Probably one of the reasons why he is so popular is because he talks about the different people who are part of the fitness community. It is already expected that when you are a regular at the gym, you will become familiar with the different people you will meet there. Some of these people will become your acquaintances but there are also some that you will be annoyed with. The group of acquaintances that you form will talk about that person or another group that is just plain annoying.
There was a time when he posted a lot of Crossfit videos. He did a commentary over the videos that he posted and at that time, the Crossfit community was very angry. They felt that they are being targeted for the things that they are doing at the gym. People whom he has targeted were annoyed with him while some even hated him.
The complaints that Elgintensity channel got were so bad in 2014 that his account became suspended that year. A lot of people who normally watched his videos became sad because they think that he was able to do the following:
- He is very spot on about his comments.
- He is hilarious because he has proper timing whenever he delivers his lines.
- He is able to post amazing videos that will be hard to find anywhere else.
If you have always liked watching his videos, you know that he has a compilation of gym fails. The things that you are thinking about may be exactly what he would say. Some are just so funny that you cannot stop yourself from watching again and again.
Gym Apparel
Since the man behind Elgintensity has become a celebrity in his own right, it is not surprising that he now has a gym apparel line. He is already well-known for roasting various people who claim to be fitness gurus. He also grills some of the salesmen who are only promoting products that may not work for the common folk and he also talks about a lot of people in the gym who may be so full of ego that they need to be deflated soon.
It is evident through the number of people who follow him and watch his videos that a lot of people can relate. This is why he decided to expand the things that he can offer to the general public. He now sells high-quality gym apparel that you can use.
The collection is composed of the following:
- Hoodies
- Tees
- Tank Tops
You can expect that these items will have some motivational quotes that are actually dull and uninspiring. These quotes are from other “fitness gurus.”
Laughing at the Misfortune of Other People
There are some people who are saying that he should be banned from different social media sites because he is promoting people to laugh at the misfortune of others. According to some studies, it is quite normal for people to feel pleased whenever someone else experiences a misfortune. This is because it can help boost the way that they feel about themselves.
For example, there are some people who go to the gym and see someone fail. When the person is fine and nothing too bad has happened, it can be enough to make other people laugh. Of course, if the situation is serious and it has seriously injured another person, this is when things are different.
The condition wherein people become happy with other people’s misfortune is known as schadenfreude. This is commonly experienced by people with low self-esteem or those who are threatened with other people. Yet, there are also some conflicting studies that say that whether or not a person has low self-esteem, he will still experience this condition at least once in his life.
The only time when the laughing at other people’s misfortunes becomes evil is when you personally have a grudge against that person. This means that you are genuinely happy about what has happened to him and not only because you want to improve your self-esteem. If you have genuine bad thoughts, then this is already bad.
When you check out Elgintensity, you know that you are just watching to have fun and not because you are an evil person. Just know your limits.
