Influencer exposes mans vile gym act caught on video, explains why it can make women uncomfortable

A social media influencer has taken to TikTok to expose a vile incident that occurred at her local gym.Hannah Trenches posted a video this week of herself reading a book on a treadmill at a public gym.Hannah was filming because she was intending to post a video about how many pages she could read in an hour.However, upon watching the footage, it was the two men behind the treadmill who instead caught her – and the internet’s – attention.The men in the video can initially be seen chatting to one another, seemingly harmlessly.

One of them, however, turned the interaction sour, appearing to make a disgusting gesture.“I’ve had mainly really good experiences in gyms so I was a bit in disbelief when I was editing this back last night,” Hannah shared in her video’s caption.“When I film in the gym, it’s always on my back camera so I can’t see what was going on at the time.”Hannah, anticipating the negative comments minimizing the man’s actions as ‘harmless banter’, explained exactly why this wasn’t okay.“No woman should go to the gym and worry that men will do that behind her back,” she asserted.“Surely these men have wives, daughters, nieces who would feel disgusted if this happened to them? We go to exercise, build good habits, help our mental health.Not to be sexualised!”Hannah said she felt it was important to share the downsides of being a woman in public gyms, emphasising the importance of women-only spaces.“It’s reasons like these that women prefer women-only spaces,” she said.“Not because they want to ‘exclude men’, but because some men have made them feel uncomfortable to be there.”Commenters on the post were incredibly supportive, thanking Hannah for sharing her – unfortunately common – story.“The way even the other man looks slightly uncomfortable but obviously won’t call it out.

Makes him just as bad.I’m sorry this happened to you,” said one person.“Thank you for being brave and sharing.
