Man’s gym act exposes ‘insane’ problem

Mountain_Collar_7620 · 2024-01-19T23:22:28+00:00

Male Only gyms are the only safe solution . And “studios” for the O/F “ladies” so they can simp-pimp in “peace”.

Almighty_Bidoof424 · 2024-01-19T22:20:24+00:00

This does expose an insane problem. Women getting in skimpy outfits then going to the gym and setting up their camera equipment just to record themselves for social media. Very frustrating if you're actually trying to get a good workout.

jbr945 · 2024-01-20T01:53:17+00:00

My gym has a no videos policy which makes sense as this is not your personal production studio. It wasn't cool of him to do that, but it was definitely a passive aggressive way to basically tell her to buzz off.

Skrulltop · 2024-01-20T04:57:28+00:00

I mean, in this video, the dude puts the dumbbell right behind her. It was a stupid move. However, that doesn't mean there's an epidemic of men being toxic in the gym towards women, blah, blah, blah.

AnkoInMyManko · 2024-01-20T06:00:59+00:00

Why are so many beginner to low intermediate gym-goers convinced that they're qualified to instruct others?

I mean, can we just stop with this nonsense? She positioned the camera for a view of her ass as she, for some inexplicable reason, decides to crank her head to the right for a barbell row (see: something you should absolutely NEVER do during a barbell row).

Out of curiosity I checked out her Instagram, and yep, 50%+ ass shots. Why am I not surprised in the slightest?

JCgamerX · 2024-01-19T23:02:07+00:00

she is in the wrong. you need permission to film at the gym also it's a public space not her personal workout space

BurnAfterEating420 · 2024-01-19T23:51:43+00:00

man set down weight in area woman was monopolizing for making tiktok videos, feminists swoon

raytaylor · 2024-01-20T02:14:31+00:00

My gym has a no photography policy with "no cameras except 7am-8am" signs around the place. Seems like a good solution. If you want to record something, you can do so at that time. Any other time, no recording yourself or others.

BelCantoTenor · 2024-01-20T02:41:18+00:00

Men’s only gyms need to make a comeback. Just stop with this honey trap bullshit from the crazy broads. Enough already.

ChelseaGreenNeedsBBC · 2024-01-20T00:06:39+00:00

Even if guys are staring, who gives a shit? Are guys not allowed to look at hot girls now?

weekend-guitarist · 2024-01-20T03:01:50+00:00

JoeySwoll does not approve

LordBogus · 2024-01-20T10:04:43+00:00

Did she even ask for his permission to be on video?

hawkeyebullz · 2024-01-20T02:39:29+00:00

I'm sure it was staged for bait rage most of these are..next...

flipsidetroll · 2024-01-20T11:42:38+00:00

Did anyone else’s brain glitch at 92% of harassment cases go unreported? SO HOW THE FUCK DO THEY KNOW ABOUT THEM? If it’s unreported, it doesn’t exist. This type of journalism should be fined. And chick, wear some fucking shoes and public space means public, not you, your manky feet and your phone.

DaveImmaculate · 2024-01-20T17:36:51+00:00

“ I never mind people walking in and out of videos” how incredibly noble and selfless of you to allow people to go about their day in your presence.

wordjedi · 2024-01-20T03:38:51+00:00

Somebody was rude at the gym? wow

rabel111 · 2024-01-21T05:57:47+00:00

"Ms Dober, who works at Melbourne’s Enriching Lives Psychology clinic, said gyms and fitness centres are known for “perpetuating very hyper-masculine behaviours” that can leave women feeling unsafe."

The use of the term "hyper-masculine behaviours" places masculinity on a scale where the more masculine a behviour is, the more negative and misogynistic the behaviour, while less masculine behaviour is less negative.

This is ideological hatred of masculinity, a common characteristic of man hating feminists who frame any encounter between men and women as sex based power relations.

This article is just feminist hate speech, with no attempt to understand why the man behaved that way, attributing the negative impact experienced by these women as entirtely due to his masculinity.

I have a bone joint disease that has taken both hips, my right ankle has had to be rebuilt and I have to have the nerves burned in my back every six months with gel knee injections every 4.

I have a gait issue on top of my left hand being paralyzed but I still walk, and do some exercises. Atleast I did.

I got accused so many times of starting at women that wrote nothing and twice they followed me and was videoing them cursing me out for being a creeper. I was sweaty as fuck, I'm trying to fight the weight gain. I was minding my own business and the went in front of a group of us, leaving nothing to the imagination.

