Arnold Schwarzenegger recently announced that he was offering totally free access to his wildly popular Pump Club Fitness App for the unemployed<\/a>, but it\u2019s sure to be some kind of gimmicky free trial or have some other catch, right? Apparently not, as M&F explains.<\/p>\n With many of us resolving to make 2026 a year for personal change, a limiting factor that often stalls our fitness goals is the sticky issue of finances, and with unemployment accounting for lower levels of physical exercise<\/a>, a battered budget can get in the way of joining a gym or accessing motivational resources. Fortunately, lifetime fitness enthusiast and the world\u2019s most famous bodybuilder, Arnold Schwarzenegger is looking to redress the balance \u2014 by opening up his Pump Club Fitness App and making it free for the unemployed.<\/p>\n This week, Arnold used his second home, the gym, to announce the generous plans. \u201cI came up with a new idea,\u201d he announced via social media. \u201cI said to myself, \u2018well, when you lose your job, you lose your money, then sometimes you cannot afford to go to the gym and to workout and buy the food supplements and all this,\u2019 but I always said, for the last sixty years, that fitness and health should be for everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n Fitness is for everyone.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve read a lot about layoffs, and I don\u2019t believe you should lose your fitness because you lose your job. Unlike some people, I always put my money where my mouth is.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re out of work, I\u2019ve made my fitness app, the Pump Club, free at\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/er8eNMwXcL<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Arnold Schwarzenegger (@Schwarzenegger) January 5, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Putting his money where his mouth is, Arnold said that he would uphold his vision to \u201cleave no worker behind,\u201d and offer free Pump Club membership to the unemployed. Now, whatever your politics, that\u2019s a sound offer, and there really are no strings say the Terminator star. \u201cJoin us for free, you don\u2019t have to pay anything, and train with us,\u201d he enthused.<\/p>\n The icon further shared that even with his personal wealth that affords a private gym, the Austrian Oak still loves to visit public fitness floors for inspiration and comradery, and he wants to give that same gift to those who are on the breadline by welcoming them into his likeminded community.<\/p>\n Okay, sounds good, but what\u2019s the catch? Well, there really isn\u2019t one. \u201cIf you\u2019ve been laid off or are currently unemployed, you can join the Pump Club App for free, or pay what you can\u201d<\/a>, reads the terms of the official website. Indeed, for 30 days you won\u2019t even need to provide proof of unemployment. Then, when the initial 30 days are over, Arnold just asks for you to upload a document that proves your unemployment status. For that small task, you\u2019ll be granted a further 3 months, absolutely free. \u201cWhen that time\u2019s up, if you don\u2019t have a job yet, we are still here for you,\u201d promises the blurb.<\/p>\n One of the most valuable aspects of the Pump Club Fitness App, for the cash poor, is the ability to access clever workouts that require little to no equipment, so you can get by without a gym membership. The app also offer\u2019s access to Arnold\u2019s passionate community in order to stay inspired, educated, and accountable. In the Google Play store, the app has a 4.5 out of 5 rating and has a 4.6 out of 5-star rating in the Apple Store. \u201cThis is the best fitness app I\u2019ve used,\u201d wrote one reviewer, while others have praised the way that workouts are structured and logged. Among non-gym members, another user commented: \u201cAs someone who does not have (a) gym membership and does not own weights, I have found the bodyweight beginner program just what I need to start working out.\u201d<\/p>\n In addition to the \u201cNo worker left behind\u201d offer, the Pump Club App is also offering 50% cash back for everyone else, after completing the 6-month foundation course.
