Many women have been advocating for female-only gyms in recent years and it's situations like this that make you understand why.
A gym can be a quite daunting place for a female.

The incident happened a while ago, but Julia found it hard to share but decided to post the clip on TikTok and ask her followers what they think about the situation.
In the video, you can see the man walking around behind her, briefly crouching with his phone in hand, pointing it in her direction, almost immediately getting up and walking over to his friend, handing him the phone.

Julia was sure that the guy had taken a picture of her and she decided to confront him.
He denied taking any pictures of her but she still felt uncomfortable and wanted to share the video to ask the opinion of her followers.

Since then she has received an incredible amount of support, with many people saying that she handled the situation well and they also confirmed that it is clear that his behaviour was suspicious and it is very likely that he took her picture.

In the end, she did tell the gym staff what happened and they too spoke to the man, who got even more upset en stormed out of the gym.
She also shared that she doesn't know if he has been banned from the facility or not as she herself has not yet been back since the incident.

After posting about it on her Instagram the guy had also found her social media and started messaging her denying that he did anything wrong.
Hopefully, Julia will be able to regain her confidence, feel safe and get back to creating the content that she loves soon.
