Schwarzenegger Goes Undercover At Venice’s Gold’s Gym

Arnold Schwarzenegger wore a disguise and gave members workout tips to raise awareness for an after school program.

Donning a baseball cap, fake ponytail and mustache, Arnold Schwarzenegger headed to Gold’s Gym in Venice and offered workout tips to members, most of who saw through his disguise.

The prank (captured on video) was all part of Schwarzenegger’s efforts to raise awareness and funds for the After-School All-Stars, a nationwide program that provides free mentorship, homework help, tutoring and activities to students from low-income families.

However, not everyone could identify the former California governor. One woman swore he looked familiar, but Arnie responded, “Maybe you've seen me on an FBI Most Wanted list."
