Gym timeout is "stuck"

[Beamboom]

I can no longer work out at the gyms: When I enter a gym, the game give the "enough workout for today - come back later" message no matter how many days I wait until I try again. It seems to me that the "gym timer" is somehow broken.

 

To my surprise I cant find this bug mentioned anywhere in this forum. Anyone else experienced this?

 

And more important: Any suggestions as to how I could fix it?

It's a common problem, but for some unknown (by me) reason the pinned topic about it and the other major glitches is in the Gameplay forum rather than Troubleshooting. Check it out here. The first post provides some potential remedies, although it can be a lengthy process.

Ahhh - thanks alot, pdescobar. I only searched through the troubleshoot forum.

Now I've tried the "save repeatedly, change style and weigth"-tip, but to no success.

 

I find it pretty amazing that there isnt made a fix by Rockstar, if this is a rather common bug. Oh well, it could be worse. Working out never was much fun anyways.

try to WAIT for 24 minutes (1 in game day), then go to the gym again.

the 6 hrs advancement given when u save ur game doesn't seems to add to the gym counter.

Rockstar aren't quite good at putting out alot of updates. The only patch for SA is 1.01 and even that came out only because of Hot Coffee. (and also some other fixes). But they should make fixes for SA once a month. It cant be that hard. Imagine what a great game it would become after a few patches. Or even extra misions, clothes, songs on the radio, etc, etc, etc,..But offcourse that will newer happen. Its just not Rockstars style.

oh i got that glitch too i think if you atack people in the gyms too much or if you cj is hungry like when it says you feel hungry and all you do is save instead of eating food you get that glitch too because it said that in some other website. its the same as the "basketball glitch" which you cannot find anymore basketballs in any court. well i dont know how to solve it i just made i new profile. i was also in the "END OF THE LINE" mission which was the very last mission in the game but then experienced the gym glitch so i got pissed that i had to make a new profile

Yay its working again! I'm not sure why, maybe its as simple as your advise lolo603 (wait 24 minutes) though I do think it took longer than that to get fat and change looks in the first place.

But for whatever it may be worth to others that may get into the same trouble as me later on, heres what I did after the "get fat and change looks"-routine:

 

Desperate to loose weight I simply started swimming. A long distance, diving as much as possible to burn fat (I even found an oyster I hadnt discovered earlier). When I grew tired of that I got myself a BMX and biked from town to town (and, no kidding, then I found a new spraytag too). When heading for the first safehouse to get me a spraycan I passed a gym and went inside to see if things were working again: Yay'n'hooray, it did.

 

So it IS possible to fix this problem without starting over.

 

Thanks for your input and help guys!
