I’ve been very lucky in my life.
With some basic skills, ambition and persistence, then there is little limit to what you can achieve, and by trying you can often surprise yourself.
To keep it simple you run your gym like you run your house. Keep it clean and in good running order. No jerks allowed, members pay on time and if they give you any crap, throw them out. There’s peace where there’s order.
They came from all over the world to work out at Gold’s Gym.
I nicknamed everyone in the gym. It was easier than remembering their names.

It was the highlight of my life being in the Mae West show, because I saw and did things I never had before.
