‘Watching This Made My Body Hurt’: Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade Stun Fans After Sharing Their Workout Routine 

Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade gave fans a snippet into how they maintain their rock-hard bodies.

On April 21, in an Instagram post shared on Union’s account, the two were seen doing a full-body workout in what appears to be their home gym as Afrospace’s “Workout” track blared in the background.

Both Union and Wade took on various exercises, including the leg press, inclined treadmill and lifting weighted dumbbells. The couple finished the rigorous gym session with a couple of abs and arm exercises that incorporated elastic bands.

In addition to the video, Union captioned the post, which was lyrically inspired by Fergie’s 2006 hit “Fergalicious,” “I be up in the gym, workin on my @fitonapp fitness, he’s my witness!”

Following Union’s upload, Wade hinted in the comments section at one of the reasons why the couple may be training so hard. While mentioning the upcoming Met Gala, he wrote, “Met Gala countdown.” The Met Gala is a fundraising event for New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. According to Vogue, it is often referred to as “fashion‘s biggest night out.”

As fans viewed Union’s post, the remarks varied from many praising the couple to several individuals expressing their honest opinions regarding the workout clip.

“Watching this made my body hurt.”

“This video just told me to ‘Stand up.’”

“Couples that work out for each other stay sexy together.”

“It’s the dual slay for me!”

“I love you guys and how you love on each other and your fam! Blessing to you both. You inspire us and represent well.”

Among the previous comments, others expressed how enamored they were by Union and Wade’s gym. One wrote, “It’s the amazing home gym for me!!!” Another said, “Wooooow, this is a gym in your home?!”

A third Instagram user posted, “Home gym goals!”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
