me up was laughing at me for jogging with coworkers. It broke me, I reported him, he got fired but I still quit that gym. I had to work really hard at rededicating myself to recovering my mindset. My mom signed me up to a luxury gym by our house as an incentive to help.
Being able to finish in a jacuzzi and steam room got me motivated and excited again. So when I saw a larger man struggling with the same thing, getting laughed out like the first guy by some douchebags, my bro and I went over and encouraged him. It wasn't a big thing, but we started checking in with him when we saw him. When he hit his first goal, he thanked us at the gym and invited us to go out with him and his husband. We all celebrated his goal, and now we're friends outside the gym. Larger people dont need to be shamed. I was and most people are aware of our bodies. But encouraging anyone should always be the right option, not shaming them.
I came on here to say the same. The exercises that man were doing are awfully similar to ones given by physical therapists for joint (hip in this case) replacement therapy. No one knows what another person is going through on their health journey, give them grace.
acting more ugly then they look is almost a flex
They claim they were not bullying. They took the video down…too,late Ladies!
I hated to go to the gym before. Not because of men being creepy. Because of women making fun of me. Filming me, laughing at me, calling me names. I then found a new gym through a friend where the owner was tired of all the toxicity. NEVER had a better experience in my life going to the gym. Everybody helping each other. No toxic shit. Laughing together, dancing when entering the gym on Fridays. It's not the gym community that is toxic. It's some people making it look bad. Never give up folks. ❤🎉
What's the name of the gym lol. Nah not really looking for one but I am very glad you found a good place for you
what gym do u go to ? do they have several locations that all hold the same expectations ?? 🥺
@mac1801 I live in Sweden 😬 here they have 2 locations. One in my town and one in Malmö. Every member has a coach that helps you get the result you want. Doesn't matter if it's loosing weight, building muscle or just want to learn proper techniques. They also teach you about nutrition and exercise so you can uphold your result on your own later on. 🙌 and the owner and the coaches are bloody heroes. It's not about making as much money as possible, it's actually about helping people succeed and you can feel that every time you enter the gym. I think that's why we are all so close and theres no bullshit. We want everyone to succeed. 🥹
@@TheEmilyaa ohhhh, sweden. that makes sm sense 💙😂 man, i live in the US 😢 well if i ever get over my fear of planes or boats i’ll definitely be swinging by one of them while visiting just purely for that incredibly healthy environment 😂💙
@@mac1801 You are super welcome here! 🥳❤️
Miss Charlotte is the pretty Joey Swoll that we didn’t know we needed! Calling out toxic gym culture while looking flawless.😉
Yes!!!! And all of these people were so classy while being so savage. “Your personality stank” hadme. I say that shiz all the time.
I thought the same thing! Collab with Joey!
@@Solènelamigonnelicornepourquoi tu l'appelles maman?
@@SolènelamigonnelicorneDon’t consider someone you don’t know your mother
Joey is awesome.
My friend was in the gym, there was only one person in there with him. There was no clock. He walked up to her to ask the time, before he said anything she screamed, "I'm married! God!". He pulled his shirt over his head and asked the time. Now, he stares at the floor from the time he enters to the time he leaves. Poor guy. Nicest man in the world.
Geeze.. lol I would have been embarrassed (im a woman) but nonetheless some people are so freaking conceited..
@@achildofgodsanchez9608 I'm a chic too. I would have been modified!
What part of asking the time required him to take off his shirt? That may have been why she freaked out.
if you read and understand he pulled his shirt up over his face so he wasn't looking at her and asked for the time again. If people in public don't want to be looked at don't go out in public
I felt so bad for the older man. My mom is older and went to the gym for a while to better herself but I’m sure she wasn’t exactly “dressed for the gym”. He was trying to learn and see what was there. Leave him alone. 😢
15:52 - Charlotte freezes for the lesson about toxic gym culture to sink in .😂
Literally thought it was just me lol
I kept closing out of RUclips because I thought my phone was the problem. Glad that I’m not the only one
Same lol @@arrow_of_ravenclaw5155
@@arrow_of_ravenclaw5155same 🤣🤣🤣
YT f-ing up a upload again, nice timing 😄
One time it was just me and another women in the gym, I was hustling didn’t notice her much but I was aware that she was watching me. Carried on with my workout, afterwards she came up to me and said “hey I just wanted to say thank you, I learned a lot watching you and I have so many new things to try!” Very sweet woman, I never immediately judge negatively anymore if someone is looking at me at the gym. Unless it’s creepy and gives you that gut feeling.
Exactly. I mean a greater proportion of those who film themselves will have main character syndrome but most people just going about their business, especially those who have to modify for biomechanics or because they need to switch it up (both in my case), are going to think maybe someone just sees a new movement, tweak or admires the work, rather than instant creep. I had always admired a woman’s arms at the gym. I got up the courage to tell her that I was impressed and asked her for pointers. She told me how she targeted certain aspects. Now a year later, I got a tap on the arm and was told my arms are #goals😊.
@@TheBaumcm yess supportive gym culture we loveee ❤️
Honestly the comment about people just looking at the equipment to see if it's still in use is so helpful as someone who just started going to the gym and overthinks every time some one looks at me (overthinks in the sense of "oh my gosh they're probably judging me"). That is going to be my new mantra: "They don't care about you, they just want the equipment."
My dad, age 71, has a planet fitness membership, and I can attest he will stare at you while you're on the equipment in complete awe and disbelief. He's also not afraid to go up to people and strike up a conversation about what they're doing, though he may be hesitant to ask them for their help. Just something to think about if you see older people in the gym. Maybe ask them if they need help on the equipment if they've been hanging around it.
So true!!
There's also the fact that he is not in any type of 'gym' outfit. He might be checking out the gym for the first time, to get an idea of what type of equipment they have, and how it works. Might be someone's dad or husband who gave a family member a ride to the gym and is just waiting for them to finish their workout. They might be there because the person who is working out doesn't feel safe being by themselves around people they don't know, and he is there for moral support and another set of eyes.
