Arnold Schwarzenegger is still at it, pumping iron on his 79th birthday at Gold’s Gym Venice in California on Thursday.
‘I turn 79 today,’ the former California Governor captioned his gym snaps. ‘I don’t want any gifts.’
Instead, Schwarzenegger urged his 62.1 million social media followers to join his fitness app, Arnold’s Pump Club, offering the first year free if they can complete four workout programs.
‘”Arnold, I thought you were a good businessman?” I am,’ the seven-time Mr. Olympia wrote.
‘But the Pump Club is not backed by a private equity fund or a hedge fund. It’s backed by me. This is a crusade, not just a business. I’ve been trying to get people to train for six decades, and I finally found something that works.
‘If I can make millions of you train all year, I’ll take the loss.’

Schwarzenegger, who’s worth an estimated $1.2 billion, also received a sweet birthday tribute from his eldest child, Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt.
‘Happy birthday, Dad!’ the 36-year-old influencer captioned her slideshow.
‘So lucky you’re ours… and even luckier our kids get you as Opa.’
Katherine did not post any photos of her famous father interacting with his three grandchildren – Lyla, five, Eloise, four, and Ford, 20 months – but plenty of daddy-daughter throwbacks.
The NY Times-bestselling author also posted three happy snaps of Schwarzenegger posing with her mother and his ex-wife, Maria Shriver.
The ‘Austrian Oak’ and the 70-year-old journalist welcomed three younger children – daughter Christina, 35, son Patrick, 32, and son Christopher, 28 – during their 25-year marriage, which ended in 2011 before their divorce was finalized in 2021.
Shriver famously discovered Schwarzenegger had secretly fathered 28-year-old love child Joseph during a ‘one-night stand’ with their housekeeper Mildred ‘Patty’ Baena, but he’s been following in his bodybuilding footsteps more than any other child.
Last year, the Emmy-winning reporter admitted in her poetry book I Am Maria that the divorce ‘broke my heart, it broke my spirit, it broke what was left of me. Without my marriage, my parents, a job — the dam of my lifelong capital-D Denial just blew apart.’
Last month, principal photography began in Budapest on Brad Peyton’s abduction action film The Kellys for Amazon MGM Studios starring Schwarzenegger, Liam Hemsworth, Geena Davis, Michael Biehn and Noomi Rapace.

But first, audiences can catch the Courtroom Chaos star as Santa Claus in Adam Shankman’s Christmas action comedy The Man with the Bag, which premieres December 2 on Prime Video
The Courtroom Chaos star revealed he was ‘excited’ to reprise his role as Conan the Barbarian next year in 20th Century Studios’ sequel King Conan written and directed by Christopher McQuarrie.
‘The movie wouldn’t have worked after I did the first Conan because the whole idea of King Conan is that, for 40 years, he has been king. He is older now,’ Schwarzenegger told TheArnoldFans in May.
‘He is no longer in the shape he was from his heyday, and now people are trying to take him out. He’s the king, and he gets a little bit complacent. He’s tired of the job, and he wants to move on. Look at the movie by Clint Eastwood, Unforgiven. It will be a lot like that, but it will be with extraordinary battles.’

The Daily Mail has reached out to Schwarzenegger’s rep for comment but did not immediately hear back.
