Weight Training

Weight training is one of GTA 6's most developed confirmed leisure systems. An Extended Look shows Lucia performing a bench press from an overhead camera angle while alternating L2 and R2 prompts appear directly on the bar. Follow-up previews describe the gym as a timed exercise minigame in which maintaining the correct pace matters: pushing too quickly can exhaust the character before the set is complete, while consistent training improves physical condition.

Rockstar has also confirmed that exercise affects Jason and Lucia's bodies. Food can increase weight, while training visibly builds and tones muscle. Preview material describes health, cardio, fitness, stamina and strength as relevant physical attributes and indicates that gym work can provide longer-term improvements rather than only temporary animation changes. A gym membership may be required at some facilities, while equipment such as benches and pull-up bars is reported to be usable.

The system deliberately recalls GTA: San Andreas, where CJ could gain muscle, lose fat and improve performance by visiting gyms. GTA V removed that level of body progression. GTA 6 brings the idea back in a more detailed lifestyle system connected to eating, sleep and the protagonists' appearance, making exercise both a minigame and a character-development activity.