Lots of possibilities where the explanation is not at all creepy.
I see older people at the gym all the time who aren't necessarily in gym clothes, and I honestly think sometimes it's more of a social thing for them to go there. They do some exercises, sure, but it's also about being around people. It's offers them an opportunity to be in a community and get out of the house for a bit each day. Don't shame them - if anything, say hi and be nice
💯 this
I literally wanted to cry when she was making fun of the older man because I thought this too. You see older people at the gym and they don’t have “workout clothes”’on. They may be new to this and don’t have other clothes or they’re there to get out of the house and start a workout routine and don’t really know what to do.
This is why i dont wanna go to the gym. I have body image issues, and the last thing i need is strangers bullying me in front of millions for trying to lose weight. It just dont make no sense to make fun of people for trying to work out, but then also make fun of people who don't work out.
I walk a lot, and im a decent swimmer, and have lost 100 pound. Fuck the gym honestly 😂
It is so rude to record someone else without permission. These influencers have no decency
WORD.
I honestly wish it was illegal to film in the gym. Like just a bunch of narcissists
I agree 100%. It's so ridiculous the "influencers" are there to influence people but all they do is make them feel horrible! @SmokeyRose you are gorgeous babe! Don't let them make you feel bad!!
@@highasduck5282see, my apartment complex has a fitness center, and between the strangers and phones, its my least favorite place to work out even though im technically paying for the right to use it. Its like being spied on in my home. Its a shared space, but still. I go to the rec center on the other side of town to swim and use the sauna because theres no phones allowed in them
I was already uncomfortable at the gym due to my social anxiety and body dysmorphia. With people recording each other and judging each other all over the internet now, any progress I made toward working out in public was buried 6 feet under. I’d be scared of being in the background of someone’s video, or I’d be afraid that if I was using my phone for a minute someone would think I was recording them. Idk, it’s just actually insane.
I suffer from both as well and I feel the exact same way! Idk if I'll ever go to a gym
I am not going to the gym for the same reason. Work out at home
My FILs doctor told him recently that he needed to exercise more after some heart issues. My husband took him to his gym so he could check it out and see if anything there suited him. He said his dad was like the kids in Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory, looking around, wide-eyed in amazement at all the equipment and people. He said he saw bodies move in ways he never thought possible, and was rapt by everyone. He's the least creepy person I've known, the sweetest, kindest man, but to strangers seeing him there, maybe he looked like a creep to them. That makes me sad and I hope nobody ever tells him that because it was a very positive and inspiring moment for him and he now loves going to the gym several days a week and says he wants to try every piece of equipment at least once!
Omg hes sounds like a sweet man! Its so sad to see how sus everyone is now. Sometimes people are just trying to be nice, or say hello cause its nice to be out!
She went way too far. She could've asked him if he was waiting for the equipment. I got yelled at by a lady once because I was staring at a wall that happened to be on the same side of the room she was on. I know women get harassed, I have a wife and daughter and sisters. Not every man who looks at you is checking you out.
Not every person who is nice is hitting on you either. I get told all the time I’m flirt just for being kind and courteous. I actually slapped by a woman because I legit laughed at her husbands joke SHE didn’t find funny. And then accidentally touched his hand when I handed him his receipt (I was a cashier). People are insane sometimes. It’s very Main Character Syndrome attitude.
True.
Always we ignore a man staring at us, unless he actually does something to you or says something vulgar, in case he's innocent.
My first thought is that he was needing equipment honestly
@@erikarussell1142Slapped??? Oh girl....hell no. She would have gotten a free boxing lesson after that lol.
@@mixedmediaartgirl300This. Or he was concerned with her misuse of the equipment and worried she was going to get injured.
Prior to the pandemic and the whole “gym influencer” thing, I worked at a family gym like YMCA type and phones were banned unless for music. Like the only place you could take pics or be extremely open with your phone was in the open area at the front and the gymnasium. People were fine with this, especially in the pool and weight room. For the comfort of our members, we stood 10 toes down on this rule.
Once, I started working out in the summer before HS AT A PLANET FITNESSS 😂 and I was running. I was chubby insecure, teenage girl att, and literally, the guy who signed me up was laughing at me for jogging with coworkers. It broke me, I reported him, he got fired but I still quit that gym. I had to work really hard at rededicating myself to recovering my mindset. My mom signed me up to a luxury gym by our house as an incentive to help.

But encouraging anyone should always be the right option, not shaming them.
these same people say that we need to lose weight,but will make fun of us for working out,like they seriously need to make up their minds!!
That is Beautiful of you.. I’m not going to lie, I’d probably would have approached those jerks who were mocking him and gave them a piece of my mind then reported them. I swear im not a “Karen” but frick i would-be in that situation! Lol 😂
Absolutely love this❤
This is such an awesome story I had to pause the video to finish reading it. That is Soo great of you!!! Hope you have a great NEW YEAR!!!
My husband and I have dropped a combined 135 pounds at this point over almost 2 years. I wish those jerks would remember that we don’t come out of the womb like Hercules, fully formed and bursting with muscle. Good for you for sticking with it and paying it forward!
Looking at others at the gym is exactly how I learned to use the machines and I am EXTREMELY grateful to the kind man who approached me to elegantly correct my form because I was 5 pounds away from an ER visit for my back as I was putting extreme pressure on my lower area.
Ik they acting like it’s harassment when there is only good intentions. There are people who do end up getting harassed and are not taken serious because employees think they are these type of influencers. If you feel uncomfortable talk to them and if they truly wanted to help they will convey such. Don’t just feel the need to ruin an innocence life when so many others are having to deal with REAL boundary problems. I’m so glad that kind man was there for you. I really hope we don’t lose that in the gym ❤
Looking at others at the gym to figure out their routines so we can easily work out a timeshare for specific equipment is how a shy girl like me gets by.
