Schwarzenegger likes the crowds at the gyms

When Arnie was asked why he still went to a public gym, the bodybuilder replied he did it because he liked social interaction. He also likes how people enjoy the whole process together rather than in isolation, which would be done only in personal gyms. He stated, “I have a fantastic home gym, and I use it if I want a second workout or some extra cardio. But I’ll never stop going to public gyms. I love the community. I love seeing the same crowd every day, joking together, enjoying our progress together, and just schmoozing between sets.”

The Austrian Oak further suggested how many people are often scared about stepping into the gym for the first time. Although there can be a dozen different reasons, most people have a shared social anxiety. He commented, “I want you to know that there isn’t anything to worry about. I see newcomers every day. I’m proud of them. The hardest thing is starting out. I see the old members giving them pointers or congratulating them.”

Although 76 years old, when Arnold Schwarzenegger is asked about his journey to the gym and how he does it, Arnie proudly replies what he plans to do daily.
