How Character Lifestyles Work in GTA 6

Jason and Lucia can gain weight by eating too much, and eventually, they could become overweight. Muscle density can also be reduced if players stop maintaining it. If players want to keep on top of Jason and Lucia's physique, they can go to the gym.

Jason and Lucia can work out together at the gym - they can even work out alongside each other. If they are romantically involved, working out together can also function as a date and improve their relationship.

TGG noted that before using the gym, Jason and Lucia needed to sign up for a membership first. Stamina drains throughout each set, and three exercises are needed to complete a daily workout. Working out serves as a mini-activity, with weightlifting requiring you to use L2 and R2 to control movement.

The gyms are decked out with different equipment, including bench presses, lat pulldowns, treadmills, punching bags, and squats. You can use the changing rooms to change clothes, and besides gyms, you can also play basketball, swim, and go kayaking to improve fitness levels.

If you're running out of stamina, you can consume energy drinks or coffee to get a temporary boost. However, one thing you shouldn't neglect is sleep. GTA 6 tracks the sleep quality of Jason and Lucia, and going too long without sleep can result in slower regeneration and visible bags under the characters' eyes.

GTA 6 launches on November 19, 2026. Will you be prioritizing Jason and Lucia's physical wellbeing?