@@llamaporg282EXACTLY. Thise women are why real victims can't talk to anyone anymore,it's disgusting!!
Thats such bullshit. Bunch of pick mes in the comments. She wasnt assaulted, yeah. She shouldnt be mean about it, sure. But maybe people shouldnt rudely stare at other people, regardless of gender? Some of yalls mothers did a bad job teaching manners. Women werent believed about anything LONG before influences like this. What a ridiculous claim. Open a history book, not hard to find the root of misogyny. Hint: We used to not have rights as people. Holy fuck this generation acts like the only thing thats ever existed is the last 10 years@@GabrielleTollerson
9:45.. this man preaching. That's why I go to my gym at 3/3:30 am cuz you won't find a single woman in the gym at that time here. Like there's no issues at my gym at all, and also, what's funny is that I'm gay and I have to be afraid of a woman calling me out 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I really felt for that older gentleman, he looked so lost and I think he was just trying to work up the motivation to do some work but was unsure what to do. He probably got told by his doctor to go to the gym and is just starting awe of what the other people are doing. Also, he had on sneakers, a t-shirt and comfy pants - how is that not gym attire?
I look like that at the gym sometimes…looking lost wondering everyone is working so well while I get exhausted easily..
Looks about like what my dad would wear and his workout is pretty intense. He also sits and stares at people a lot bc old men need a little bit longer to recover and he seems to go off in a daze while he listens to his music. Not at all a creep, but definitely likes his people watching and talking to anyone who will listen.
That video didn't prove he wasn't working out, just proved that he was sitting a little while and looking around.This video just made me sad thinking about how a young gen z person might see my dad and he's just a friendly old dude without a shred of bad intentions in his body.
@@kiraeckard7625good for you dad for going and getting it. Thanks the greatest indicator of quality of life as we age and you are absolutely right that as we age, especially guys who need longer recovery times in general, we need longer rest periods. Not everyone are these jerks and remember that most of us know that 95% of memberships are never used so just walking in the door and trying anything puts you ahead of 95% of the portion of the population which has one, and probably 99% ahead of the general population.
I was thinking that. If I was there and had any idea what I was talking about, I’d strike up a conversation and see what type of work out he’s doing. Maybe he just needed a little help on what to do next.
i was thinkin maybe he was there lookin for or waitin for someone like maybe he couldnt find em or was waitin for em to finish up n needed ta sit n rest just passin time he could also be lookin ta work out or start n get familiar with it goin ta the gym
"People are allowed to use their eyeballs inside the gym!" I love that girl! 🤣
That Fernandez girl also forgets that filming yourself making a video in public space also draws attention to yourself. It screams "look at me!"
what's even better is she also films in a public bathroom/changing room which is illegal.
As a gym girlie that’s had scary experiences, it truly is a blessing when you’re in a community that offers assistance and assurance no matter the gender it’s offered from. ❤️
I was looking at the video... I most say that if I would have been to this gym at this moment, I would have kept an eye on her. Maybe it's my untrain eye, but the bar was looking pretty heavy, she seems to be very petite and I would have been worried of an incident. I would have kept on eye on any sign of struggle. Maybe she also was doing an exercise that he was judging as wrongly done and was wondering if he should go or not to talk about it.
You should know that a tonne of guys use that as a way to hit on girls, it's pretty obvious that's what's going on. Most girls don't actually want strangers approaching and grabbing weights in their hands without saying anything.
@@nicolasjoly6948 That's what I got from this video too. He looked concerned but he certainly wasn't leering at her. That weight bar across her stomach move she was attempting looks dangerous, because it is. I got this answer from the NIH:
_What happens when you drop a weight on your stomach?_
"With enough force transferred to the abdominal area, intestinal damage and even bowel perforation can occur. Intestinal symptoms will include tenderness to the area, changes in bowel function or bloating, and systemic symptoms such as temperature or blood pressure changes."
This gentleman was offering to help out of concern she might maim herself.
@@LazyIRanchShe's doing a legit exercise called a hip thrust. The barbell wasn't across her stomach, it's on the hip crease. It is not a dangerous exercise at all (when performed correctly of course). I'm not taking her or his side, because I wasn't there and cannot judge without more context. But to me, she looked like she knew what she was doing, her form looked fine and the barbell didn't seem too heavy for her. She didn't need his help to remove the plate from the barbell. To unload a barbell, you have to lift it slightly and slide the weight off at the same time, so it can be a little awkward even for more experienced lifters, but she didn't need his help. If she put the plate on that barbell, she can unload it just fine. I don't necessarily agree with her filming, calling him out etc. but I've had men trying to "help" me in that way before and they just use this as a way to talk to you and it's annoying when you're trying to work out and you clearly do not need their "help".
I seen a gym focused influencer recently that I thought was really great. Everytime she changed the camera angle she would talk to anyone that was in the background of the shot. She asked them if it was okay and if they wanted her to move or blur them. One woman asked if she wanted her to move out of frame and the influencer said she absolutely doesnt mind her being in her shot if she was okay with it. She was super polite.
this is the kind of influencer they all need to be
Wow, it's like Mother Theresa reincarnated 😭
She seems like she’s the exception, not the rule of so many influencers.
@@jeanneganrude8549 I absolutely agree.
There is no way to enforce everyone to do this. If it's not black and white, it will be up to interpretation of some snarky teenagers that are probably working there. What would even happen to rule breakers? And if those people are friends with the owner or manager thennnnn.... nothing. The only way this will stop is if it's banned. And that's how it should be imo. The needs of many outweigh the needs of the few. You can look at the literal wall length mirrors to see yourself working out so other than that I'm confused why it's even a thing
When I first started going to the gym there was this girl who looked incredible. So as she moved to different spots in the gym I would go to her former spot and do exactly what she did. I wasn’t staring or being a creep I wanted to look as glorious as her and copied her workout.
