Joey Swoll Lays Out His Five Rules For Filming In The Gym

Joey Swoll continues to preach good gym etiquette and shared his five rules when filming.

Joey Swoll continues to call for proper gym etiquette and has done so in different ways over the last two years. Recently, Swoll has set his sights on those who film in the gym and do so in a disrespectful manner. While at the gym, Swoll showed off a sign made sharing five rules to follow when using a camera in the gym.

Over the years, Swoll has spoken out against “toxic gym culture.” He has built a successful social media platform where he is able to give a voice to those who do not have the same following. In these videos, Swoll has defended those who have been falsely accused of inappropriate behavior or those embarrassed in any way.

Swoll has changed his tone recently and is showing off videos of gym goers who film in a disrespectful way. He wants athletes to remember others when filming and if they can’t do that then they “shouldn’t film at all.”

By the looks of his recent post on Instagram, gyms have taken notice of Swoll’s work and began setting some rules.

Joey Swoll Shows Off Five Rules For Filming In The Gym

Joey Swoll took a trip to Definition Fitness gym. While at the gym, he found a sign laying out five rules for those who want to film in the gym. They are as follows:

  • 1.) You must get permission from anyone in the background to film.
  • 2.) If anyone requests you to stop to filming, STOP.
  • 3.) Keep your setup out of the way of other members and equipment.
  • 4.) If the gym is crowded, no filming is allowed.
  • 5.) Be respectful of those around you.

In his caption, Swoll acknowledged the gym for placing this sign for all to see before entering the gym.

“Thank you @definitionfitness419 for putting these rules in place to allow for filming responsibly with respect for others, but ALWAYS putting your members’ needs first.”
