Gold's gym est. 1965
In 1965 the Gold's Gym legend began at a small store front location in Venice, California where Joe Gold opened the original Gold's Gym which is simply known as „The Mecca“ and still is in operation.
Mekka of bodybuilding
Anyone and everyone who was serious about fitness came from around the world to train at Gold's Gym and with the release of the 1977 picture, Pumping Iron, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Lou Ferrigno, Gold's Gym quickly became the „most famous gym in the world“.