Just remember that you need to tailor your work to your own needs and desires to get what you want. I am 5’2” with really long limbs, so I have to modify a lot of exercises or try novel movements to target certain muscles. I have also been working for about a year to fix some muscle imbalances and build muscle so I have less concerns as I age. I must not have this main character syndrome, although I think it is predominantly the people who film their every move who do. When people stare, I assume they are admiring my form, my muscles, or they just have not seen this tweak. I’m sure she saw it as exactly what you intended, if she looked glorious.
I appreciate this topic a lot. I’m a female weightlifter and I post on an IG account (although I don’t consider myself an influencer). These types of influencers are ruining the gym community! Thank goodness for Joey and others for calling out this toxic behavior. There are some creeps in the gym but this type of behavior makes it even harder to address.
The ONLY reason to "post online" is for ATTENTION. That is women's "currency".
Maybe just stop that and derive satisfaction from the achievements instead of the likes?
@@Muck006 or how about you just stop hating women? 🤷♀️ I post online to support my trainer and help promote his business, but yeah, men like you always have an opinion you want to share. No one cares.
These influencers are the creeps. At my gym you see a lot of regulars. It really is a community, and you have a lot of folks who are supportive. While I have experienced creepy behavior in the past, the worst behavior comes from those who are "entitled" and think they own the gym.
@@nwingatechi completely agree. I go to a private gym and a public gym, both part-time. The private gym is great and the atmosphere is supportive. The public gym is getting infiltrated with this bad behavior however. 😥
Jessica Fernandez is a horrible woman who should stay single for the rest of her life. She doesn't deserve a man.
She set up a camera in public at a gym and put on a performance to broadcast to the entire world, BUT this one guy looking at her putting on a public show is somehow freaking you out? OK sure sweet thing.
And she looks over at him probably 3 times more than he glances at her. 😂 SHE'S the real creep.
100%. If you're worried about being stared at, don't show up to a gym where men also work out, while wearing clothes that accentuate your A** and your T*ts. Not really sure what these chicks expect. Wear work out clothing~ T shirt with shorts or sweat pants. Gyms are for working out, not showing off your snatch.
I mean, I kind of get it if he WERE being a creep (which he's not). Posting something online is different than some guy who can follow you home. But I've yet to see one of these videos where the guy was actually being weird.
ikr 😂😂 Miss me with that bs!
@@mage1439 exactly
I learned correct form at the gym in the late 2000s before everyone was filming everything, thank goodness. Partly, this stuff is why I workout at home. Plus it saves me money.
I remember being in the gym thinking my crazy ass can do free weights with lower back pain. I THANK GOD… a guy was looking at me trying to strengthen my back. He walked over real quick and said “less weights” and then he showed me how to do it. Because…. I probably would have made my back worst!
As an old person we tend to watch what's going on to learn what's going on instead of asking for help it comes from self reliance
Exactly.
4:38 this statement bothers me. She said she feels uncomfortable yet she was filming it to “connect with her audience”. Which is it?
As a new gym member, when i look at people in the gym, its to know how to use the machines i've never tried. The number of times i've laughed at myself because I realised I was using something incorrectly. It's an intimidating place to be. Most people are usually helpful though, but there are some that are just unkind. The kind outweighs the unkind, thankfully.
I will literally never understand why people make fun of others at the gym. We need to encourage people to go to the gym and better themselves... instead of making fun of people which will only deter people from going
I’m a woman and in between sets I glance around and if I notice someone doing an exercise that intrigues me I’ll just observe and then possibly add that to my next exercise routine. It’s pretty normal for people to be aware of their surroundings and observe others.
LMAO I remember this one time an "influencer" at the gym called out a guy for trying to get too close to her, accusing him of wanting her. He says "That's impossible because I'm gay"😂
😂😂😂
The look of that woman face once he said that must have been priceless 😂😂😂
I've said this on another video, and I'll say it again here: These "influencer" bullies are the reason alot of people can't bring themselves to walk through the gym doors. I was almost one of them, but I mustered up the courage. I was honestly scared I was gonna do something embarrassing or wrong and have it caught on video. I was scared of being pointed out because I didn't know exactly what I was doing half the time. Basically, those girls were my nightmare. LITERALLY pointing and laughing at an innocent stranger. Why couldn't they help him? Or build him up? Or, idk, just leave him the f*$k alone!? Judgemental pieces of sour garbage. Any person who works up the nerve to go to the gym to better themselves deserves to be applauded. Even if they're not doing a workout correctly, they're still moving their body, burning calories, and making progress. Hell, if I want to stand in a corner and do jumping jacks for 5 hours straight, then that's my perogative. I'm putting forth effort, and that's not something to be shamed. Either be kind and give me advice, or leave me alone. "If you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all."
I hope that man never sees what they posted because he doesn't deserve to feel bad for working on himself. 😕
100% agree! Some people are just massive bullies..DISGUSTING.. lol however had he simply just glanced in their direction-they would be calling him a pervert & creep.
Ikr going to the gym takes discipline for most people who already have busy jobs. they don't deserve judgement but a compliment for their dedication.
Agree to agree. Statistically, 95% of gym memberships, literally, go completely unused. So of the small portion of the population who chooses to invest in themselves, an even smaller portion choose to take the next step. You’re literally ahead of about 99% of the population simply by walking through that door.
🙌🏾 keep doing your thing💪🏾
00:58 As a german I absolutely LOVED that you said „Scheiße“!
i really don't care who is around me when i have gone to a gym. it doesn't matter what you are doing or how you are doing it, you do you. but the second it looks like you are struggling, my attention will be on you in the event the struggle turns into a need for help.
Yeah I would gladly accept help on form or technique any time from someone way more knowledgeable than I am. And absolutely accept a spotter as safety and form are very vital for a successful and safe workout.
