'I'd never go back': Single gym act sparks raging debate
A gymgoer has sparked debate after sharing a video where she was facing a common dilemma.
Shelbi Tye filmed herself looking confused mid-workout, wondering if she should go to help a nearby patron.
"Okay be honest, is it better to correct a random stranger doing an exercise wrong or leave them alone and let them figure it out because either way feels mean," she asked in the text overlay of her video.

Many commenters took to the comment section of her video expressing their opinion.
Some were firmly against any interaction.
"Definitely leave them alone lmao if someone came up to me and told me I was doing something wrong I'd never go back to the gym," shared one commenter.
Another took a hands-off approach.
"Just let 'em do it, they'll learn eventually, and maybe they're doing it specifically to recover from an injury or for a specific movement in a sport etc."
Some said an intervention should only be done in certain circumstances.
"If it could really hurt them in the moment say something but if not let them figure it out, we all have to figure it out eventually and it can also make people agitated," said one.

"If they're going to hurt themselves I think introduce yourself and ask if you can give safety advice. If it's not dangerous, maybe just do that exercise the right way in front of them and let them see," another said, providing a solution.
But some insisted that there should be correction.
"Where's the community! Correct me, intention always shows if you are being nice," said one.

"Tell me (because) I'm so insecure (about) doing the exercise wrong to begin with," said another.
One suggested a gentle route.
"'Hey are you open to tips?' Polite and gives them the option to say do they want help or not," they shared.
