Corazon Kwamboka Declares Her Stand in the BBL vs. Gym Debate: “Built, Not Bought”

Fitness enthusiast, socialite, and YouTuber Corazon Kwamboka has weighed in on the heated conversation surrounding body modification, making it clear where she stands.

The discussion has grown in Kenya as more women turn to cosmetic procedures such as the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), while others opt for the demanding alternative of building their bodies through consistent physical training.

Kwamboka summed up her philosophy in one bold declaration:
“I’m team gym serves results. Built, not bought.”

Team “Built Not Bought”

Kwamboka contrasted the discipline required in the gym with what she described as the convenience of surgery. She painted the BBL process as a straightforward shortcut:

“Pay, fly out, recover on your stomach, return snatched.”

She added that many women who choose BBL simply “pay once, heal, maintain kidogo, and they’re outside again.”

On the other hand, she described a gym-achieved physique as a journey requiring years of sacrifice:

“Wake up at 6am, lift heavy things, cry, repeat for years.”

While acknowledging that cosmetic surgery delivers quick results, Kwamboka argued that the gym provides something money can’t buy — a stronger mindset and long-term health benefits.

Is the Gym Really Cheaper? Kwamboka Breaks Down the Costs

Kwamboka also offered a tongue-in-cheek cost analysis, challenging the idea that working out is the low-budget option.

She highlighted the hidden expenses behind a fitness lifestyle, including:

• Gym memberships

• Personal trainers

• Protein and food costs

• Supplements

• Gym apparel

• Fitness watches

• Lifting belts, gloves, and straps

• Occasional physiotherapy sessions

By the time all these expenses are added up, Kwamboka joked, a BBL bill might actually look like a discount.

Even so, she reaffirmed her preference:
“But I still pick the gym.”

Kenyan Influencers Fuel the Body Enhancement Debate

Kwamboka’s comments come at a time when more Kenyan celebrities and influencers are openly discussing or embracing body enhancement procedures.

Public figures such as Murugi Munyi and Risper Faith have been candid about undergoing 360 liposuction, with Faith revealing she spent Ksh 450,000 to remove eight litres of fat.
Singer Tanasha Donna has also faced persistent speculation over a possible butt augmentation.

The trend has sparked intense online debates, with creators like Pritty Vishy and Lydia Wanjiru defending cosmetic surgery as a personal choice.

Kwamboka’s voice now adds another layer to the ongoing national conversation — highlighting not only the physical realities but also the financial and mental investments behind the bodies celebrated online.
