One of the major additions in Grand Theft Auto San Andreas was the inclusion of gyms, which allowed players to gain muscle and bulk up and teach them new fighting moves. This guide will show you how to learn these new fighting styles in GTA San Andreas, so you have an edge in combat.
Carl can learn many different fighting styles in San Andreas, which can improve the way he fights and his physical stats. To learn these fighting styles, CJ first must hit the gym and gain at least 35% of muscle. There are 4 machines he can choose to work out on, and we will be telling you about them in detail.
The Treadmill
The treadmill can be used if CJ wants to increase his Stamina and shed Fat. The player must keep running and maintain the power gauge level until the exercise ends. The higher your stamina, the easier this workout becomes.
You can adjust the treadmill at 10 different speed levels, with the higher levels offering more gains. Use this to prepare for learning the fighting styles in GTA San Andreas.
The Stationary Bicycle
Like the treadmill, you can have CJ train on the Stationary Bicycle to Shed extra fat and gain Stamina. You can adjust the intensity of this workout at 10 different speed levels.
Bench Press
CJ can train on the bench press to gain muscle and shed fat. Your objective here is to fill the power gauge and complete reps.
Dumbbells
Dumbbells also increase CJ’s muscle mass and help him shed any extra fat. You can adjust the weight of these dumbbells between 10 and 50kg.
Once CJ gains 35% muscle, he can continue learning new fighting styles.
How to Learn New Fighting Styles
After gaining 35% muscle, CJ can interact with any trainer in the gyms in GTA: SA to start learning that style. If you have a specific style in your mind, then head to the gym, which offers teaching that fighting moves, and then you can learn it.
It is presented to you in a very easy way. Screen prompts help you understand how the moves work, and then you need to defeat the trainer to successfully learn the style.

Can you use all Fighting Styles at once?
