I am so livid for you - he clearly was like “oh a woman doing more pull ups than I have in my life…let me touch her! That’s not insanely rude or insulting” 😤

Touching a woman uninvited wasn’t okay before, but we’ve recently had a WORLDWIDE phenomenon where we’ve said, in no uncertain terms, that consent is non-negotiable (whether or not the touch is sexual)…and then there’s this guy. 🙄

The second the guy started looking at you it made me feel ill, I really hoped he was someone you knew but then when he came up and touched you 🤢 well done for speaking up and telling him it was wrong. And thank you for another great video!

Guys like him are a reason some people are afraid to go to the gym 🤦🏻‍♀️ mind your own business and keep your hands to yourself!

Oooo… that scene with a stranger touching you at the gym hurt to watch. You could see his eyes following you up and down as you did your pull-ups, and my anxiety raised with each lift of his brow to watch you. Not only is he touching you during a rep without your permission, he just touched you in general without consent. As a victim of assault, that was extremely cringe to see. I am sorry you had to deal with that! Don’t think I ever heard you cuss on a video but that situation will make anyone curse! Lol. Besides the creep, great video as always! Thank you for all that you do for the sake of health and wellness! ❤️🫶

After every sentence you said, i just sunk lower and lower in my chair until I fell off! I've been guilty of diet dogma (trying different things, never allowing my body long enough to adapt) or the hate driving my workouts. I'm about to start a new diet on Monday (i start new ones most Mondays) when this video came on my feed. I'm glad it did. Thank you ♥️♥️

Oh that pisses me off, I had someone did this to me too. I always love your videos they actually encouraged me to start work with a nutrition and fitness coach, I started this week 😁

For me it’s the fact that it has to be said! You don’t touch people period.

love your content! could you consider adding timestamps for where the different tips start? vlog style is great but I sometimes lose focus multitasking and then miss the tips and don't want to rewatch the whole video :)

Oh God. I was mad just watching that. You can tell my his expression in the mirror that the intention was not “oh she might hurt herself, let me help.” It was “oh looks girl doing something I can’t, let’s mess her up.”

I would love to see a video on how you started doing your pull-ups. Because I know girls who have very strong defined arms and they can't do a pull-up unassisted. And I can't do one at all. It's definitely on my bucket list to be able to do

#3 is on point! My strength coach had to pull me aside and have a heart to heart talk with me about being kinder to myself.

Omg he definitely seemed so impressed why did he have to RUIN it by invading your space and TOUCHING YOU. 😡

Love your videos. You're so genuine and informative. Thanks for sharing 🙂xx

I really needed this pep talk today. Thank you! I can’t wait for your course!

I loooove your processs! I have followed you for years and I looooveee this version of you

I’m so pissed for you I couldn’t believe my eyes!! (I mean I totally could) but you also just don’t walk up and touch people in general!! especially if you’re a creepy man at the gym and trying to touch a woman while she’s working out!! I freaking hate when I can feel someone staring at me at the gym, I’m sorry you had your boundaries crossed & I’m proud of you for telling him what’s good!! It’s frustrating because a lot of women straight up won’t even go to the gym out of fear of this kind of thing. Fantastic rest of the video per usual and thanks for not cutting the weirdo out and addressing the issue for any guys watching ❤️

You are AWESOME, I recently started watching some of your videos and I love your energy and study-based knowledge. These are great tips, especially the "love fuelled" fitness tip. Oh, also... GOOD FOR YOU for speaking up to that man child at the gym. It's unfortunate that you had to, but at the end of the day, you stood up for yourself and other women as well.

girl you just know what your talking about:) your so genuine and I absolutely love your positive and helpful videos so glad I found your channel!❤️

Yesss!! recently i decides to change my body - at first not for looks, but to be able to work all day without back and neck pain, plus to reduce stress. Now Ive been eating tasty healthy food and exercising 3x per week. One thing I noticed, and this is crazy, I dont have menstrual cramps anymore. I used to feel A LOT of pain from the 1st to the 3rd day of my cycle and now... nothing. Regular flux, nothing changed except for the absence of pain 😊😊😊😊😊😊 didnt lose weight until now, but my quality of life improved so much!

