A fitness TikToker posted a video showing another gym goer confronting him in anger.

In the video shared by Nick Nush (@nicknush0), a man records Nush from across the gym calls Nush multiple names and slurs because Nush is working out shirtless. Nush tries to explain it's because he's recording his back for the workout, but that doesn't satisfy the man.


The video has been viewed millions of times with commenters weighing in.

In the video, Nush is working out on a pull-down machine, when he notices a guy across the way filming him.

The guy asks:

"What are you doing man?"
"Getting a shirtless workout in?"

Nush responds:

"Yeah"

The guy calls him a weirdo and things get worse from there. The guy goes on to call him an ableist slur and a homophobic one, just because Nush was working out shirtless.

Comments on the video quickly sided with Nush.

Nush adds a voiceover explaining he doesn't know this guy and doesn't know why this guy keeps insulting him and flipping him off.

Nush says his own insult, back, which was pretty tame by comparison, and this made the guy angry. He crosses the gym and gets in Nush's face.

He claims before walking off:

"Yeah I'll f*** you up, p****!"

Nush captions the ending of the video "So mad for what?"

Many commenters tried to claim Nush should have physically confronted the guy.

However, Nush didn't see it that way.

The peaceful reaction was probably the better one.

It is unfortunately more common than you might think to have people get aggressive over nothing at the gym. The place can bring out the worst in some people.
