How strong,fast,agile,flexible, ect, would they be?
For example, how much do you think a gorilla could bench press if it followed a training regime similar to that of an Olympic weight lifter's?

I don't know, probably something like ~250-500 kilograms?

A tiger that worked out in a gym on a daily basis would probably be stronger than all bar the largest brown bears (assuming that the bears themselves did not work out, of course).

Those figures sound way too low. Apparently the world record for a bench press was around one thousand pounds.
Do any of you think a cheetah could theoretically reach speeds of one hundred miles an hour, or would that be physically impossible?
And assuming croc's regularly worked out their jaw muscles how powerful of a bite could they produce?

I was under the impression that the daily life's of wild animals are already a good work out.
oops Olympic training regime, it went over my head.

That isn’t the same thing, you’re right, but in a wild animal the difference between working out and not working out will only be a fraction of the difference in humans. A gorilla for example has strong arms because it uses them regularly, that’s not just its couch-potato state. If it didn’t need, and thereby train them, they wouldn’t exist.
So it’s only the extreme specialization of the training regime that makes the difference.
