Big Brother Naija star, Teddy A, has cautioned ladies over indecent dressing while working out at the gym. The reality TV star expressed his concerns about the growing trend of women wearing revealing outfits to exercise, emphasizing the need for modesty and appropriate attire.
In a video posted online, Teddy A voiced his displeasure over what he described as "certain gym habits" that he believes should be discouraged. He pointed out that some women wear clothes that expose too much skin, which he feels is inappropriate for a public fitness environment. According to him, dressing modestly while working out is not only a sign of self-respect but also a way to maintain decorum in shared spaces.
“I’m not trying to be insensitive, but we don’t want them to start banning girls from the gym because of indecent dressing,” he stated in the video, making it clear that he was advocating for a more responsible approach to gym fashion rather than policing women’s choices outright.
He further questioned whether a strict dress code or outright ban on certain types of outfits might become necessary if the trend continues. While acknowledging that personal freedom is important, he urged gym-goers to be mindful of their attire and consider the impact it might have on others in the same space.
Many social media users have since reacted to Teddy A’s comments, with mixed opinions. While some supported his stance, agreeing that gym-goers should dress appropriately, others argued that individuals should be free to wear whatever makes them comfortable while working out.
Some netizens pointed out that gyms already have policies in place regarding dress codes and that it should be left to gym management to decide what is acceptable rather than calling for a general restriction.

@king_drex: “He’s making a valid point. Some gym outfits are just too revealing. There’s a thin line between looking good and being inappropriate.”
@real_anita: “Everyone should wear what makes them feel comfortable while working out. The gym isn’t a moral ground for policing outfits.”
@fitguy_jay: “I get where he’s coming from, but instead of banning outfits, maybe gyms should just enforce their own dress codes.”
@ladyboss_mary: “Men work out shirtless all the time, and no one complains. Why do people always have issues when it’s women?”
@mike_the_trainer: “There’s gym etiquette, and everyone should be considerate of others. If your outfit is making people uncomfortable, maybe rethink it.”