Agreed. Back when I did goto gym I would pay attention to my surroundings and if someone seemed to be struggling or trying to lift too much I would pay closer attention incase of an emergency. I learned that from playing high school football and being in the weight room with guys trying to be macho, and doing to much, usually ending with them in dangerous situations. Thankfully my gym days ended before social media and “influencers”
2:49 Yes, I believe that's exactly what it was. Her form WAS sloppy from what I saw. And the way he kept glanciing at her, gave me, "Man!...she's doing that wrong. How do I tell her?...Who's gonna tell her?"🤷🏾♀️
Lots of injuries happen when shifting weights off of the bar and she looked like she was struggling. She also had those mats stacked way too high and was filming.
My experience is that most people in the gym are friendly and are usually focused on their workout. It's sad that these influencers might intimidate people from going to the gym.
I feel so bad for the silver-haired gentlemen who appears around minute 8. I have seen older folks start going to the gym because their doctor suggested more exercise for health reasons or after surgery, or even people trying to make new friends. People can't always afford gym clothes, especially when they are just starting out. I agree with the commentor who said he looks confused. Maybe, instead if filming this man (who was not paying any mind to the person behind the camera) she could have said, "Oh hi. I don't think I've seen you here before. Are you new to the gym?" You're in the gym. It's a safe place to start a conversation. If he was in fact a creep (which I doubt) it makes it clear he is being seen, and if he's not (which is much more likely) now he feels more welcome.
Kindness goes a long way.
It breaks my heart💔
"Don't you know this is MY gym? This is my world you're just living in it"
She gives some serious main character vibes. Girl, no. Where's your mother at?
Found her eating habits a bit repulsive too.
3:47 tf is a 21-year-old also underage?😂
it’s in her mind
I remember seeing a guy posting about him getting told he was a creep for staring at a woman. He was blind. What do you expect him to do blind at a gym?!
The blind surfer I just saw that one recently
I saw that! I absolutely could not believe it and the crazy thing is, people in the comments were still finding a way to blame him! Like what? HE’S LITERALLY BLIND 😭😭
@@plvtoisaplanet Really? How were they still blaming him? He is physically incapable of looking.
People are weird.
THIS is why I've been super private about my weightloss journey and try to do workouts at home, rather than going to the gym. People can be so disgusting and make you so uncomfortable. At least at home the only one laughing is my 3yo and I don't mind that one bit!
Hahah, my 4 y.o. nephew commented on my sister working out that lady in TV is moving much faster. :D They really are precious with their judgements.
Been doing home workouts for decades and never looked back. Just bought some adjustable dumbbells and different kettlebell weights for when I’m not doing Insanity workouts. Got unnecessarily hit on (in the ugliest gym clothes) when I was just trying to work out too many times that it put me off the gym all together
The fact that the man just sitting there got "called out" makes me so sad. Whenever my brothers and I would force my dad to tag along to the gym, he would walk around from machine to machine, do a couple of confused sets before wondering off to the next machine. We tried to educate him but didn't get far. He looked as confused before the explanation as after it. He always ended the workout early to have time to go into the sauna.
Good for you for getting your dad out there. Move it or lose it is absolutely true, although you can’t force it.
This is long but please read I had such a bad experience at a gym. I finally got the courage to join as I am older and very overweight. Hired a trainer to create a routine for me. First day- was confronted what I labeled the skinny bi@#*'s- perfect bodies/in their 20's -criticized everything from what I was wearing to ever aspect of my workout. Tried to stay clear but they sought me out- cruel comments like-God if I was that fat I would just kill myself. Workouts got shorter and left in tears. But then realized one of the skinny B's worked there. Got mad. Well I talked to the manager/owner and told him what was going on.After some threats from me-he let me break my contract. I have never been back. Please be kind to the fat girl-she is trying and is very unsure of herself.
I am so sorry that happened to you! Good for you for trying to get yourself in shape; I hope you find a better way to continue your journey.
She absolutely should've been fired, or hell - arrested for harassment. I'm so sorry you had to deal with that. People suck.
I wish you were at my gym. I would have been proud to see you there, working out. But ofc cheering from a distance.
She should have fired. What an ugly human being to treat you like that. I'm very sorry that happened to you. 😢
Cant believe she wasn't fired. What a crap person
One thing people have gone too far about imo is organic interactions. So what if someone actually strikes up a conversation because they're interested in you? That's how friendships and possible relationships USED to happen. Nowadays instead of meeting people organically where they actually might have something in common, they get mad at anyone looking in their direction (usually while they are FILMING THEMSELVES and wearing tight clothes to look MORE attractive while working out), and prefer to complain about how they're single and meet bad guys off of apps.
I'm a gym girlie myself and would love to meet people and make friends with others at the gym. I'm taken so I'm not interested in a relationship, but assuming the guys are decent and can handle rejection if you're not interested, there is no harm with approaching or flirting with people or literally saying hello and making friends?? Like, the fact that someone thinks you're so beautiful or interesting to go up to you and try taking a chance if anything, is quite flattering. Not something to mock. That person you ignore and blast on tiktok might not even want a relationship, but just create a friendly gym atmosphere. Could have been your new best friend, or blossom into something more. But now it'll never happen and everyone needs to be lonelier or rely on apps when it could have been natural.
The gym can especially be isolating for a lot of people, especially newbies, and it would be wonderful to create a friendly community like aspect so people don't feel as intimidated, form new friendships and accountability partners. I've approached many guys asking them how they use certain machines and they're all super friendly and excited to demonstrate and help you with weights or offer to spot; even though I'm in ugly clothes and no makeup and stuff, because they know I'm there to WORK OUT and not blast them and film them in the gym to try to start something. They're friendly and motivating and some of them who are super ripped and look like they were born in the gym used to be 300+ pounds, offer great tips and genuinely WELCOME me and remember me each time I go. I love gym bro culture tbh because it's welcoming and safe. I just hate that it's often one-sided. Even as a woman I'm intimidated by anyone wearing tight leggings and crop tops because I'm worried they'll accuse ME of harassing them.
