When GTA: San Andreas released, critics and fans alike praised the joy of the typically violent open world alongside just how much fun you can have with the lead character CJ. Now, new fans can join the fun with the Definitive Edition as free-to-play on the Netflix mobile app. When you do, you can discover how much CJ can change both stat-based and physical. And it’s all due to finding all of the GTA: San Andreas gym locations.
Where To Find Gyms in GTA: San Andreas
There are only three gym locations on the map in GTA: San Andreas, and they aren’t difficult to hunt down thanks to the red dumbbell icons on the map. After you complete the “Drive-Thru” mission, you’ll unlock access to gyms. Here are all of the named gyms in the game:
- Ganton Gym
- Cobra Martial Arts Gym
- Below the Belt Gym
Although they’re named differently and in different areas in GTA: San Andreas, the gyms look and function the same once you get inside.
Ganton Gym Location in San Andreas
To reach the Ganton Gym, visit Ganton, Los Santos. The gym is located on a street corner.
Cobra Marital Arts Gym Location
Another hard-to-miss gym, Cobra Marital Arts is in Garcia, San Fierro. If you don’t think you see it, look for the giant cobra sign on the building.
Below the Belt Gym Location
Head to Redsands East, Las Venturas for this GTA: San Andreas gym. There are two obvious gym signs on the brick building. Simply head up the stairs to enter the gym.
Hidden GTA: San Andreas Gym Locations
The above gyms are the main ones highlighted on the map. However, there are two more gyms CJ can work out at. Both of these gyms are in Los Santos.
- Verona Beach Gym: Located in Verona Beach, this gym resembles the real-life iconic Muscle Beach in California.
- Madd Dogg’s Crib Gym: You can visit Madd Dogg’s Crib in Mulholland to see his private gym.
Purpose of Gyms in GTA: San Andreas
The gyms in San Andreas allow you to change CJ’s appearance. You can already give him tattoos and haircuts. However, the gym can help CJ lose weight and gain muscle. This can improve his overall Sex Appeal rating if you’re interested in the romances. Also, it can raise stats depending on what machine you use.
For instance, you can use a treadmill to reduce weight and improve CJ’s stamina. Meanwhile, the dumbbells and bench press can help him gain noticeable muscles and raise stats like melee damage. There’s also someone in each gym ready to teach CJ new fighting moves.
If you’re ready to jump into GTA: San Andreas and transform CJ into the man you want him to be, you should remember all of these gym locations. You’ll get to them faster whenever the need comes.
GTA: San Andreas is available on PC, PlayStation,
