Real Reason Why ‘People’s Champion’ Dwayne Johnson Does Not Work Out in Public Gyms Like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Others

Dwayne Johnson has always been a fitness enthusiast. Even though he sported a lean physique during his WWE days. After switching to Hollywood, he has upped his fitness game to the next level. His physical transformation has become a sight to behold. It is, however, very tough to maintain a tough fitness regime while being in the movie business.

Actors constantly have to be on the move for shooting or promoting movies. Many times, this becomes an even tougher job as overseas travel is involved. The Rock has carved out a very successful career in Hollywood. And his roles require that he always stay in top physical shape.

A packed schedule usually means that he has to often travel with his own gyms to the shooting locations. In a past appearance at the Ellen DeGeneres Show, Johnson lifted the lid on why he preferred to work out in his own gym.

Dwayne Johnson opened up on his workout preference

Talking on Ellen, he said, “Well, for context any place that I shoot, just in terms of locations that I go to, then I’ll bring the gym with me. If I’m in a location whether it’s Europe or Hawaii or wherever it is… I bring the gym”

Johnson was further asked why he preferred his personal gym over a public gym. He responded, ”The only thing is it’s just extremely hard for me to get a workout in a public gym because it’s a lot of people and the etiquette gets thrown out of the window. And I just can’t get a workout in.”

The People’s Champ might have his reasons for preferring to work out alone. And it has been well advertised in the past that the actor travels with a gym. One that he calls his own Iron Paradise.

Another legend prefers public gyms

It may seem to people that all celebrities might prefer working out on their own. However, that is certainly not the case for bodybuilding and Hollywood legend Arnold Schwarzenegger. The former governor of California’s love for a good workout is quite apparent to people.

He still puts in the hard hours, albeit with a personalized regime suited to his age. But Schwarzenegger has always been known to work out in a public gym throughout his career. His association with Gold’s Gym is quite well known; going as far back as his bodybuilding days.

Even though the method of fitness regimes might be different for every athlete or actor. But the ultimate goal remains the same. Which is staying at the top of physical shape. Johnson and Schwarzenegger have both sported amazing build throughout their careers while following completely contrasting paths when it comes to the preferred workout place.
