Daniel Craig has his own gym on the set of the new James Bond film.
The actor, who has reprised his role as the suave British spy for 'Quantum of Solace', has been busy pumping iron in-between filming at London's Pinewood Studios to keep his body as toned as it was in 'Casino Royale'.
A source said: "Producers have allocated a soundstage of his own to use as his personal gym.
"It is full of free-weights, ropes and rings, as well as a running machine, trampolines and crash mats.
"He has an adjoining massage room with his own chill-out area where he will have a physio on call."
Daniel, 40, has reportedly mastered the rings, one of the most punishing gymnastic disciplines, which relies on the sheer strength of his upper body.
The source added to Britain's The Sun newspaper: "The stuntmen on the film are all really impressed by Daniel. He likes to throw himself into training and likes to make sure he is at the peak of physical fitness while filming Bond.
"The 'crucifixion' move on the rings is regarded as one of the toughest for a male athlete in any sport. It's the ultimate test of strength and control and Daniel is close to mastering it."
