Mini bio
How it started.
Before he was Joey Swoll, Joseph Sergo was a college football player finding his feet away from home. In his SimplyShredded interview, he described being bullied by older students and turning to the weight room. Lifting gave him a way to handle stress and build confidence.
Finding his voice.
His gym etiquette work took off in January 2022 after he defended a man being mocked online for doing dumbbell drag curls. The response helped establish the format fans now recognize: explain what is happening, challenge disrespect, and ask people to do better.
Making room for everyone.
He calls himself the CEO of Gym Positivity. In his JAXXON Podcast appearance, he discussed his effort to make gyms more comfortable for everyone. Alongside his videos and coaching, he co-founded Taste Flavor Co. with Jason Dooney, bringing his interest in fitness into a low-calorie sauce business.
