Outside, But Make It Fitness
Look, we love a good brunch, a little cocktail, maybe small chops here and there. But have you tried outside that makes you breathe heavy, not because of Lagos traffic, or because you are running after Danfo, but because your body is actually doing something?
Today, we’re swapping soft life for sweat life (temporarily o). Lagos has a few fun, active spots that prove “fitness” doesn’t have to mean boring gym mirrors and protein shakes. It can still be vibes, with just a bit of panting.
Weland Climbing Gym – Lekki
If you’ve ever wanted to feel like Spider-Man (minus the superhero salary), here’s your chance.
At Weland Climbing Gym, you get to climb walls, test your strength, sweat, and discover that your upper body may have been lying to you all these years.
You’ll probably question your life choices halfway up the wall. But when you finally hit the top? Pure bragging rights.
It’s fun, safe, and the perfect way to turn “I’m outside” into “I’m outside and my abs are forming.”
We’re recommending it because It’s the perfect mix of fear and fun, like Lagos dating, but safer. So, come ready to climb, fall (gracefully), and brag about it later.
FlyboardNG – Lekki Leisure Lake
This is not your regular “outside.” This is hovering-over-water-with-a-jetpack kind of outside.
FlyboardNG lets you literally rise above Lagos stress, like physically levitating over the water with a jetpack on your feet. It’s wild, it’s exciting, and yes, you will scream while you feel like Iron Man (don’t worry, everyone does).
One minute you’re flying, the next you’re in the water wondering how you ended up there. But trust me, it’s an experience worth the wet hair and screaming. So if you’ve been looking for a way to mix adrenaline and enjoyment, this is your sign, because who needs wings when you have water jets?
Upbeat Recreation Centre – Lekki
Trampolines, obstacle courses, wall climbing.
Upbeat is the fitness version of a good time. It’s for people who like to move, laugh, and pretend the sweat on their forehead is just “Lagos humidity.”
At Upbeat, you can bounce your way through trampolines, obstacle courses, and a full-on adventure park.
It’s family-friendly, group-chat-approved, and a fun way to work out without realizing you’re actually doing exercise.
Zorbing Nigeria – Landmark Beach
Now, imagine being trapped in a giant transparent ball and rolling around like a confused hamster. That’s Zorbing and it’s way more fun than it sounds.
You’ll roll, tumble, laugh, and probably forget you’re an adult with responsibilities. It’s chaotic, and slightly dizzying but with it.
Whether you’re doing it for the laughs, the thrill, or just the Instagram video, it’s one of the best ways to let loose on a beach day.
So, what’s the point?
Outside is still outside, even if there’s sweat involved.
Next time your friends are shouting “let’s go to brunch,” maybe suggest “let’s go zorbing.” You’ll still get great photos, good laughs, and the satisfaction of knowing your enjoyment came with cardio.
