Fitness, for GritCult, is never about aesthetics first. It's the base layer underneath discipline, mental health and self-worth, and in 2026 he went as far as telling men to treat the gym like prayer.
Views
In 2026 the framing turned explicitly spiritual: the gym isn't discipline, it's the easiest form of self-worship, a way of sculpting the vessel God gave a man, to be treated like prayer [1]. It is a late line rather than a constant one, and it sits awkwardly with 2023, when he insisted that prayer's sole purpose is to bring a man closer to God and that calling the gym a temple is blasphemy [2]. His more durable case is practical: going to the gym consistently was one of his highest-ROI decisions, good for health, ageing, mental health, stress tolerance and neuroprotection, with the mindset shift the biggest win of all [3].
He's cynical about who actually shows up at off-peak hours: retired roid heads, entrepreneurs with their own business, drug dealers, guys just out of jail, OnlyFans models [4]. The joke doubles as an observation about who has genuinely escaped the 9-to-5 script. His gym etiquette is a joke in the same register: leave women at the gym alone, don't talk to them, don't look at them, don't help them even if a 120kg dumbbell is falling on them [5], deadpan hyperbole whose punchline is don't be a simp.
The compounding argument is habit-based. A few days off and the body starts feeling wrong immediately, because a life and a body are the result of accumulated decisions [6]. He applies the same logic to hustle memory: consistency builds a kind of muscle memory for showing up at all [7]. The full stack, in his words: go gym, eat meat, drink milk, lift weights, read books, socialise, start a business [8]. It is an entire operating system disguised as a to-do list.
Recurring themes
- the gym as prayer, a 2026 framing at odds with 2023
- training as the highest-ROI decision available
- off-peak gym attendance as a tell for who's actually free
- consistency as compounding, body as ledger
- training folded into a full daily operating system
