Rockstar's own GTA VI pages publish no stats or skills, but a developer interview says the game tracks health, cardio and fitness levels and has gym workouts. That comes from Rob Nelson of Rockstar North in an interview with Famitsu, not from a Rockstar page. No stat list, numbers, skill tree or per-character differences have been published.

Why background is not a stat sheet
A biography (Army service, a father who taught someone to fight) tells you about the character in the story. It does not tell you whether the game tracks a number for it. The same applies to trailer footage, which shows scenes rather than hidden rules. Confirmation needs a Rockstar gameplay description, feature page or store listing.
