NBA 2K22 Gatorade Workout: How to Get +4 Every Time
In NBA 2K22, the Gatorade Training Facility is back and remains a place that all players should be stepping into at least once a week if they haven't yet unlocked the Gym Rat Badge.
Aside from being able to buy stamina-boosting consumables, which heavily improve your ability to shoot and play defense in Rec/Pro-Am, the Gatorade gym allows players to complete their weekly workouts and earn a Turbo Boost that adds an extra section to your stamina meter. Here are the best drills to do for your weekly Gatorade Training Facility drills in NBA 2K22 MyCareer on Current Gen and Next Gen.

NBA 2K22 Gatorade Workout: How to Get +4 Every Time
Thankfully, on both the Current Gen and Next Gen versions of NBA 2K22, the Gatorade Training Facility workouts are exactly the same. Here are the best and easiest drills to do to get +3/4 in all five categories and secure the weekly Turbo Boost:
- Acceleration: Agility Ladder
- Speed: Treadmill
- Stamina: Medicine Ball
- Strength: Dumbbells
- Vertical: Box Jump or Leg Press
For Acceleration, the Agility Ladder is the easiest of the two in my opinion as you just have to press one of four buttons. Just like last year, it takes your best attempt of three, so once you get three or four stars, you're good to go.
The Treadmill is personally my toughest drill to consistently do as my fingers lock up after spamming the triggers, but ultimately it's the lesser of the two evils.
With Stamina, the Medicine Ball workout has always been my go-to pick. It might be tricky to get the timing down at first, but once you get it it's consistently easy to do.
In the Strength category, the Dumbbells drill is the easiest to do in the enitre Gatorade gym. Simply spam the A/X button then hit the triggers when they pop up. The timing window is very forgiving.
Lastly, while the Leg Press does have a cheesy method where you can just hold both of the sticks straight up, I prefer to do the Box Jump as it's more consistent.
If you ever are about to finish any of the drills without getting three or four stars, feel free to close the game's app as it won't save the result. If not, you'll have to wait until next week to try and get the Turbo Boost.
