Joey Swoll is Right: Your Tripod is Not Gym Equipment

The internet is finally melting down over gym influencers acting like they own the squat rack for their 'content,' and honestly, it’s about time. I live for a good brand deal, but the second your ring light starts blocking the walking path, you’ve lost the plot. We’ve traded actual, gritty training for a curated performance where looking 'aesthetic' matters more than the weight on the bar. If you’re more worried about a stranger walking through your frame than your actual form, you aren't an athlete—you’re a cinematographer in spandex. The gym is for sweat and jagged edges, not for turning public spaces into your private movie studio.
