Opinion
There is no denying that Lagosians are huge on fitness
and dieting. It is hard to go past a district without finding at least one gym
or a health shop. While these gyms vary in size, type of equipment and staff
strength, one thing they have in common are the kind of people that visit the facilities.
If you have ever been to a Lagos gym, you probably know what we at Jumia Travel
are talking about and if you haven’t, here are the types of people at the gym
you will usually see.
The confused newbie
This person is just new to gyming and still has all the
enthusiasm of a fresher. He or she is well equipped and has the complete
outfit, from head bank to sneakers. Unfortunately, he still does not know how
to use all the machines properly but would rather break an ankle on the
treadmill than ask for help. Believe it or not but oftentimes you may find the
most clueless people attempting to work out at the gym in Lagos.
The irritating uncle
Basically a creep, the “ Irritating Uncle” is at the gym to look at chicks and seize
opportunities to cup a feel. They are actually registered and have the right
apparels on, but they would rather just stand around making small talk and
offering to help unsuspecting ladies or just pick up chicks than actually work
out.
The babe
This is the kind of girl who would probably say
something like : "I don't sweat, I sparkle." She comes to the gym wearing the most
attractive and tight gym clothes, as well as the kind of makeup you'd wear on
your wedding day. Her hair is freshly done and her clothes are perfumed. She
hydrates and uses her phones more than she actually works out.
The selfie addict
You are absolutely guaranteed to find the “Selfie
addicts” plastered to the nearest mirror having a photo-shoot with their smart
phones. This person is not at the gym to work out; he is much more interested
in making short videos for Instagram and snapchat and taking selfies than
exerting themselves. They take poses and present a highly orchestrated image on
social media.
The “look at me” gym show-offs
This one has the perfect gym body and can easily
maneuver any machine in the gym, but them, he likes to show-off. He refuses to
work out while putting a shirt on, literally giving everyone else body
dysmorphia. He also likes to share tips and offer remedies that have helped him
in the past to tackle several issues that may come up.
