The Gold's Gym Story

Gold’s Gym has been the authority on fitness since 1965 dating back to the original Gold’s Gym in Venice, California. It was the place for serious fitness. Gold’s Gym quickly became known as “The Mecca of Bodybuilding.’’  In 1977, Gold’s Gym received international attention when it was featured in the movie Pumping Iron that starred Arnold Schwarzenegger and Lou Ferrigno.  From that first gym in Venice, Gold’s Gym has become the largest co-ed gym chain in the world with over 550 facilities in 43 states and 25 countries.
