This mirrors Terry Apala’s comments in a recent interview on *Echo Room* with Teddy A, where he shared why he’s uncomfortable with his partner being part of that environment.
According to the singer, most women he’s seen at gyms like iFitness VGC and Megamound Estate are not really there to train. “They’re just vibing,” he said. “Some even go just to make videos or flirt with the trainers.”
Apala added that his opinion isn’t based on insecurity, but on real-life experience. He explained that he has personally witnessed behaviors that raised red flags for him, leading to his decision. “I know what I’ve seen. I don’t want that for my woman,” he said firmly.
His stance has sparked a heated debate online. While some say he’s being overprotective, others argue he’s simply setting boundaries based on what he’s experienced firsthand.
The discussion also opens a wider lens on how personal spaces like gyms are evolving in big cities shifting from places of self-discipline to arenas of attention and social status. Apala’s take, though blunt, reflects a growing concern in today’s hyper-visual culture.
