I have a new personal trainer: Arnold Schwarzenegger. And I’m finally having fun in the gym! 

For the last 16 years, I’ve designed my own strength training programs. The results: a mediocre physique. 

A couple of weeks ago, I saw a post from Arnold Schwarzenegger on X. He was running a special on his new workout app, Arnold’s Pump Club. 

I’ve been a huge fan of Arnold Schwarzenegger for years. What did I have to lose? 

Doing My First Workout 

I’ve never used a fitness app before. Would I even be able to figure out how to do these workouts?

Fortunately, Pump Club makes it easy. Every single exercise has an awesome instructional video. 

You can even swap out exercises if you don’t have the right equipment or you have an injury. I replaced squats with stiff leg deadlifts, which are much easier on my back. 

Tracking Workouts the Easy Way

My first workout was rough!

I was pouring sweat and out of breath. But that’s how you know you’re getting somewhere, right? 

Pump Club makes it super easy to track workouts. There’s spots to put in pounds and number of reps.

Then the next time you do that exercise, the app pulls in your prior weight and rep count. 

Lifting 2.5x As Much, Having 10x More Fun!

I never knew if the programs I designed were good or not. That left me less motivated to work out. 

Outsourcing everything to Arnold has made a huge difference.

Arnold still looks great at 79 years old. Whatever he’s doing is working. 

Since I’m confident the workouts will pay dividends, I’m much more motivated to do them. 

Pump Club has gotten me to increase my weight workouts from two to three times a week. My workouts have gone from 45 minutes to around 1 hour 15 minutes.

I’ve 2.5x-ed my training volume. And I’m having a lot more fun! 

Pump Club Is a Friendly Place

The internet is filled with negativity. Pump Club is one place where I never see that.

If you put up a post saying you crushed your workout, people rush in to congratulate you! 

I’ve tried to encourage others as well. It feels good to know that somebody, somewhere may be a little more motivated because I cheered them on. 

Wrap-Up

I really encourage you to try this app! I’ve recommended it to all my friends.

Pump Club has programs for everyone. It works for people who’ve never exercised all the way to advanced weightlifters. 

The club includes people of all ages. Arnold himself is almost 80!