Awesome!! You are so right.
The content getting called out in Charlotte's video really makes my heart hurt. Toxic behavior is becoming more and more the norm, whereas kindness should be the order of the day. The guy in the first video was so polite, that twitch streamer really demonized his kindness when he tried to help her with the weight. I've recently started working out again and have had wonderfully friendly people help me much like this guy did.
Also what was said about the older gentleman really triggered me. My father was told by his doctor to work out more, but he was kind of lost like this when we went together. He's also very introverted, gentle, quiet, and people watches quite a bit naturally. It just makes my heart go out to the gentleman in the video and feel like he needs to be protected!
It’s really sad that these tiktok trends are actually making it harder for people to go to the gym to get healthier. It makes me angry especially when they go after old men who look confused and have the audacity to accuse them of lurking. So much for the gym being a safe space for people. These girls need to stop it.
FACTS
The old man sitting on a bench on the gym reminded me of my dad - when i first visited the gym i went with him and he showed me how to use all of the equipment. He then sat down, as he was very tired from his physically demanding job and watched me workout, making sure i did everything right. I hate to see people assuming stupid things with no context
It’s the “going to jail for staring at an underage 21 year old” for me😂😂😂
Gurrrl. 1)21 years of age IS NOT A MINOR. 2)you can’t go to jail for simply looking at someone, even if they are “weird and creepy” 3) you’re unnecessarily vindictive because you want “clout”
Go home
The video freezes at 15:52 and unfreezes at 16:38!
It's not your internet, fellow potatoes!
Also a reminder that Charlotte always links the Tiktoks in her description, so you can look them up easily ♥
Has anyone figured out why this is happening?? This has happened on quite a few of Charlotte’s videos now, I’m hoping it’s not a serious issue or anything
This is exactly the comment I was looking for. I hope Charlotte and her team get the technical issues sorted out. This has happened quite a few times lately.
Just when I read your comment, it froze haha
Hmm, it played right through for me...thanks for the heads up, though!
For the first story. When is being 21 years old underage? Underage for the senior discounts? 😂
I’m glad she reflected and apologized. What more can you ask. She learned and moved on. Glad to see that.
It is really disturbing how people are trying to make grown adults seem like children. 21 is a grown ass adult.
This whole underage 21 bullshit steams from the weird perverse idea woman created that you are still a child at 18 which also explains why 18year olds shouldn't date older guys and their pushing it with dating someone who is 21
I know its weird as hell because I am turning 35 in January so I am come from the age of where you turn 18 you are still young but dang you are finally a legal adult no longer seen as a child in the laws eyes gahhh my generation was truly the final piece of the great generation puzzle..
Now we are in a weird ass time period where many still see themselves as a child at 18 so in their world their a adult child now to me that sounds more creepy perverted weird then a 18year old dating a 28year old I said what I said🤭💯🤷🏻♀️
@@mercedesvelasquez8781You ARE still a child in those years. You may be a legal adult....but at that age, you have no real life experience yet. That age is still quite naive. Impressionable.
By age 35, most people realize that.
@@kelf114 I had enough experience by that age but I won't sit here telling you my life story growing up and no you are not a child anymore bottom line which is something I thought during my 20's as such I do
@@kelf114 She was 21 years old and by legal definition that makes her an adult not a child. Her saying that shit is like a grown as many saying "oh i was only 21 when i did bleep bleep". It sound so dumb.
9:32 for the story before this time stamp. My dad is 63 and when he went to the gym in the past, he wore t shirts and jeans because he went after working night shift
Built a home gym in a storage container. I became very tired of being accused of staring or "intimidating" others by the same. This was 7 years ago. So happy I'm missing this trend.
That's is so ingenuitive!
Probably costs less .
Goals!
It's an 8×8 storage rental. A bit more than a gym membership. But I can get access day or night, And there is no lunk alarm.
If you're being accused of weird shit on a regular basis then you're probably the issue
You are entitled to your feelings, you are responsible for your actions. That's what I tell my kids. Some of these people need to learn that
Honestly, the older gentleman gave me more “I’m my daughter/granddaughter’s ride home and this machine looks like an interesting workout” kind of vibes. Like, if he was on the machine next to me in the gym and said anything to me, I would be expecting THE best story from his youth and a lovely conversation.
As a heavyset man this video is why I'm terrified to go to the gym. I know these things don't happen all the time buy as somebody that already struggles with anxiety, I just personally don't think its worth going to the gym just for me to get mocked and go "viral" for just trying to work out. It's like a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. People mock you for your weight but then mock you for trying to lose it :/
Agreed. I was told that as I was overweight, the only reason I could have been there was to harass and stare. I left and haven't been back. Rather fat than jobless.
I have a gym membership, and I have been once in the last 4 weeks, my membership is costing me about $73AU a month, I have depression and Anxiety issues as well soo many things with the gym make me uncomfortable because of the people
Might I make a suggestion as someone who was where you are now, two years and 45 pounds ago, as well as having a husband, 90 pounds ago, with extreme anxiety surrounding this exact scenario? Start small. Start by doing whatever you can at home until you NEED bigger, heavier equipment, if you even desire that. Go for the low hanging fruit. We just aimed for 10000 steps and rather than cutting foods, simply aimed to control portions of things that we knew to be less nutritionally optimal (soda, dessert) and increased protein. We then moved to looking at calories in and out, not perfect but to get a ballpark, increased intensity of walking and added music. It wasn’t until about 8 months later that we moved to a gym, mostly due to snowy winters 🥶 and by then it was a habit, something for ourselves and we had come far enough that we could work hard and not worry so much. We were more worried about backsliding than what anyone else would say. Don’t let someone else’s shortcomings affect your goals. You cannot fix their issues.
This is very very smart advice. Lots can be done before you need a gym and building a habit of concrete steps towards pursuing a goal does wonders for growing confidence.
