Profile

Persona 5

Home Training

The protagonist training at Leblanc (first stage.)

The protagonist is able to train at Café Leblanc, by suspending from one of the beams in the attic. It can be accessed by interacting with the chair between the desk and bed. The protagonist is required to clean the attic beforehand (which can be done from April 18 onwards). When he walks up to his attic the first time after doing this, Morgana will prompt him with the idea to use his chair and the ceiling beam to train.

When performing the activity, time passes. Initially, he is granted an HP boost, and with every four visits, the total grows. This applies for four stages separated by four visits. However, on every last fourth training, the protagonist only gains 1 HP, with every visit after finishing the final stage doing the same.

During the daytime on holidays, the protagonist has the option to train at home a second time. The second time is counted as an individual visit, as such the progression of the activity is sped up like usual. For example, should the protagonist perform the activity on his 3rd visit, doing it a second time will also count it as his 4th.

Visits	Benefits	Stage
1st to 3rd	5 HP	First Stage
4th	1 HP
5th to 7th	6 HP	Second Stage
8th	1 HP
9th to 11th	7 HP	Third Stage
12th	1 HP
13th to 15th	8 HP	Fourth Stage
16th and after	1 HP

Gym Training

"Here we are... Protein Lovers gym! It's pay per visit, so you don't gotta worry about any bullshit contracts or nothing. The equipment's kinda crappy, but they got tons of variety. Plus, it's real damn cheap. Totally worth, even without a pool or hot tub."

—Ryuji Sakamoto, Persona 5

The protagonist is able train at Protein Lovers Gym in Shibuya for a fee of 2,000 yen per visit once the protagonist advances either Ryuji Sakamoto's Confidant to Rank 5 or Ann Takamaki's Confidant to Rank 8. The system is similar to training at home; however, he is able to boost his SP as well.

Visits	Benefits	Stage
1st to 3rd	3 HP; 2 SP	First Stage
4th	1 HP; 1 SP
5th to 7th	5 HP; 3 SP	Second Stage
8th	1 HP; 1 SP
9th to 11th	7 HP; 5 SP	Third Stage
12th	1 HP; 1 SP
13th to 15th	9 HP; 7 SP	Fourth Stage
16th and after	1 HP; 1 SP

Protein

Drinking a protein items before a training session boosts the efficiency of the protagonist's training. For each training session, the protagonist is able to consume a single bottle of protein of his choice, which adds on to the total result of his training.

During days off while training at home, protein items are only active for a single session, and a separate bottle needs to be taken for its effects to apply in the second training.

Moist Protein is only available during rainy weather, and only 1 can be bought at a time.

Persona 5 Royal

Home Training

In Persona 5 Royal, the system has been simplified, where the protagonist's HP gain no longer goes down over time. Instead, the four visits in each stage all share a value, and the 16th visit and after is the same as the final stage. Home Training can now also be done on days with restricted evening free time, though it will still be unavailable on some of these days (usually when the protagonist has visited the Metaverse during that day for plot reasons).

Visits	Benefits	Stage
1st to 4th	5 HP	First Stage
5th to 8th	6 HP	Second Stage
9th to 12th	7 HP	Third Stage
13th to 15th	8 HP	Fourth Stage
16th and after	8 HP	Fifth stage

In Royal, stat boosts from training are passed down in New Game Plus.

Gym Training

Just like with Home Training, in Persona 5 Royal, the Gym Training system has been simplified, removing HP and SP drops in the results of certain visits.

Visits	Benefits	Stage
1st to 4th	3 HP; 2 SP	First Stage
5th to 8th	5 HP; 3 SP	Second Stage
9th to 12th	7 HP; 5 SP	Third Stage
13th to 15th	9 HP; 7 SP	Fourth Stage
16th and after	9 HP; 7 SP	Fifth stage

Like with training at home, stat boosts are passed down to NG+ in Royal.

Protein

Persona 5 Royal's protein system has been modified. In addition to the normal and Moist Protein, a third, new Imported Protein has been added, which first becomes available on June 5th. Only 1 Imported Protein can be bought every month, and it restocks on the 1st.

Gym Training (Japanese)

The protagonist fatigued after training at Leblanc.

Quotes

General

"A sports gym, huh? It's admirable that you want to train, but to go so far as to pay money to do it? Why not just train in your room? That's more economical."

—Morgana when the protagonist hasn't unlocked the gym, Persona 5

Home Training

"Without further ado, let's begin your training!"

—Morgana, starting home training for the first time, Persona 5

"All right, let's do this. Let's see your fighting spirit!"

—Morgana, starting home training second time onward, Persona 5

"All right, let's begin the workout."

—Morgana, Persona 5

"All right, you can do this! Clear your mind and focus on your center! Don't give up! Push past your limit!"

—Morgana mid-training, first stage, Persona 5

"Wow, that's a good pace! Keep it up! Don't give up! Push past your limit!"

—Morgana mid-training, second stage, Persona 5

"Ignore my heaviness! The weight is all in your mind! ...*snicker* This is more fun than I thought."

—Morgana mid-training, third stage, Persona 5

"I have nothing more to say... Pick your own pace, and work hard."

—Morgana mid-training, fourth stage, Persona 5

"Hey, are you all right? You haven't built much muscle, so don't push yourself."

