The Mighty Gym is a Structure in Don't Starve Together exclusive to Wolfgang. It can be crafted from his Survivor Items Filter and requires 4 Boards, 2 Cut Stone, and 3 Rope to craft, and a Science Machine to prototype. Its function is to increase Wolfgang's mightiness.

When the player enters the gym to start training, a minigame begins. A “bell” on the meter at the base of the structure starts moving, and the player must click when the bell is at the center of the meter to increase their mightiness. If the player clicks when the bell is at the borders (black), the weights will fall, and Wolfgang won’t gain any might. Additionally, the player’s rate of Hunger loss increases significantly during the minigame, especially when using heavier weights.

Gym Weights

When built, the Mighty Gym's weights appear with Potato Sacks that can be unloaded and replaced for heavy items. Check the values below:

Value	Item
1
2
3
4

*The material used to craft the Chess Pieces does not affect its weight.

Loaded Gym

The difficulty, hunger drain, and resulting Might gain of a successful lift scale with the total weight of the objects placed. The might increase depends on the section (color) that was hit during the lift. There are four sections: Black (nothing), Orange (4), Yellow (6.67) and White (10).

Total Weight	Better Section	Might Gain per Lift	Hunger Drain
2 to 3	Orange	4	4x
4 to 6	Yellow	6.67	11x
7 to 8	White	10	22x

The hunger drain will be applied even if the player is idle.

Trivia

• The Mighty Gym was added as part of Wolgang's Character Refresh Update.
• Its efficiency was improved in the March 2022 QoL update.

Bugs

• Some Chess pieces not made from Marble appear invisible when placed on the Mighty Gym.
• When Wolfgang changes from one phase to another while using the Mighty Gym, a second bell rendering appears on the very left of the meter, which does not move, and disappears when exiting the structure. This is purely visual and does not affect lifting.
• When placing the Mighty Gym near a body of water, dismounting will sometimes cause Wolfgang to jump in and suffer the drowning penalty of losing 25% of their max health (similar to when being ressurected by Telltale Heart), -25 Hunger, -25 Sanity, gain 100% Wetness and drop half of their inventory slots into the water.
