Bodybuilding legend Arnold Schwarzenegger is one of the biggest legends that the sport has ever witnessed. Creating a legacy for himself over the years through his phenomenal Mr. Olympia performances, the star didn't leave any opportunities that knocked on his door.
As the bodybuilding icon recently turned 77, he received countless birthday wishes from friends, family, as well as his fans. While unwrapping multiple gifts might have consumed a lot of 'The Austrian Oak's time today, he still managed to provide a special birthday gift to his fans.
Arnold Schwarzenegger publishes a daily newsletter for his fans which is named 'Arnold's Pump Club'. Proud owner of this fitness community, Arnold Schwarzenegger often rolls out attractive discounts and merchandise for his subscribers who he lovingly refers to as his 'villagers'.
In a recent social media post, Arnold Schwarzenegger acknowledged the messages that he receives daily from the people who are a part of his fitness community and thank him for helping them transform their physiques. In an attempt to grow his village further, Schwarzenegger came up with a wise plan and wrote on his X handle:
"For my birthday, I told the team to cut the price of a yearly membership by more than 20% this week — and we added more than $100 in bonuses when you sign up for the annual plan."
"I’ve heard thousands and thousands of success stories. But I want to hear billions. That’s the goal of my fitness crusade. So this week, come check out what we’ve built. Track some habits, try our training programs that have helped people at every level, and chime in with the community to find thousands of training partners. It’s my birthday gift to all of you."
Arnold Schwarzenegger takes a look back in time
The long and elaborative message also saw Arnold pointing out that despite him wanting to help people achieve their fitness goals, he didn't expect that his help could influence so many lives on a daily basis. He wrote in his X post attached above:
"You give people a community so they know they aren’t alone and they’re surrounded by other people trying to be better every day. But you don’t expect so many people to tell you that this app and community actually saved their lives. When some of the members sent me a surprise video they made for me and shared their success, I was proud."
Reminiscing about his late friend, Arnold Schwarzenegger also stated that it was the people's hard work that transformed them and not the tools he provided. He mentioned:
"We just provided the tool. I know from my time working construction with Franco that the tools don’t work unless you do. And I wanted to make sure that our tool — the Pump app — is available to everyone."
Despite his retirement from the sport decades ago, Arnold Schwarzenegger remains an essential part of the bodybuilding world. His efforts to improve the sport and his dedication to helping others is truly remarkable.
