11Overview22Muscle Beach is a free, open-air gym located along the coastline of Bliss Bay, one of the two starting cities in inZOI. Situated next to the Beach Volleyball Court on the west side of the Bliss Bay map, it is the primary outdoor fitness venue in the region. The gym is enclosed by a fence and has a range of strength-training equipment that Zois can use at any hour, completely free of charge.44Muscle Beach is one of two public outdoor gyms in inZOI, the other being Harang River Park in Dowon. While Harang River Park leans toward cardio equipment and a riverside setting, Muscle Beach focuses on heavy strength-training gear and benefits from its beachfront location near several recreational activities.66How to Find Muscle Beach88If you chose Bliss Bay as your starting city, finding Muscle Beach is straightforward:1010Open the map by pressing M.Look for the Beach Volleyball Court marker on the west side of the map.Fast travel to the Beach Volleyball Court.Once you arrive, walk toward the beach area and look for a fenced enclosure near the basketball court.

Because it is a public community lot, there is no entry fee and no time restrictions.1414Available Equipment1616Muscle Beach is outfitted with several pieces of gym equipment geared toward strength training.

The Fitness skill is available from the Teenager life stage through Senior. As your Zoi's Fitness level rises, you will notice improved stamina, visible muscle definition on the Zoi's body, and access to new activities.2525Reaching Fitness Level 3, for example, unlocks the ability to go surfing at Bliss Bay. Higher Fitness levels also open up fitness-related competitions. Because Muscle Beach equipment focuses on heavy strength training, it is one of the fastest ways to gain Fitness experience in the game.2727Keep in mind that intense workouts burn through your Zoi's Energy and Hunger needs quickly. It is a good idea to bring food or grab a protein shake from the nearby vending machine between sets.2929Nearby Activities3131Muscle Beach sits at the heart of Bliss Bay's recreational coastline. Several other activities are within walking distance, making it easy to combine a workout with other leisure options.3333ActivityLocationNotesBeach VolleyballBeach Volleyball Court (adjacent)Interact with the volleyball net to join a game.

Each protein shake costs 4 Meow Coins. Drinking a protein shake helps restore a Zoi's Hunger need, which is useful after an intense workout session that drains both Energy and Hunger.3838Zois can also develop an urge for a protein shake, which is tied to their Safety need. Satisfying this urge by purchasing and drinking a shake rewards a small amount of Meow Coins and restores the Zoi's comfort. If you prefer to have protein shakes available at home, you can purchase a glass-door beverage vending machine from the Build Menu and place it on your own lot.4040Social Aspects4242Because Muscle Beach is a public community lot, other Zois from the neighborhood visit regularly to work out. This makes it a natural spot to meet new people and build relationships. You can strike up conversations between workout sets, and exercising alongside other Zois may trigger social interactions.4444The surrounding area adds to the social draw. The basketball court and Beach Volleyball Court are both group activities, and the boardwalk area brings foot traffic throughout the day. For Zois who want to combine socializing with fitness, Muscle Beach offers a more lively atmosphere than working out alone at a home gym.4646Comparison with Harang River Park4848InZOI has two public outdoor gyms, and each caters to a slightly different workout style.5050FeatureMuscle Beach (Bliss Bay)Harang River Park (Dowon)FocusStrength trainingCardio and mixed exerciseEquipmentSquat racks, bench presses, pull-down machines, free weightsAir Swing, Cross Country machines, dumbbells, yoga matsSettingBeachfront, fenced area near boardwalkRiverside green lane with park viewsNearby RecreationBasketball court, beach volleyball, surfingWalking paths, cycling, river sceneryVending MachineProtein shake vending machine on siteNot documentedCostFreeFreeHours24/724/75252Players who chose Bliss Bay will naturally use Muscle Beach, while Dowon residents will gravitate toward Harang River Park. Both locations are fully free and open around the clock, and both contribute equally to the Fitness skill. The main difference is the type of equipment and the surrounding scenery.5353Tips5555Muscle Beach is open 24 hours a day and costs nothing to use, making it ideal for Zois on a tight budget.Weight machines give the highest Fitness experience per session, so prioritize the squat rack and bench press if you want to level up quickly.Bring snacks or use the protein shake vending machine (4 Meow Coins) to manage Hunger during long workout sessions.Combine a Muscle Beach workout with a round of beach volleyball or basketball nearby for a full day of activity that builds Fitness and Fun at the same time.If you want gym equipment at home, you can purchase items like a squat rack (271 Meow) or a treadmill (4,100 Meow) through Build Mode under Furniture > Hobby > Fitness.You can edit the Muscle Beach community lot in Build Mode to add or rearrange equipment without spending Meow Coins, since community lots allow free furnishing.5757Location5959Muscle Beach sits along Bliss Bay's coastal promenade, near the beach and boardwalk areas. Its location reflects Bliss Bay's Southern California-inspired design, where outdoor recreation is woven into the cityscape. The venue is accessible on foot from the nearby beach areas, by car, or through the city's transportation system.6161The outdoor setting means Muscle Beach is exposed to the game's weather system. Zois working out during clear weather will have the most enjoyable experience, while rain or extreme conditions may dampen the mood (though the equipment remains usable).6464Fitness Equipment6666The gym area has a range of outdoor fitness equipment designed for strength training and general exercise:6868EquipmentActivitySkill ContributionWeight BenchesBench press and weight liftingFitness skill (strength-focused)Pull-Up BarsPull-ups, chin-ups, and hanging exercisesFitness skill (upper body)Exercise MachinesVarious resistance and cardio exercisesFitness skill (general)7070Using any of the available equipment contributes experience toward the Fitness skill. The Fitness skill affects a Zoi's physical capabilities and can unlock new interactions and activities. Regular workouts at Muscle Beach are one of the most straightforward ways to level up Fitness, especially for Zois who do not have exercise equipment installed at home.7171Basketball Court7373Adjacent to the gym area, Muscle Beach includes a basketball court where Zois can play pickup games. Basketball is a sports activity that combines Fitness skill development with social interaction, as Zois can play together in informal matches. The court is open to anyone and does not require scheduling or team formation.7575Playing basketball provides a more dynamic alternative to the repetitive nature of weight training. It engages both the Fitness skill and the Fun need, making it a well-rounded activity for Zois who want to stay active without it feeling like a chore.7777Need Fulfillment7979NeedEffectFunModerate increase. Outdoor exercise in a scenic location is inherently enjoyable.SocialLow to moderate. Increases when working out alongside other Zois or playing basketball.HygieneDecreases. Workouts make Zois sweaty. Plan to shower afterward.EnergyDecreases with extended exercise. Manage workout duration to avoid exhaustion.8181The Fitness skill gains are the primary draw, but the Fun need boost from working out in a beautiful beachside environment is a nice bonus. Keep in mind that exercise drains both Energy and Hygiene, so Zois should shower and rest after an intense session.8282Social Interactions8484Muscle Beach attracts fitness-oriented Zois, making it a natural spot to meet residents who share an interest in physical activity. Working out near other Zois can lead to spontaneous conversations, and the basketball court provides structured social interaction through gameplay. For Zois looking to build relationships with athletic or outdoorsy types, Muscle Beach is a productive hangout spot.8686The venue works well as an active date location, too. Instead of a traditional dinner-and-drinks date, bringing a romantic interest to Muscle Beach for a workout session or basketball game offers a more unique and energetic bonding experience.
