‘Senior’s Day, Gold’s Gym’: RFK Jr shares workout snap with Arnold Schwarzenegger in Venice Beach

His bizarre video workout with Kid Rock apparently wasn't enough, so Robert F. Kennedy packed up his game and headed out west to exercise with the Terminator.

The 72-year-old secretary of Health and Human Services posted a selfie on social media that shows him posing with former California governor and action-movie star Arnold Schwarzenegger, 78, in a large room full of workout gear.

"Senior's Day, Gold's Gym in Venice," Kennedy wrote Thursday, albeit with a misplaced apostrophe.

The two men have been friends for years and were once related through Schwarzenegger's marriage to Kennedy's cousin, Maria Shriver. It ended in divorce.

Last year, a paparazzi video captured the men leaving the same gym with bodybuilder Ralf Moeller.

Kennedy, a leading vaccine skeptic who’s in charge of the Trump administration's "Make America Healthy Again" initiative, made headlines in February when HHS posted a video montage of him working out with Kid Rock in the rapper's home gym in his sprawling mansion outside Nashville.

It included segments that show a shirtless Kennedy wearing blue jeans and no shoes while furiously pedaling a stationary bicycle and submerging himself in a cold plunge tub.

During an April appearance before the House Ways and Means Committee, Rep. Linda Sanchez, D-Calif., accused Kennedy of suspending a "pro-vaccine messaging campaign" while "spending taxpayer dollars to drink milk shirtless in a hot tub with Kid Rock.”

"And somehow you think that's a better public health message," she said.

Kennedy shot back, “You’ve got a lot of misinformation there.”

Last year, Kennedy also appeared in videos that show him doing pull-ups with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.

Schwarzenegger, a moderate Republican who's publicly opposed President Donald Trump and endorsed his 2024 rival, then-Vice President Kamala Harris, last year said of Kennedy: "I don't agree with everything policy-wise, but I like him as a human being. I mean, he's fantastic."

"So when I ran as a Republican and a Democrat like Bobby Kennedy helps me, I said to myself that I should always be there for him. No matter if I believe in everything that he does or not, I will always support him," he told TV and radio host Andy Cohen, according to USA Today.
