They came from all over the world to work out at Gold’s Gym.
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.
I’ve been very lucky in my life.
I nicknamed everyone in the gym. It was easier than remembering their names.
I couldn’t pronounce Arnold Schwarzenegger, so I called him Balloon Belly.
Gold’s was the first bodybuilding gym made for bodybuilders.
Everybody thinks that I did this and I did that, but I just went along with the times.
That’s the object of going to a gym, having fun.
It was the highlight of my life being in the Mae West show, because I saw and did things I never had before.
