Arnold Schwarzenegger Goes Undercover to Prank Gym Rats

If you're looking to improve your squat game, hire a personal trainer. And no one says fitness more clearly (read: with more of an accent) than the former governor of California.

Arnold Schwarzenegger recently went undercover at a Gold's Gym in Venice, Calif., as a regional manager named Howard. The Terminator doled out impressive fitness advice, including, "When it burns it grows" and "Quit being a baby. This is Gold's Gym, not a baby gym."

Schwarzenegger's prank was an effort to promote the After-School All-Stars program, which provides kids with health and leadership education. You can enter for a chance to meet Schwarzenegger himself by donating $10 or more.

The actor-turned-politician held a Reddit AMA Tuesday, where this video originally debuted.