I got called fat, a loser, a creeper. Accused of starting at her ass. Finally I just went the fuck off. I live my life in pain. I put up with shit anymore. Then the tears started and their friends started in at us. We had to call the cops. Our car got keyed and we pressed charges. I'm sure I'm out there in a truncated video somewhere.

Sintar07 · 2024-01-21T01:46:23+00:00

Data supports this. Almost 56 per cent of women have faced harassment during their workouts, a survey from Run Repeat found in 2022.

Does anyone actually believe this?

MrW0ke · 2024-01-19T23:10:43+00:00

I've seen this trend going on for a while and I'm still not really sure why any guy would care... so what if you got caught checking out someone you find attractive, it's not illegal and nothing is going to happen...

noanarchypls · 2024-01-19T23:28:28+00:00

Honestly I don’t really see why she should be in the wrong here besides the filming of everything. The way the guy places the weight directly besides her in her workout space would have made me mad as well..

Jobin10 · 2024-01-20T01:01:56+00:00

Women that workout are so brave

manicmonkeys · 2024-01-20T01:11:35+00:00

Lol her video angle was garbage for showing a barbell row.

PubicFigure · 2024-01-20T03:25:29+00:00

Number 1 issue... No fucking shoes? At the gym???? What kind of instructor would make such a basic mistake?

Number 2 issue... Want to post videos? Rent the whole gym or the gym area or have your own at home...

Number 3 some people are sloppy with gym equipment... Pretty sure the dude wanted to make a point that studio setup isn't appropriate at the gym he actually pays a membership to attend....

volleyballbeach · 2024-01-20T01:39:32+00:00

It’s lame of the journalist to make this about gender. Gyms have rude men and rude women who leave things in the way of other men’s and women’s space. He was being inconsiderate of others, I doubt he did it because of her gender. She was also being inconsiderate of others by filming there.

matrixislife · 2024-01-20T02:26:55+00:00

Australia, why am I not surprised. The covid years really let that place go to the dogs.

buttfacenosehead · 2024-01-20T10:10:04+00:00

I've never been to a gym where men are allowed to be shirtless?

RevolutionaryCry7230 · 2024-01-20T17:42:58+00:00

Why is she is in a gym and not wearing any shoes? That is a major safety issue plus a health and hygiene concern. Nobody in any gym I have ever been to would be allowed to go around barefoot. We even wear flip flops in the showers.

SnooHabits7185 · 2024-01-20T22:10:32+00:00

I've never had a problem with the female patrons at the gym, staff, that's another story. Some of them were assholes.

DontHugMeImBanned · 2024-01-20T14:35:02+00:00

We live in a world where we let Zebras cover themselves in bbq sauce and colonize traditionally Lion spaces... Knowing the nature of a Zebra would compel them to complain that the Lions are drooling.. but only when they're sure all the other Zebras they're sexually and subsequently socially competing with.. can see the monetizable reaction

Captainsignificance · 2024-01-20T01:54:26+00:00

For all the men out there- get a few workout equipment and workout at home. You would save travel time and workout in peace. Women have ruined gyms with their bs. I quit my gym a year ago and do all my workouts at home.

AbysmalDescent · 2024-01-21T20:06:04+00:00

The most realistic scenario for this, outside of just being staged for views, is that this woman had been setup at that particular piece of equipment for far too long, and the guy was tired of waiting on her and decided to assert himself by taking that position(with the intent of letting her know she's been there too long in a passive-aggressive manner). The fact that she was filming and not even working out probably made things worse as well.

Either that or he maybe just didn't appreciate being filmed and decided to protest by standing his ground rather than allowing himself to be pushed aside.

midwestCD5 · 2024-01-20T11:34:40+00:00

This bish is over here spreading athletes foot with her bare feet and complaining about men existing.

WasabiPirates · 2024-01-20T18:12:38+00:00

Women claiming that completely mild occurrences make them feel “unsafe”—as in, they fear for their physical well-being—is the most grotesquely manipulative and obnoxious shit ever. How long before we stop giving these kinds of hysterics air?

solar-garlic1776 · 2024-01-20T14:32:33+00:00

Yet another example of women wanting into a male space and expecting men to change. Ladies you came into our house it's you who need to act accordingly not us

bluehorserunning · 2024-01-20T05:35:30+00:00

I experienced enough harassment in gyms as a young woman that I stopped going to any gyms besides my team’s. It definitely impaired my desire to work out in any kind of public forum. Even though it’s been decades, the sour taste remains.