Dude, brushing my teeth is my number one passion in life.

Thanks for the amazing advice as always ❤

I feel like men doing that kinda of ego boosting bullsh*t to women at the gym without being asked is equivalent to mansplaining.

One of MissFitAndNerdy best videos!! Super Helpful

Your HAIR is FABULOUS! Oh and obviously great info as always. :)

oh my god!!! i saw that dude staringgggg at you in the background and I was like oh hell nah! then he legit walked up to you AND PROCEEDED TO TOUCH YOU my jaw dropped I had to pick it up off the ground! omg omg omg noooooo

Why do men feel entitles to touch us? 😡😡😡😡

I am actually following Stronglifts 5x5 workout and it's the only thing I have been consistent with. Why? It's literally 5 sets/5 reps of 3 exercises. You only lift 3x per week (squat all 3 day and then alternate between bench presses & rows and deadlifts and overhead presses). The workouts are hard because you lift heavy but short, which I love. No matter how tired I am, I can convince myself to get it done. Previously, I would create these 1-hour workouts which I never stuck with.

that's exactly why I work out at home 😂 I don't need someone touching me on me like I can't handle it.

Thank you Marisa :) you inspired me so much to work out, take it slow and dont stress it, and here i am half a year later finnaly being happy with my progress :) thank you again!

Also, I'm sorry that happened to you in the gym. Totally inappropriate. I often watch people do amazing lifts at the gym and might say "nice set" or some sort of acknowledgement of being awesome.... MAYBE... but I would never touch anyone. That's crazy. I don't get how people think they can just come up to others and "spot" them, or touch their hair, or pregnant belly, or whatever. NO!! Glad you stood up for yourself. I saw him in the video watching your set and then saw him walking closer and was "Noooooo!!!"

omg your hair!!!!!!!!!!!!!! love it!!!

I've been watching you for so many years I view you as my big sister. Like whenever I need health advice/motivation to stay on track I'm back on this channel like okay sis, lemme hear it

Yup I love you was scared as I’m in Ed treatment I’d be unable to watch you but nope you’re still awesome thank you

Lol your “facial manners” are too cute😂 thanks for the advices ✨

Love the cute breathe tee you’re wearing 🥰

You are onto something. I went to the cafeteria and I asked them to make me a Cortado and I love it!

They way you incorporated the sponsor was so sneaky and fit perfectly into the flow of the video! 😂

I love your channel. Did the tomato have any effect on your skin? How is your skin doing lately? Can you do another skin update?

Wow @ the pull up experience. This is why I have such anxiety working out at the gym. I literally haven't stepped foot in one in over 5 years because apparently the social norm of "don't touch strangers" goes out the window when you walk in + the male gaze. I was already uncomfortable watching this guy obviously watching you do pull ups while smiling, and then he went ahead and touched you... absolute no.

you are just the best

yesss, keep speaking them facts!

Biggest help was listening to what you had to say about eating when going through a strength training phase. After I heard it it was kinda like "ofcorse" after applying it It was like " ofcorse I need to put more in to get more out" "Duhuhuh I can observe it and feel it nshit." Somthing that seems so simple yet I hadn't been doing the work of being doing the diligence of getting fit before than. Way to be a positive force Marissa.

THE AUDACITY someone pick up my jaw

I'd really love to know what products you use in your hair when you wear it curly. I have a very similar curl pattern and I'm distracted by how good your hair looks while I watch this :)

I’ve never had a Cortada sounds very interesting also what kind of camera do you use?

The only times I have ever touched someone while they were lifting is if they were in trouble (severe danger trouble), they ask for it, or I think they need help so I ask them and they say yes. What he did is wrong.

