San Andreas, twenty-two years on

The gym and body changes

Working out, memberships and what it does

The Extended Look lists a gym among GTA 6's activities, and Rockstar has shown both leads lifting. Confirmed Press who saw the game report that it changes your character's body, as it did in San Andreas in 2004. Reported Confirmed

What Rockstar has shown

Official screenshots show Lucia on a bench press in a gym, in a cropped hoodie, lifting gloves and headphones, and hitting a heavy bag with earbuds in. One of the November 5 Launch gallery: 39 screenshots images shows Jason bench pressing with a barbell in a home gym. Confirmed

Body changes

Coverage of the Extended Look describes the gym as having San Andreas-style body changes: train and your character gets visibly stronger. What your character eats shows on their body too; see Food and drink. Reported In a Famitsu interview, Rob Nelson of Rockstar North said the game tracks health, cardio and fitness, and that training is what raises your base health and stamina for good. Confirmed Rockstar has not published the details, such as how fast it happens or whether it affects stamina or strength. More on this is on Customisation.

Working out together

Edge reports that Jason and Lucia's four-level Relationship scale goes up when they walk, cycle, drive and work out together, and that working out needs a gym membership. Reported Insider Gaming's preview saw Lucia buy a protein shake for a workout. Reported

What is not known

No gym has been named and none is on the map yet. Rockstar has not said what a membership costs, whether there are minigames for each exercise, or whether neglecting it reverses the gains. Unknown
