The Gym Formula — Demystified

Every gym session boils down to one formula. Understanding it tells you exactly where your gains come from — and where they don't. No guessing, no superstition.

The Formula

Gain = (Gym_Dots × 4) × (0.00019106 × Current_Stat
         + 0.00226263 × Happy + 0.55)
       × (1 + Steadfast + Education) / 150 × Energy

What each piece means

Gym_Dots

The quality rating of your current gym. Ranges from 2 dots (Premier Fitness) to 39 dots (Balboas Gym). This multiplies your entire gain linearly — switching from a 10-dot to a 20-dot gym literally doubles your output. Always train in the best gym you can access.

Current_Stat

The stat you're currently training (STR, DEF, SPD, or DEX). At low levels this barely registers. At high levels (100M+) it absolutely dominates everything else in the formula. The bigger your stat, the more it snowballs — large numbers grow faster in absolute terms.

Happy

Your current happiness value. It adds a flat additive bonus inside the formula. At low stats, happy can represent a significant chunk of your gains. At high stats, it becomes a rounding error. This is why happy jumping (taking Ecstasy to double happy before training) matters early and becomes irrelevant later.

Steadfast + Education

Percentage multipliers that stack additively. Steadfast is a Torn perk (up to +20%). Education courses can add up to +15%. These multiply your entire gain — a +35% total bonus means every session gives you 35% more stats. Worth maxing out whenever possible.

The Critical Insight

At high stat values, your trained stat completely dominates the formula. Once you hit 500M+, the stat component is so large that happy becomes a rounding error. Steadfast and education are still important because they're multiplierson the whole result — but happy's flat additive bonus becomes negligible.

This is why the happy contribution % (shown in results above) collapses to near zero at high stats — and why experienced players stop worrying about happy jumping.

TL;DR

  • Higher gym dots = proportionally higher gains — always train in the best gym available
  • At 500M+ stats, your stat value is 99.9%+ of the formula — everything else is noise
  • Happy, Steadfast, and Education are multipliers on top of your base gain
