PSA: "Quick" way to earn Gym Rat badge (NG)

So as you might know already, to earn Gym Rat badge you need to earn 3 star rating on 50 gym workouts.

Which means you can earn it in 10 weeks earliest. 5 different workouts, then you earn the physical bonus for a week and you can't work out anymore.

Except... Gatorade reflex drill. It's repeatable and counts. I screwed up my sprint drill (rip my weekly bonus) so I was at 4/50. Now I'm at 8/50, gaining 4 drills by running the gatorade drill.
It still will take time - but considerably less than waiting 10 or more weeks.

EDIT: Finished it, got the badge. Took a while, sometimes had to wait for one person.

Good looking out!

...though I'm guessing it'll be patched sooner rather than later.

Hope not, because the requirement is just... mental. Reportedly the good old way of winning a ring works too even though it's not mentioned. But 10 weeks? More like 11 or 12 if you screw up couple times? That's like 20% of the game's life cycle.

If they do patch it I'd say lower the requirement and add laternative ways.

Agreed. I'd be concerned though because historically they're quick to patch exploits without addressing issues that affect us, so I could see them closing the loophole and leaving it as is.
