We all know the gym can be an intimidating place, which is why it’s important to encourage and celebrate healthy behaviour when we see it.
Bodybuilder and influencer Joey Swoll has taken to social media to praise one particular gym interaction, explaining how it perfectly demonstrates the kind of attitude we need in gyms and workout spaces.
In the clip, a woman who goes by @lilylifts could be seen benching a heavier weight when a man approaches her and asks if she needs spotting.

Lily explains that she would like some help and asks the man if he would be available to spot her straight away, which he was.
The man assists Lily with her lifts, before she explains that she’s been having some problems with her form recently.
The man then went on to offer her some advice, with the pair talking through any challenges she’d previously had.
