Joey Swoll, a highly regarded social media influencer with an impressive following of nearly 8 million on TikTok and 4.7 million on Instagram, has made headlines for his recent critique of inappropriate gym conduct. Known for his role as the self-proclaimed “CEO of gym positivity,” Swoll frequently addresses issues surrounding gym etiquette and calls out questionable behavior by content creators.
In a recent video shared across his platforms, Swoll condemned an OnlyFans creator, known online as Sarinhacaus, for her controversial actions in a gym setting. The video in question showed the creator engaging in a provocative act by grinding on a barbell, sparking widespread criticism. Following the backlash, the creator has since set her Instagram account to private.
Expressing his dismay in the video, Swoll remarked, “This is one of the most disgusting videos I’ve ever seen in the gym. I’m sorry I even have to post this.” He went on to highlight a troubling trend of such content becoming more common on social media, adding, “Videos like this are popping up all over, and it needs to stop.”
Swoll urged gym owners to take stricter action, suggesting that individuals engaging in such inappropriate behavior should be removed from gym premises. While clarifying that he has no personal issue with creators on platforms like OnlyFans, he emphasized the importance of context and boundaries. “If you can’t have any self-respect or dignity, then have some respect for other people and keep it at home and out of the gym,” he stated.
His criticism resonated with many viewers, who voiced their agreement in the comments section. One commenter suggested that gyms should consider banning OnlyFans creators outright, while another lamented the declining sanctity and hygiene of shared spaces, saying, “This is how people catch diseases. Nothing is sacred or sanitary anymore.” A third user pointed to societal dynamics, writing, “Blame the men who like and follow this kind of trash. No demand, no supply.”
Swoll’s video reignited debates about personal responsibility, public behavior, and the role of social media in shaping societal norms, particularly in communal spaces like gyms.
