The Rock just moved his gym to Hawaii, and he's about to get a lot leaner

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has planted his massive traveling gym in the middle of the jungle so he can train while filming back-to-back blockbusters.

Dubbed the Iron Paradise by The Rock, the "50,000 pounds of traveling iron, sweat, gratitude, and cuss words" will be the Rampage star's new fitness home for the next several months.

Johnson is on location to begin filming Disney's Jungle Cruise, which the star will immediately follow up with the Fast and the Furious spin-off Hobbs & Shaw alongside noted shark wrestler Jason Statham. The marathon production will last around either months, Johnson noted on Instagram, and will require the actor to significantly slim down for period piece Jungle Cruise, which is set in the 1920s.

"Apparently, during that time, there wasn’t a lot of big half-Samoan half-black guys running around," Johnson says.

Based on the iconic Disney park ride, director Jaume Collet-Serra's Jungle Cruise will follow a boat captain - played by Johnson - as he ferries a brother and sister team (Jack Whitehall and Emily Blunt) on a dangerous, supernatural-tinged expedition through the Amazon.

While Disney has yet to verify whether The Rock will fight a hippopotamus with his bare hands in the film, I can confirm that I personally will be let down if he does not.

To ensure the Disney-mandated results, The Rock is embarking on a "Hard core 8 month commitment to diet, training and body transformation."

He already has the receipts, posting videos of himself getting after a few 400-pound Pit Shark squats inside the Iron Paradise. (No word if those are included in his $1 million social media fee.)

"It’s a bitch of a closer, especially that last 10 second burn," he wrote, "but extremely productive for the gain."

Welcome to the jungle, indeed.
