An Inside Look at Where John Leslie Eats, Sleeps... And Trains

Werner Beukes
Welcome To The Terminator's Office

WALKING AROUND THE HOME OF JOHN LESLIE CAN BE HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH. THE MAN FANS HAVE DUBBED THE TERMINATOR HAS TURNED HIS BRENTWOOD PARK HOME INTO A FULLY EQUIPPED GYM WITH TOOLS OF THE TRADE STACKED IN EACH AND EVERY ROOM. You might trip over an abductor machine on your way to the bathroom, for example, or bump your toe on a treadmill in the TV room, or knock your head on a squat rack if you’re lost in thought and don’t look where you’re going!

John’s obsession nowadays is not to get any bigger, but to get as freakishly ripped as possible. And for that he needs to train when he wants, be it early mornings, in the middle of the day, or late at night, or a combination of all three! Muscle Evolution paid a visit to The Terminator’s Office to find out more about his extraordinary digs.

John, isn't this taking the phrase 'home gym' too far?

Training has always been a way of life for me and I'm the first to admit that I am a little OCD about it, but I think any bodybuilder who's aspiring to look a certain way has to be obsessive about it. I started training in a wendy house in my backyard with only a bench, barbell and a dumbbell set. So this seems like a natural progression.

What was your first real piece of equipment?
