The Ganton Gym is a gymnasium featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Description[]
Located in Ganton, Los Santos, the gym becomes accessible following a phone call from Sweet after the mission Drive-Thru. Carl Johnson can learn boxing moves at the gym, as well as use the other facilities to increase or decrease certain statistics, specifically stamina, muscle and fat.
Inside, there is a boxer punching a bag, who serves as the boxing trainer, and there are two other boxers training with each other in a boxing ring, with a spectator watching them.

Oversights[]
- There is a small unsolid section of ceiling right above the entrance inside the interior. One common use for the gym is the hole in the roof which allows access to Hidden Interiors Universe, which requires the player to kill everyone inside, spawn a jetpack through cheats/mods, and walking towards the door with the jetpack, allowing the player to fly into the Universe. Using this, the player can access several non-used interiors, even Liberty City, which is a left-over interior from the mission Saint Mark's Bistro.
- If you park a car with its front end touching the front door of the gym, and then walk into the marker to enter the gym, then, when inside, exit, the player will spawn inside the entrance box behind the front door of the gym, which is normally inaccessible. The player can get out, however, as the walls lack collision, and if they walk through them, they will fall into Blue Hell, and then spawn outside of the gym on the sidewalk.
Trivia[]
- In a beta screenshot, the boxer that the player can challenge had a much different appearance, wearing long pants and a bandana. He also just stood upright instead of punching the bag.
- In the same beta screenshot, one can see that the yellow posters around the room aren't there and there is a pedestrian walking around. This suggests there were going to be ordinary people in there as well as the boxers and the spectator.
- Its interior is actually located in Red County, close to Catalina's Hideout. If the player drops down from the Hidden Interiors Universe, a shovel can be found.
- The player can be damaged and eventually wasted if the heavy bag was pushed ends up hitting them repeatedly. The same can be done to the boxer.
- The boxers inside the boxing ring don't actually damage each other, although they can be killed by the player.
- Entering the boxing ring where the two boxers are training will result in both of them becoming hostile to the player. If the player leaves the boxing ring, they will return to their normal behaviour; however, if the player kills one of them, the remaining boxer will cower in fear.
- Firing a gun inside the gym will result in the boxing trainer and the spectator becoming hostile to the player; using one of the gym equipment or aiming a gun at any of them will make them return to their previous behavior. This doesn't seem to happen in any other gym.
- The radio station that plays inside this gym is Master Sounds 98.3.
