Famous bodybuilder Joey Swoll slams model for ‘disgusting’ act in public gym

Sarah Caus, a Brazilian model and content creator, sparked outrage after her provocative workout routine went viral on social media.

In the clip, Caus could be seen squatting down on the barbell before rubbing back and forth along the bar as others trained around her.

As the incident went viral, the Brazillian model soon caught the ire of Swoll who has garnered a large following online for calling out inappropriate behaviour in public gyms.

The American, the self-proclaimed ‘CEO of Gym Positivity’, said the woman in question should have some self-respect and urged the gym to kick her out.

‘This is one of the most disgusting videos that I’ve ever seen in the gym,’ Swoll said in a video posted on social media.

‘I’m sorry I even have to post this, but videos like this are popping up all over social media and it needs to stop. People are sick and tired of it.

Who is Joey Swoll?

Joey Swoll is a bodybuilder and fitness influencer who has built up a large following on social media.

The American now boasts nearly nine million followers on TikTok as well as 4.7m on Instagram.

Initially focusing his videos on gym workouts, in 2022 he posted a response to a TikToker mocking a man in the gym for doing dumbbell drag curls, which quickly went viral.

Since then the self-proclaimed ‘CEO of Gym Positivity’ has focused his videos on gym etiquette, regularly calling out people on social media for mocking other gym-goers or filming people without their permission.

Swoll, who has amassed more than 280m views on TikTok, also uses his platform to share uplifting fitness videos of people celebrating their progress or strangers helping each other out at the gym.

‘And listen, I have nothing against OF. You make money how you want, but keep it at home and out of the gym!

‘If you can’t have any self-respect or dignity at least have some respect for the other people in the gym that have to use that same equipment. You need to do better.’

The model in question appears to have de-activated her Instagram account in the wake of the backlash.

However, she did post a brief video on X from inside a gym with the captain: ‘hello haters’.