Marissa! Love your videos but I’m dying to know what sneakers those are :)

Hey! Starting my fitness and health journey. Can you do your top health supplements that are covered by food stamps? Trying to do nutrient dense foods, but also am struggling and have chronic health issues and a child.

no bc ur hair is gorgeous

Good vibes

Diets are beyond personal. I was doing program that cycled you through different diets for a couple months ea. I have been vegetarian most of my life & gluten free neither are negotiable. Turns out keto is bad fit for me because I don't have good fat metabolism and have family gene for high cholesterol. Super high protein left me so low on energy & gaining wait. Very low stomach acid poor protein metabolism was dx. Started on 7 hcl with any decent amount of protein. I kept trying to eat high protein bkz that was very much promoted with in fitness community. Turns out my more Mediterranean higher fruit veg carb low fat mod pro diet was right for me all along. Do what works for you.

Everyone talks about you need to love your body, and your point about loving your body will get you to your goals, but changing your body will not make you love your body. I think I get the sentiment, but I can't really understand it. How do you even start to love your body? Where do you begin for that?

I do everything in my power to cut through bs and group think for my betterment. I don't usually put it out on front street because I don't think fitness needs to be about this. There are two things I consider for the utility of my workouts. Ether they need to be about saving somebody's life or kicking someone's f@#$in ass. Those each have there skill work but it turns out the key to both lives in self stabilized transverse movement rather one uses resistance or weight. I prefer a cender block or a heavy backpack. Then again im a wirdo go figure. I like connecting my breth to my driving and fainting movement that's what I'm all about. Imma cook drumsticks tonight is what. Pet my dogs and consider how lucky I am.

Marissa: "gotta stop doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results" also Marissa: goes to get a cortado hoping and praying she doesn't get addicted again XD

I actually noticed the guy staring around 9:38 then when he came closer by 9:44 still staring I was like "oh I guess he must know her" then 9:48 he came even closer, still staring, so I was like "yeah maybe they're like gym buddies or something" (like when people go to the gym together with friends) but then he reached and lifted your foot, and I went (ouo)?? Then the awkward coming down -> sound effect + "what the actual f*ck" I went "...ok, so not friends...just a random weirdo??? (O__O)"

Thank you missfitandnerdy for another great vid. This was very informative and answered some questions I had. Very cool. Keep up the good work and buy a big dog with big teeth, that likes to lift weights. That'll keep others in their place at the gym. LoL

Lol he was so impressed he had too 😅

Girl you need to drop that hair care routine 👀 your curls are looking gorgeous 😍

the amount of RAGE i felt for you when i simply noticed that guy staring and then he TOUCHED your foot?! that is so upsetting im sorry that happened wow

That COSMO and WANDA fit 😂

WTF the audacity of the guy 😳

Just want to say your haiiiiiirrrrr

Hey Melissa! I noticed those new recipes are all gluten free and as a newly gluten free person myself (unfortunately not by choice🤣) I was just wondering if you have some sort of gluten intolerance too or if you just prefer eating gluten free? I know that I’ve been finding it difficult to eat enough carbs whilst being gluten free so Id love to know if you have any tips also!☺️

Ha, "Go into a keto FB forum and post a sweet potato". That's really funny, but I'm not sure why?

What brand of creatine do you use?

🙋‍♀️ Here for your Breathe tee, details? please, please!!! xo julz

You do not touch someone without their consent PERIOD!

Not that anyone asked but if I may add a little bit of feedback? I love all of your content and how knowledgeable you are but I have a busy life and don’t have 20 min to watch every video from start to finish. Could you consider condensing a bit? I find myself fast forwarding sometimes to get to the subject but I’m afraid I might miss important info. Sorry, again I’m a huge fan. Not trying to criticize. Just something that I personally would like to see.

Also just don’t touch people in general, mid set or otherwise.

That guy was actually watching you the whole time before he came over to "help" 🤮

"YAAAAK= Kale"!

