Arnold Schwarzenegger spotted at a gym in Leeds

'Terminator' star told staff: 'I'll be back'

Arnold Schwarzenegger surprised staff this week by making an impromptu visit to a Leeds gym.

The Terminator star and former Governor of California, 70, visited the 1-RM training studio in the Yorkshire city on Wednesday evening (September 20). Schwarzenegger was in Leeds for a speaking event at a black tie dinner at the Royal Armouries.

Baljit Sahota, an employee at 1-RM, told Yorkshire Evening Post: “He was looking to train at a well-equipped private gym where he wouldn’t get hassled. He came and did his workout without any interruptions and seemed very happy with the gym and the general atmosphere.”
