Arnold Schwarzenegger Shares the Penultimate Finish Strong Challenge With $1000 for the Taking for His 600,000 Village Members

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Pump Club Village will be ending the year with a $1000 challenge that sets the fitness momentum for New Year’s Eve. This December, Schwarzenegger, who didn’t spend a dime on starting his village, will be offering $1000 to three random winners of the Finish Strong challenge. So, he recently shared the penultimate workout list of the challenge.

The Arnold’s Pump Club writer’s room is a brainstorming wing for the newsletter’s content that touches upon various aspects of a healthy lifestyle. Its 600,000 village members are relieved to escape from the chaos of fitness fads online and embrace an evidence-backed newsletter.
