I think it’s important to note there’s a big difference between fitness influencer and just trying to be helpful in the gym. For example today I politely told a girl how to lift a bar when spotting. Not because I’m any better but because she tried lifting to the guys neck.

My rule of thumb, I only say something if it’s dangerous not to, I’m curious about the exercise, or I see someone struggling and wanna give words of encouragement. Other than these situations I keep to myself.
