How to mentor fitness in The Sims 4 explained

Details on The Sims 5 are still sketchy, but that’s just fine – because The Sims 4, even though it’s been out for almost a decade, has so much to offer that we doubt you’ve rinsed it all.

Whether it be cheats, mods or expansions (new ones are still being released!), there’s plenty to explore with your virtual Sims.

There might be a few jobs that you didn’t know about, too.

For example, did you know that you could become a mentor in the fitness world? If your friend is working out and you’re at a higher fitness level, you can mentor them.

If you want your Sim to be the next Joe Wicks, but don’t know how to go about it, fear not.

How to mentor fitness in The Sims 4 explained

First things first, you need to be on the Athletics career, as either a bodybuilder or professional athlete.

Make sure your traits are tailored to this career, because you’ll need to have a level 10 fitness skill in order to be a mentor.

You’ll also need to be friends with whoever it is that you want to mentor, and their fitness skill level must be lower than yours. So bear that in mind if the option isn’t coming up!

You don’t have to be in the gym to do this job. It can be done in your own home, or anywhere one of your friends is working out on any piece of fitness equipment.

Don’t forget that you’ll need to have purchased the Mentor trait from the aspirations reward store!

It costs 1,000 reward points, but it’s a one-off purchase. Once you have it, you can mentor in other areas too. Not just fitness.
