Arnold Schwarzenegger's 79th birthday gift to fans: A free year of fitness—here's how to get it

Hollywood legend, former California governor, and bodybuilding icon Arnold Schwarzenegger turned 79 today. The Terminator took to social media to celebrate his 79th birthday but with an unusual request for fans. Instead of asking for presents, Schwarzenegger announced a new initiative aimed at encouraging people to get fit.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Schwarzenegger wrote, "I turn 79 today. I don't want any gifts. Instead, my team and I decided to revolutionize the fitness industry — and we're doing something crazy to celebrate."

He then introduced a limited-time offer tied to his Pump Club fitness app.


According to Schwarzenegger, anyone who joins the app between July 30 and August 9 and completes four workout programs within their first year will receive a full refund of the annual subscription fee.

"Zero. Nada. Zilch. No fine print. If you show up and do the work, your first year is free. The payments are automatically sent back to your card," he said.

Schwarzenegger explained that users can start with a seven-day free trial before paying $100 for the annual subscription. Those who complete the required workout programs will automatically receive $50 back after finishing the first program and another $50 after completing the fourth, effectively making the first year free.
