Zahra, a fitness influencer from the US, shared a video where she is yelled at by a woman after starting to run on the treadmill.

In the clip, posted on her TikTok profile, Zahra is seen recording herself while running on the treadmill. However, she was surprised when a woman approached her and said that she was “running too loud” and that the noise was disturbing her music.

“How would you have reacted?” the influencer wrote in the caption of the video, which has already received over 10 million views, 900K likes, and thousands of comments reacting to the completely unexpected scene.

“How DARE you make noise in a SHARED space?” one TikTok user sarcastically commented. “Sometimes I think I’m a nice person, and then I see someone truly nice and how they react… and then I realize I’m definitely not a nice person,” added another internet user.

Zahra made another video to reflect on the situation. “It’s funny, but it also reminds me how often we are all in our own worlds, with limited awareness of what’s going on around us. And I get it—the media, the fast-paced life—it’s easy to feel disconnected.”

“I definitely didn’t mean to ruin anyone’s vibe! We’re all there to improve ourselves, and who knows what someone else is going through. So, my approach? Don’t react. Let it roll off. The best we can do is laugh it off and keep going (even if I laugh nervously sometimes),” reflected the influencer.

@zahrafit.cpt When you’re just trying to get a solid sprint in but someone’s not thrilled with your playlist choice…😂 It’s funny, but it also reminds me how often we’re all in our own worlds, with limited awareness of what’s going on around us. And I get it—the media, the fast-paced life—it’s easy to feel disconnected. I definitely didn’t mean to mess up anyone’s vibe! We’re all there to improve ourselves, and who knows what someone else is going through. So, my approach? Don’t react. Let it roll off. The best we can do is laugh it off and keep going (even if I laugh nervously sometimes 😅). What about you? How do you handle situations like this? 👀 #GymCommunity #StayKind #FocusOnYou #KeepRunning #JoeySwoll #KillThemWithKindness #LifeAintSoSerious @Joey Swoll ♬ original sound – Zahra
