How to Get the Gym Rat Badge

The Gym Rat badge is an unlockable badge in which you will get +4 to your Speed, Acceleration, Vertical, Strength, and Stamina. It can be unlocked through the following methods:

On Current Gen: You will need to complete the Mamba Mentality quest first, but afterwards you will need to talk to the NPC in front of the Gatorade Facility. He will give you a quest.

The “Addicted to Sweat” quest requires you to complete 50 exercises in the gym. You can also win a championship for your MyCareer team while playing 50+ games and get the Gym Rat Badge.

On Next Gen: You will get a Quest to talk to the Gatorade Rep. This will unlock the mission to get the Gym Rat badge, which includes 25 3-star exercises. This should take at least 5 weeks to unlock.

    I won the championship my first season. I only play 37 games. Can I make up the games next season and not win the championship?

      No, you need to play 55 games and win the championship in the same season.

        You just have to play 55 regular season games. The playoffs technically counts because you have to win the championship

    You still get the badge if you only play 40 games and win the championship, you don’t need to go to 55. I’ve done 40 on two different builds, won the ship, and still got Gym Rat on both.

    Will your 55 games count if you only played till the 3rd quarter? Or you have to play the whole game from quarter 1-4?
