TikTok users rally to support @emmysbakedbeans in face of gym harassment

In yet another gym saga making waves on TikTok, fitness influencer Em, known as @emmysbakedbeans, has called out a man for his ‘disrespectful’ rant during her workout at an O2 Fitness branch in North Carolina. The incident, captured on video, sparked a social media storm as users rallied to defend the influencer against unwarranted criticism.

In the video, Em can be seen doing weighted lateral pull downs when a man in the background interrupts with negative comments, suggesting she should spend more time working out instead of recording herself. The influencer, clearly disturbed by the remarks, puts the weights back and walks away.

Sharing the footage on social media, Em captioned it with a clear message: “To all the men who say things like this to women at the gym… Bye.”

Social media users flooded in to support @emmysbakedbeans, expressing their disdain for the man’s behavior. Many defended the influencer’s right to film her workouts, emphasizing the importance of focusing on personal progress and ignoring unsolicited criticism.

Comments included users suggesting humorous responses and praising Em for not giving the man the reaction he sought. The post also sparked a broader discussion on gym etiquette and the challenges faced by women in fitness spaces.

As the video gained traction, O2 Fitness was contacted for comment on the incident.
