A fitness influencer has come under fire after posting a video of herself lifting weights while her baby plays beneath her.
The clip showed Krissy Cela squatting 110kg in her at-home gym while her 10-month-old child Arlo sat by her feet.
The 30-year-old wore a matching navy blue workout ensemble as she lifted two 45kg weights onto her shoulders and began to do squat reps.
Fans flooded Reddit to slam the social media star, dubbing her actions 'actually insane'.
'Hello!!! is this safe?' one person captioned the video on the platform.
Another added: 'Lmao I've f***ed up re-racking much less weight than that and had the bar end up sideways or on the ground. Why anyone would willingly have 100+ lbs over their child's head for no good reason is beyond me.'
'Oh this is actually insane,' someone chimed in.
Some fans pointed out that despite there being safety bars below the lifting station, the baby was taller than them.
'Her son’s head is taller than the safety bars???? Or am I tripping,' they wrote.
Another agreed, saying: 'The baby is literally right where she needs to stand to re-rack the weight safely. How stupid.'
'I wouldn’t allow my child IN the weight room let alone directly under a loaded unracked barbell. This is negligent!' one Reddit user claimed.
In 2019, Krissy made over £1m (AU$2.04m) just eight months after launching her fitness app.
The mum, who lives in London, was working 30 hours a week as a waitress while juggling legal training to stay afloat.
'It was a challenging time for me. Fitness found me when I needed something the most,' she said.
She started to post videos of her workouts on social media two years prior to the app release and her Instagram followers quickly increased.
'I began to realise that so many women around the world felt the same way I did and could connect with me on a personal level,' she told Femail.
Krissy, who completed her lawyer training in 2018, launched her fitness app called Tone and Sculpt - a 12-week fitness plan that took the world by storm - a year later.
Talking about why she started it, she said: 'I was going through a really hard time in my life. I felt like I was so alone and afraid that I wouldn’t be able to shift my focus onto anything positive. '
'I’ve gone through my share of days feeling unmotivated and not bothered, and I still have them, but the community I’ve built via my personal page and the Tone & Sculpt App is like no other.
'These women are my family, they are real people who just want to be part of something special! When the real reason it’s special is because they are special,' she admits.
