Arnold Schwarzenegger has cemented a strong legacy in Hollywood with his acting career. Thanks to his blood, sweat, and tears, he has become one of the most influential personalities in the world, which has also brought his family into the spotlight. Other than his acting portfolio, he’s well-recognized for his bodybuilding career which he pursued before entering the glam world.
His passion for staying fit continues to stay persistent even now as the actor flaunts a muscular physique, which would surprise anyone. However, it is all thanks to his determination and perseverance that brought those results, as per his son, Patrick.
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Son Got Candid About His Father’s Fitness Goals
Given that the actor has been serious about his fitness, he has inculcated the same passion into his children. The Terminator star shares four children with ex-wife, Maria Shriver: Katherine, Christina, Patrick, and Christopher. He is also the father of son Joseph Baena, with his longtime housekeeper Mildred Patricia Baena.
Patrick, who has been following his father’s footsteps in the acting industry, reflected on what fitness means to him in a 2021 GQ interview. He shared that Arnold Schwarzenegger was the one who “definitely introduced me to fitness and made me love it.”
He shared how his father pushed him to work out.
“It really is part of my DNA and my daily routine. My dad really got me onto the idea of working out, but it’s been myself that’s focused and wanted to get to different levels of my training to become better. Because it just helps me in so many other categories. If you don’t slack off in the gym, you find ways to not slack off in other parts of your life.
Given that each of the father-son duo is a fitness freak, when asked who is more fit, he didn’t shy away from flaunting his father’s incredible physique. “He’s 73 and he can still lift more than I can.”
While the actor has given quite a candid confession that is difficult to attain given Arnie’s age, Patrick Schwarzenegger is curating his own path. He made an appearance on Shark Tank with his mother to present their protein bar venture, MOSH.

The mother-son duo asked for $500,000 for a 2% stake in their company. While the other sharks couldn’t get on board with their proposal, Greiner negotiated to offer the same amount with a stake of 4.5% in the company.
MOSH, a protein bar venture, offers a variety of flavors including lemon white chocolate, banana bread, cookie dough crunch, and peanut butter chocolate. It’s more than a business for Shriver as she told PEOPLE,
“I wanted to start a protein bar that had a mission and a purpose, which was to get people thinking about their brains, thinking about what they put into their mouth, and thinking about how to live a lifestyle that when you get to my age, you’ve done all you can to try to prevent neurological disease. And that’s why I’m proud of MOSH’s success.”
In addition to being healthy, it also aids the Women’s Alzheimer’s Movement at the Cleveland Clinic to fund research for the disease. Not just Patrick, but all of her children are heavily involved in curating this healthy brand which not only helps one nutritionally but also does good to the world.
