Running a Gym
Run one of the city gyms - set pass prices, stock supplements, train members and host fight nights.
The city's paid gyms - Pump & Run, Paleto Bay Gym and La Mesa Strength & Conditioning - can each be run by a player Gym business. Until someone owns a gym, the city runs it with an NPC receptionist at default prices.
As the owner you set the membership pass prices, stock the front desk with supplements, hire trainers who boost members' gains, and host fight nights in the ring.
This guide is for owners and staff. For training as a member, see Gym & Fitness.
Before you begin
- A Gym business. The city gyms already exist as businesses without an owner, and staff hand them out. Ask in a Discord ticket. The basics are in Owning a Business.
- Ranks: Front desk, Trainer, Head trainer, Manager and Owner. Manager and Owner are boss ranks.
- Money in the business balance to order supplements.
Setting up your gym
- Go inside your gym and type
/bizofficeto place your office computer, then sign in. - Locations → Front desk: stand behind the counter and place it. It must be inside one of the city gyms - that links your business to that gym. The receptionist moves to your desk.
- Locations → Boxing ring (optional): stand in the middle of the ring and place it.
- Open the Gym page to check everything is linked.
The gym machines are part of the building. You can't add, move or remove them - the Gym page lists them read-only.
The Gym page
- Numbers: active members, passes sold, gym income and fight cuts over the last 7 days.
- Membership passes: set the price of the Day, Week and Month pass, inside the limits the city allows.
- Front desk: set the price of each supplement and see how many are on the shelf.
- Members: everyone with an active pass and when it runs out.
- Recent fights: who fought, who won and your cut.
Stocking the front desk
At an owned gym, customers can only buy supplements you have put on the shelf.
- Order
Protein Shake,
Pre-Workout and
Hydro Mix Electrolytes on the Orders tab (paid from the balance) and bring them in with a supply run.
- Take them from the stock room into your pockets.
- Gym page → Put supplements from my pockets on the shelf.
When a supplement hits 0, customers can't buy it until you restock. On-duty police and EMS can always take a free Drug Test Kit at the desk, which costs you nothing.
Working as a trainer
- Go on duty.
- Stand next to someone who is working out (within about 6 metres).
- Their gains get a boost while you are there. You see a note when someone finishes a set with you - a good moment to sell personal training.
Hosting a fight night
- Stand in the ring, use ← / → to pick Open / close the ring for fights and press E.
- While the ring is open, fighters sign up and the crowd bets. How fights work is in Gym & Fitness.
- The gym keeps a cut of the betting pot.
- Close the ring again to stop sign-ups.

Common problems
- The receptionist didn't move to your desk - your Front desk isn't inside one of the city gyms. Place it again behind the counter inside the building.
- Customers can't buy a supplement - the shelf is empty. Restock it from your pockets on the Gym page.
- The ring option doesn't show - you need the Boxing ring placed, the host permission and to be standing in the ring.
- Trainer boost isn't working - you must be on duty, have the trainer permission and stand close to the person.
- Can't change prices - your rank doesn't have the price permission, or the price is outside the city's limits.
Thanks! Staff will look at it.
