If your tired of going to the gym every week in NBA 2K20’s MyCareer like I am, then you are in the right place! There is a way around having to do those exercise mini-games and YES! you will get to permanently keep the boosts that you would normally get. There are two ways to unlock the Gym Rat Badge and don’t worry, both will be covered. Let’s get started.

What is the Gym Rat Badge and Why do I want it?

The Gym Rat badge is a personality badge that replaces having to go do the weekly exercises in the neighborhood gym. If you are new to NBA 2K you may be wondering why you would go to the gym in the first place. By going to the gym and completing a series of exercises your MyPlayer will get stat boosts that last for one week. For each exercise, you will receive a grade based on how well you do. The grade that you receive determines how much of a boost you will get in each category. With the Gym Rat Badge, you will no longer need to do this. The boosts will be applied permanently.

For each of your characters you will have a permanent boost to your MyPlayer’s Speed, Stamina, Strength, Vertical, and Acceleration. So it is obvious why you would want to get the Gym Rat Badge as fast as possible unless of course you really enjoy going to the gym.

What do I need to do to unlock the GYM Rat Badge?

There are two ways that you are able to unlock this badge.

  1. By playing and completing a full MyCareer season of at least 55 games you can unlock this badge only for the one specific player that you were using for that season. You must also WIN the championship.
  2. If you are a fan of the Neighborhood. then this is the method for you. Players, must get their MyPlayer to a MyRep level of Superstar 3 to unlock this badge. The great thing about this method is that the Gym Rat badge will be unlocked for all of your MyPlayers instead of just one. You also get a few additional prizes as well!