Makes it easier to ignore negative idiots and just do you.
Honestly the gyms I’ve been to have really helpful people. We are all trying to better ourselves and a lot of the time they’ll help you on the best work out and equipment to use x
There was a horrible woman doing this to my son at Target one day. My daughter and I were trying clothes on and he being bored out of his mind was just walking around the area waiting for us and some woman yells at him for walking around and looking at people. She yelled and I went and hunted her down so fast and ripped her a knew one. It was CRAZY, TRULY WEIRD. People need to get over themselves!!
mama bear ( or papa?)
The Karens are increasing day by day!
Get her mom
You go momma bear! So rude of people. They are all so into themselves they think others actually care to look at them for real. Oy!
@bonnemoms5413 I know, I couldn't believe!!
The girl with the pink cap nailed it! And you to Charlotte. Thank you for adressing this!💕
Story time. I was 18 at the time,mid 1980's, working out at the gym 5 days a week (waiting for Army training to start so keeping fit). I was with a friend and had just helped him set up the weights on the equipment. I sat down 2 set ups away to keep an eye on him. Then this woman came storming up with a member of staff, A new staff member who didn't know us. She claimed he was leering at her and he should be thrown out. Well my friend and i burst out laughing and asked for the Manager.
When she arrived and was told the complaint she too burst out laughing and told the girl to stop bothering him or she'd be banned.
Why you may ask. Well my friend was legally blind, that's why i was keeping an eye on him. He was also at the gym to improve his physique for his long time, live in Boyfriend who was a co owner of the Gym. So yeah, He didn't see her, and she definitely wasn't the woman for him lol
16:15 Charlotte just want you to know for me the video is corrupted
Ok its not just me
Can they make a gym just for influencers so they leave us alone 💀💀💀
I think we should keep the cameras out of the gym. Its ok to take picture, but videos are ridiculous. I wouldn't want to be filmed working out. Just go home and film.
Dang, that poor older guy. That actually made me cry. How can people be so mean to those trying to get back into their health? Unless you are gym rat, it's hard to go to the gym even as a healthy person. To be older, not know what to do, but wanting to do it, we should be protecting these people!
It's also possible he was waiting for someone who was working out. I often would pick my daughter up from kickboxing class and would go inside to wait on her and walk her to the car.
@Sandy-oe5mh while that is possible because I have done the same, most people wait in the front of the gym where the seating is, not on the machines that people use to workout. He genuinely looked like he was lost in what to do and was just observing others around him on how to start.
EXACTLY!!! Poor guy!! 😢
These videos are the reason I have an at-home gym. I can wear what I want. Film (or not), fart, listen to too loud music, and be generally left alone by the world. I realize that many people don't have space or money for one, but if you are fortunate enough, I 10/10 recommend.
This is one of the reasons I stopped going. I’m a little over weight, and there are always a few women recording themselves, and I don’t feel comfortable working out because I know how cruel people can be!!!
This is why recording in gyms should be prohibited except for security cameras
💯!
5:20 exactly, when I was about 6 months pregnant, I went to the gym super late at night with my husband and was hit on. I tried to tell him no, but I was nervous to say no about giving him my number since, at the time, I was off stretching alone. He kept saying we can just be friends. Thinking back, I should have said "I have enough friends, thanks".
My husband is an attractive 60 year old man who works out like a monster and women stare at him ALL the time. A quick glance is flattering to him, but he gets creepy stuff too. He is very introverted, and it makes him uncomfortable, but he doesn’t make a fuss on social media. It goes both ways, ladies. If someone is making you uncomfortable, talk to gym management not the Internet.
Thank you for addressing this, I haven't been to the gym , because I'm super over weight and I want to feel comfortable in the gym but I don't want people filming me. Cause I have heard snickering and it makes me feel like I'm too big for them , so I rather not go, cause I can't even imagine being filmed. I want to go to the gym again and enjoy it. I want to just share the space and also I stare cause I need to learn how to do the right way. Ok thank you.
I wish you were near by. I go to the gym 5 days a week, so I comfortable at the gym. I would love have loved to take you under my wing till you felt more confident. Also not everyone at the gym are like the douchey people. Most are supportive or frankly won’t give you a second thought (as is should be). When I see a heavy person in the gym, I’m always stoked. I started off at 41% body fat and lost 50 pounds so I where you were, so I understand. Just go for it! Put in your AirPods, good music with noise cancellation and you will get in your own world. I also play soda crush when walking on the treadmill. These things make the “noise” around me disappear. I hope you give it a try. I’m rooting for you!
Fellow gym mates! I need more female gym mates ❤❤❤
I feel you! ❤
The first reel is the reason why I don't go to the gym. Even though I have a membership.
I’m so sorry to hear that.. Remember they are just strangers. So F**k them! You go & do what you need to do! Put in head phones & listen to the type of music that hypes you up or a excellent/engaging podcast. Your health- physical & mental should never be deterred by random a-holes that make themselves feel better by putting others down. Continue your journey for you!
This is me. I'm a fat senior citizen. My sister constantly tells me to join a gym, but I imagine it's just high school all over again, complete with bullies and mean girls.
These gym girls complain about guys at the gym looking at them, but they post their workouts for the world to see. How ironic!
9:02 The poor dude looked confused so instead of you creeping on him nd filming him God knows how long, you could’ve asked if he needed help. He looked also kinda scared to ask
The gym girl is valid for feeling uncomfortable but not valid for posting it. She’s right about her past trauma and the gym making her see this interaction one way and she didn’t try to see it any other way. It’s also hard for the good men at the gym who are just trying to work out or potentially help others cause girls like this make them feel like that isn’t possible.
You have the right word there, girls. As in immature female children. Women who are mature have learned to control their reactions and be proactive about themselves. Also they would not be filming in the gym to respect everyone's space. Sam Sulek is 21 and he films in the gym and has an attitude as well. Even though he looks like a 30 yr old man he does not act like it.
