Reason I’ll Never Allow My Woman Attend Public Gym - Terry Apala

Prominent Nigerian music star, Terry Apala has raised debate after saying he would never allow his partner to attend a public gym.

Speaking on the Echo Room podcast, Apala explained that his time as a member of iFitness VGC and another fitness centre influenced his opinion about women and gym culture.

According to him, gyms have largely turned into social hubs where many women go to “catch vibes” and make videos instead of exercising. While he admitted that a few women genuinely focus on fitness, he stressed that many others simply go to enjoy the atmosphere.

In his words: “I will not allow my partner to go to the gym. I was a member of iFitness VGC so I’ve been there. I saw what was going down. I feel like ladies of nowadays are just going to the gym to just vibe and do videos. They’re just vibing, they’re not there to actually work out.

“If they really want to work out, they won’t be focused on doing videos. They are just there to seduce men because some men also go to the gym to look for women. I’m speaking from experience. I also once registered with a gym in Megamound Estate. I saw things there. Girls go there to do all manner of things.

“A lot of ladies are just at the gym to have fun. Maybe, few ladies are going to the gym to actually work out, but many of them are just going there to enjoy the vibe.”
