Joey Swoll has called out yet another gym-goer, saying he needs ‘banning from the gym’.
And nope, it’s not because he’s filming himself on the gym floor or mocking someone else’s workout.
Instead, it’s because he shared a pretty explicit photo from the changing room on social media.

Pretty much becoming known for his angry posts as he is his ‘gymfluencing’, Swoll hit out at the lad on X asking: “WTF is wrong with you?”
And to be fair, it’s a pretty serious problem this time as the gym-goer in question shared a mirror selfie, posing in a black vest, and pearl-look beaded necklace.
In the background of the snap, is what appears to be a gym changing room and well, another bloke getting changed.
Caught in the selfie, the man is minding his own business, naked. The selfie-taker wrote in the caption: “Can someone cut him out?”
Luckily, a red hexagon emoji has been popped on top of the nude man’s figure so none of his private parts can be seen but still, he’s been caught in a pretty private state.
Although, Swoll claims that protecting shape wasn’t there in the original upload – meaning the bloke had everything out for the world to see, without even knowing it.
Re-sharing the (covered up) snap, the gymfluencer wrote: “Don't take photos in the locker room especially when people are changing. I had to add the [hexagon]. WTF is wrong with you? They need to ban you."
And users have flocked to the comments to make their feelings known as they say they ‘hope the guy presses charges’.
Another wrote: “’Can someone cut him out?’ How about just don’t take your gym selfie in the locker room. This is illegal and distasteful.”
Others echoed: “I can do one better, don't f**king take your phone out of the bag and leave it in the locker. Or just use it for playing music, I guess.”
Many called him a ‘clown’ and agree he should ‘be banned from the gym’ as one put: “It’s bizarre to think it’s okay to take a camera out in a locker room.”
And those pointing out the problems with this explicit snap are right, as in the UK it is illegal to take pictures of someone naked without their consent.
The full details of this image shared by Swoll aren’t completely clear, but it seems to have happened in the US, where more than 30 states have laws against sharing sexually explicit snaps without a person’s consent.