Half of these videos make me want to continue avoiding the gym, even as a plus size person wanting to start a fitness journey. Just playground bullies…. But the other half of these videos give me hope I’ll go, one day. Until then, in Joey Swoll we trust, and I’ll keep at it with the RUclips workouts 😅
I used to work at a very small gym. I can not tell you how much I appreciate the fact that it was about 20 years before all of this "influencer" BS started.
I hate how everybody with a phone and a tiktok wants to call themselves an influencer. I've always hated that word in general, and it's only gotten worse. There are plenty of ways to make videos without being a public nuisance, and I wish these people would care about anything other than their own nonsense.
@@mage1439exactly!!
I have had so much help from the gym community. No diff from genders. I have never felt uncomfortable. And I'm an almost 50 year-old.woman..just starting and had lost 50kg. I had nothing but support.
Good for you, bestie!! ❤
You go girl! Live your best life😊
That first clip is literally why gyms give me anxiety. People always judging
That guy was just stretching to not get injured while working out and those mean girls took that opportunity to quite literally point and laugh... and they thought people would find it funny...
The sad thing is that I'm sure some people did find it funny. But hopefully most people were as offended by it as we are.
Right?? I thought the same! Maybe he's recovering from a car accident or an injury of some kind. Mind your business!
Definitely peaked in middle school.
@@jenn8179 or is just disabled like I am. I have ehlers danlos. The stretches I have to do look so stupid to the non sufferer. And I absolutely must stretch before during and after workouts as I can easily pop a joint out of socket. And yes. It’s still painful.
16:25 why is there another broken part in the video what's with this lately? Is it an error in youtubes uploading or is it just missed in editing or recording? I'm so confused why this keeps happening I hope it's not Charlotte's camera or something 😢 I keep thinking it's my tv or phone 😅
I am a fitness instructor at a couple of gyms. Filming truly has gotten out of hand. The Jewish community center I teach at does not allow videotaping inside the workout areas. It is a shame how working out has become entertainment instead of self betterment. Sad part is when I see men and women wearing outfits that automatically attract attention and a look. Whether their style is negative or positive. Those same individuals are the ones who are uncomfortable with people, staring and claim everybody is a creep. My best advice for everybody out there, Just simply be yourself. Don’t worry about anybody else around you and what they are doing. Most of the time nobody is paying attention to what you are doing either. 🏋️♀️💪🧘♀️🤸♀️
I wish that were true, but unfortunately harassment by men to women, and sometimes the other way around, is there way too much.
Agree, the women who dress in EXTREMELY tight & accentuating clothing have no claim to be bothered by glances. They have the right to wear what they wish to-but don’t play a victim card if we all can see your camel toe, ass, and boobs… like seriously IM a woman and i will find myself looking lol.. The folk that are unfit and trying to better themselves should not be harassed or mocked.. they came and are trying! Its sad that we have these situations at the gym. I hope here in the near future there is ZERO tolerance for filming or mocking in the gym area/locker room of the gym.
The guy in the gym - maybe he was looking at the “influencer” because she was exercising in front of a tripod and he was thinking how ridiculous she looked.
Exactly ❤❤
Or he was annoyed because she was filming him without asking him. It's not a public space, it's a private business that people pay to use.
I honestly think there are a lot of women out there that want to play victim and hype up their own attractiveness. I've been working out in gyms since I was 18 and I have never had any issues. I've only ever had positive experiences at the gym. I'll be 32 in Feb and I've gone while very skinny and I've gone while morbidly obese. I've never been treated poorly at the gym. People need to get over themselves.
Love Joey ❤, what a gym hero , she got what she deserved, she tried to ruin an innocent person's life
I've taught water fitness to regular populations and to men & women who had various disabilities, as well as teaching regular fitness & working out in gyms. I've also gone on actual SA crisis calls. These influencers are awful. I have not seen the behavior these influencer are trying to portray it being. They do make it harder for true victims of inappropriate behavior. Thank you Charlotte Dobre for posting these. I did not know how awful people have been because again, the people I have witnessed have been working toward being the best they can be in a workout situation.
0:16 these are pick me girls on the wild! Their daddies must be very proud of them mocking at an elder (it contains irony).
Theses videos keep me OUT of the gym. Its hard enough not being in shape and then worrying about being made fun of just too much
Personally, when I'm in the gym, I made it a point to stay away from influencers. I am chubby, and this seems to be a huge factor for influencers. I've found that if they don't see you as someone who's pretty, they are more likely to give you dirty looks. But the more popular, or pretty you are, the less they are mean, and the more they are kind and respectful towards you.
That is so fucked up. As someone who has been o erweight their whole lives, when I lost 50 lbs. I was so excited that I wanted to be supportive of others in the gym on the same journey.
Yeah I've experienced this too. Everyone wants us to be fit and slim but they make it as uncomfortable as possible. Make it make sense.
it's so damn sad!!
When I used to go in public I always thought people were looking at me but not in the ‘pick me’ way. More like “wtf is everyone staring and talking about me?” “Do I have something in my hair?” Kind of way 😂
I’d no one really going to let her know there a freeze in the video? (16-16:36) Construction criticism, I love these videos!!
Big ole glitch 16:20 area! 😮
0:07 - You have to be pretty f$%king weird to just film people without their permission, anyway., but to post your narcissism online, take's a special kind of stupid😏👍. Also a little odd that they're in a gym, but don't understand the point of warming up.
I used to be self conscious in the gym for years, my form, the weight I was using, etc. I always thought I was being judged, and my husband would always say "no one is looking at you babe, I promise. They're just working out."
After COVID I go to the gym and don't look or care about what anyone else is doing. And he was totally right, no one cares what you're doing 😂
15:59 whole video just freezes for like 2 minutes
Right? You're the only comment I've seen mentioning this. Thought it was my damn phone