Oh hell no! This is part of why I’m scared to go to the gym…. Like WTF?!?!?

I would have been so upset too. Only I freeze and can't articulate my feelings in the moment . That said I was watching him watch you & he looked proud of you. Smiling so big watching you give it your all. I don't think he felt threatened. I think he liked you. Admired you & mistakenly thought that was a good way to meet you.

Marisa: Don't listen to diet dogma What my brain understands: Only a Sith deals in absolutes.

A little late to this party but that guy had some serious audacity. If I had that much audacity I’d be famous by now. Holy crap!

Let me first say I 100% agree with Marisa with the guy helping her with the last rep, she didn't ask for it and she was in no danger if she were to fail so he shouldn't have done that. A lot of these comments are saying he's threatened by you or should never touch a woman. That could be true. From a guys perspective in this situation yes he should have not done that. I don't agree he was threatened by you or emasculated. You can see in the mirror he's actually impressed. Right from the beginning he looks interested and smiling. He's probably never seen a girl do more than a couple pullups and wanted to help if he could. I 100% help people if they don't ask for it because they have failed and there is a potential for injury. I was working out on my own and had 2 minute breaks between sets. I don't listen to music or look on my phone, I just sit down or pace around my area. But I'm usually looking around to see what other people are doing to see something new I might want to try. Well one day I saw this girl doing bench presses which is pretty uncommon where I live. So I was more interested in what she was doing. I was in-between sets. I saw her fail on the last rep and the bar was coming down on her. I ran over and caught it. She thanked me for being there. I have helped and seen that happen to guys too. I didn't have someone there for me and I tore a tendon in my shoulder trying to get the bar off me. The guy probably had good intentions but it was the wrong time for that. If someone askes me for a spot I always ask how they want to be spotted. 99% of people you ask will spot you and 1% will do it how you want them to do it lol. If you ask someone. Tell them how you want to be spotted. Finale words. There are always negative things that happen in your life, it's how you deal with it that makes you a better person.

Where is that crop top from pls? 😍

Hello, new here! Loved this video so much 💕 Also I feel we are all so upset at that guy! Does he go around touching people around the gym? What kind of human are you, dude!!??? Ok sorry had to express that.

Also, just don’t touch someone you don’t know in general! Not appropriate.

That guy was lucky, I would have kicked him the moment he tried to touch me. What an a**hole! In spite of that, your video is great, as always!

I hope you reported him. That's unacceptable behavior at a commercial gym.

he was trying to help you get your chin above the bar bec that's a full pull up..but he shouldn't have touched you bec you didntbask

I saw him watching you in the mirror and literally said out loud “I hope she knows him” cuz he was just watching you smiling. 🤢 Not ok. He clearly doesn’t know what consent is and that’s scary.

Great pull ups! Your feelings are valid! That guy touching you was a No Go , but I think he meant well and was trying to be supportive. Not the worst thing that can happen in a gym by far. I think you handled it very well by calmly explaining proper gym etiquette and boundaries.👍

Wow, that guy! Soooo annoying! How rude 😳😤

Oh HELL NO 😳

I agree that he should not have touched you or assist you without your consent or you asking for help; but you let him control your emotions by still being angry with him 45 min later. Also, you rocked those pull-ups. Thanks for the information.

I can’t believe he touched MissFitAndNerdy 😳

His masculinity was definitely threatened. Friggin weirdo.. You don’t touch somebody that you don’t know, PERIOD.

_"... What's Holding You Back from the Body of Your Dreams ..."_ A few thousand km, and that she said no.

That guy should not have touched you AT ALL!!! Who does he think he is?!

What a creep

Ummmm.............Hi. 😁

Actually, you seem really nice, but I have an interesting question. Ever get into a fight and beat someone up?

that guy is gross

Let's show Marisa how much we love and appreciate her so please continue subscribing to her KZfaq channel 🥰 it'll mean the world to her
