Lagos Gyms Turning Hotspot For H00kups –


  • Some individuals who frequent the gym have raised concerns that their workout spaces are becoming places for women looking to hook up.
  • A trend has emerged where many women wear revealing clothing to attract affluent men.
  • They shared their disappointment that some fitness enthusiasts seem to value social interactions more than their physical health

Several gym-goers have voiced worries that their fitness centers are turning into hotspots for women seeking romantic connections.

Many women are now opting for revealing outfits at the gym to attract wealthy men. In interviews with NAN on Saturday, these gym users expressed frustration that some individuals prioritize socializing over their health and fitness goals.

Jason Onwuka, a member of a gym in Festac, mentioned that he finds it challenging to focus on his fitness due to distractions from social media influencers.

“I prefer the gym for motivation, but I’ve seen people meeting up there clearly not to work out,” he said.

“They’ll spend hours chatting and laughing, which isn’t the gym’s purpose.”

“There will always be distractions. If you go to the gym with a clear goal, it’s up to you whether you let distractions affect you,” he added.

He said professional female gym-goers tend to be more focused, wearing practical workout attire like leggings or tights.

Folarin Adekoya, a gym-goer in Ikeja, said some enthusiasts seem more focused on socialising and taking photos for social media than on actual workouts.

“Some women wear revealing and provocative gym outfits, which raises questions about their motivations,” he said.

“But it’s not just the clothing causing a stir. Some gym-goers use these spaces to hook up with romantic partners. I’ve seen women in outfits that are quite revealing—it can be distracting when you’re trying to focus on your workout.”
