“Yes, he can. He’s the general manager and it’s literally his job to enforce the rules. There are currently some private or serious bodybuilding gyms that allow you to take your shirt off, but… It’s not like that here, so don’t take your shirt off.”
He continued: “If someone tells you to put your shirt back on, put your shirt back on. You are not special. Everyone has to follow the same rules. And when someone tells you this, put your shirt back on. You defended yourself by saying, “You’re in America, so you should be able to take your shirt off at the gym,” which shocked me.

Joey ended the video with: “Shout out to this manager for excluding you from the gym and canceling your membership. That was absolutely the right thing to do. You need to learn to respect the rules and respect your staff. You need to do better. . It’s none of your business.”