—Morgana post-training, first time, first stage, Persona 5

"Good job. Let's keep up the good work!"

"Looks like your training has lost its effectiveness. Maybe we should push you harder next time."

—Morgana post-training, fourth time, first stage, Persona 5

"You were able to do more than before, but don't push yourself too much..."

—Morgana post-training, first time, second stage, Persona 5

"Seems like you're getting the hang of this... I'll be sure to help you next time."

—Morgana post-training, fourth time, second stage, Persona 5

"I thought regular pull-ups weren't good enough anymore... Perhaps I pushed you too hard."

—Morgana post-training, first time, third stage, Persona 5

"You're doing these like I'm not even here, I'm impressed! Let's try a different method next time."

—Morgana post-training, fourth time, third stage, Persona 5

"I guess that was hard, even for you... I could feel your determination though."

—Morgana post-training, first time, fourth stage, Persona 5

"It seems like you're getting to used to this. Maybe this is the limit of what we can do at home..."

—Morgana post-training, third time, fourth stage, Persona 5

"Mm-hmm. It was a nice workout, as always."

—Morgana post-training, fourth time, fourth stage, Persona 5

Gym Training

"Hey! Welcome! You came here with your friend the other day, right? I'm happy you could come back! Now... I recommend using this equipment, since you're a beginner. This is a treadmill. This will, of course, improve your physical stamina. You'll also learn some mental control by regularly checking your heart rate."

—Personal Trainer, first visit, first stage Persona 5

"Seems like you've been working out a lot. Why don't you try training with this next? This is a bench press. It will increase your strength, of course. It'll also make you mentally stronger since you need to keep a consistent rhythm and form."

—Personal Trainer, first visit, second stage, Persona 5

"You've improved a lot since I last saw you. Why don't you try training with this next!? This is a wooden dummy. It's great for martial arts training. You know, karate, Wing Chun... You hit it as you perform some kata--practice moves--and you'll develop physical stamina. You'll also be training yourself mentally by being mindful of the form and flow of your movements."

—Personal Trainer, first visit, third stage, Persona 5

"Hey, you're still going at it. It seems like you're getting pretty good at this. If you think of this wooden dummy as your friend, not just a tool, you'll get even better results. Well... I don't think there's much more I can teach you. Keep up the good work!"

—Personal Trainer, first visit, fourth stage, Persona 5

"Well, let's begin your workout."

—Morgana, second visit onward, any stage, Persona 5

"You're running pretty fast. Be careful. You'll get tired out If you don't pace yourself well."

—Morgana mid-training, first visit, first stage, Persona 5

"All right, let's be mindful of your pace. You don't want to make the same mistake as last time."

—Morgana mid-training, second visit, first stage, Persona 5

"Seems like you're doing well! Be careful, and watch your heart rate."

—Morgana mid-training, third and fourth visit, first stage, Persona 5

"Oooh... That looks heavy. Hey, your form's off."

—Morgana mid-training, first visit, second stage, Persona 5

"Well, that looks heavy... as usual. Hey! Your rhythm's breaking down."

—Morgana mid-training, second visit, second stage, Persona 5

"Seems like you're doing well! There's no problems with your rhythm or form!"

—Morgana mid-training, third and fourth visit, second stage, Persona 5

"You still look awkward doing this. Maybe it's because you just learned the kata?"

—Morgana mid-training, first visit, third stage, Persona 5

"It seems you're starting to get the hang of the kata, but you still look a bit clumsy..."

—Morgana mid-training, second visit, third stage, Persona 5

"You still look a little clumsy, but you're much better than when you started."

—Morgana mid-training, third and fourth visit, third stage, Persona 5

"Oooh... That personal trainer's advice is really working. You're moving much better than before."

—Morgana mid-training, first visit, fourth stage, Persona 5

"Nice, you're getting better at this. The sounds when you hit that dummy are relaxing somehow."

—Morgana mid-training, second visit, fourth stage, Persona 5

"Your movements look like a dance! It seems you gained some mastery from your wooden dummy training..."

—Morgana mid-training, third visit onward, fourth stage, Persona 5

"...Hey, are you still alive? That was quite a fall, there."

—Morgana post-training, first visit, first stage, Persona 5

"Good work. Keep it up, just like this!"

"You're too used to this equipment to get any great results. Let's try something new next time."

—Morgana post-training, fourth visit, first stage, Persona 5

"Lifting that much weight was difficult, wasn't it...?"

—Morgana post-training, first visit, second stage, Persona 5

"You're getting used to this, too... Let's try out some other equipment next time."

—Morgana post-training, fourth visit, second stage, Persona 5

"You can't just go full throttle from the very beginning. You need to build up your stamina first..."

—Morgana post-training, first visit, third stage, Persona 5

"You're getting pretty used to this. What should we do next time?"

—Morgana post-training, fourth visit, third stage, Persona 5

"You seem tired. Don't push yourself..."

—Morgana post-training, first visit, fourth stage, Persona 5

"I think you can go toe to toe with a master now! You won't grow much more by training this way."

—Morgana post-training, third visit, fourth stage, Persona 5

"You've done well. I didn't think you'd make it this far. All I can do now is watch over you..."

—Morgana post-training, fourth visit onward, fourth stage, Persona 5
