Roid-Raging Fitness Coach And Motivational Speaker Wes Watson Brutally Beats Another Guy At The Gym

Posted • February 17, 2025: Fitness coach and motivational speaker Wes Watson was arrested on February 6 by the Miami Police Department at 5:30 PM. Watson faces felony battery assault charges after an incident that led to his detention. Eyewitnesses confirmed that officers placed Watson in the back of a police car, but as of now, it remains unclear if authorities will grant him bail. This arrest follows a previous controversy in late 2024 when Watson made headlines after a viral video showed him allegedly assaulting an individual at Elevation Fitness. Reports suggest he used a weapon during the incident. Watson was initially arrested on December 29, 2024, and charged with simple assault/battery (a misdemeanor), but he was later released. In response to the incident, Watson posted a video on Instagram, claiming the altercation was an act of self-defense after a taller, aggressive individual challenged him at the gym. He denied any intent to escalate the violence, emphasizing that the situation got out of hand after the individual insisted on fighting.
