A bodybuilder was reportedly banned from a popular gym after he filmed himself shoving another gymgoer for walking in front of his camera.
Recently resurfaced footage shows Jamal Allen, 48, pumping iron at an LA Fitness in Kearny, New Jersey, in April 2024 before another man walks in front of his camera mid-set.
'Don't walk past my video, brother,' Allen told the other man before placing his arm across his chest and forcibly making the man move backward. He repeated himself as he gave the man a slight shove.
'I'm recording right here,' he said, pointing to the camera. 'You walked past my s**t. Damn. The f**k. You have no consideration.'
The man then talks to Allen off camera.
In a separate video filmed from a different angle, Allen appeared to show the man loitering behind him before suspiciously making his way around him to walk in front of his camera.
Allen accused the man of 'plotting the whole time.'
Joey Swoll, a gym influencer, later caught wind of the video and chastised Allen for his behavior and demanded his membership be stripped.

'You really think it's okay to put your hands on someone for walking through your video?' Swoll said in a video.
'Just because you're filming does not mean that everybody else has to stop their workout just for you.'
He also argued that Allen's video wasn't ruined, as he had not started his set yet and had just begun recording.
In January 2025, Swoll claimed Allen's membership had been revoked.
LA Fitness in Kearny did not comment when contacted by the Daily Mail. The chain's main office and Allen were also contacted for comment.
