Overview
The San Andreas gym let CJ visibly change shape, and it is near the top of every comeback wishlist. A returning version would let players shape muscle and stamina over time, making the gym a long-term project rather than a one-off mini-game.
How it works
San Andreas used timing-based rep mini-games on weights and cardio machines, with effort raising muscle and stamina stats while neglect let them slide. A modern take would likely keep that feedback loop, possibly tying physique into how Lucia and Jason look and perform in the field.
In the series
San Andreas remains the only mainline GTA where body type was a system you managed, which is exactly why its return is so anticipated. With two protagonists this time, the studio has twice the reason to let players sculpt how each one carries themselves.
Trivia
Working out sits alongside basketball and fighting as part of the San Andreas activity revival fans keep pointing to, painting a picture of GTA 6 borrowing heavily from that game’s lived-in side content.
