It’s no secret that Arnold Schwarzenegger gets fit. After all, those muscles in the Austrian actor’s best movies didn’t appear overnight. If you can believe it, the A-list celebrity actually takes his workouts to a public gym when he travels, with an understandable reason why. Seeing Schwarzenegger working those biceps in his ‘70s can show anyone that it’s never too late to stay strong and connect with your body.
As the bankable actor’s beginnings were as a professional bodybuilder, you know he’s got fitness regimes in the bag. Even after having open-heart surgery, Schwarzenegger made a workout routine in time for Terminator 6. However, the actor doesn’t hide at home when pumping iron. While speaking on Radio Andy, he got real about why he works out at a public gym, Equinox, when traveling, saying:
People that are skinny, medium shape, that are overweight. […] Everyone is sweating and everyone is working out.
Fans have already screamed the actor’s famous quotes at him in the past. I could imagine how annoying that would be if he were concentrating on the weights only for a fan to sneak up from behind him and say, “Hasta la vista, baby.”
But history has shown that Arnold Schwarzenegger feels at home with gym-goers. In 2014, the former Governor of California put on a fake mustache and pretended to be a fitness instructor to promote health, fitness and the After School All-Stars program to Gold’s Gym members. I just find it funny that despite the disguise, people couldn’t see through the Commando actor’s signature accent.

It looks like you’ll find Arnold Schwarzenegger at your local Equinox gym during his travels so he can be around “sweaty” people like him. But remember, wait for the Predator actor to finish exercising before asking for a selfie. He deserves his space like any other celebrity. You can see the fitted actor in the new second season of FUBAR streaming with your Netflix subscription.
