Golds Gym

When you think of serious workout facilities, one of the first names that springs to mind is Gold's Gym. They first opened their doors in Venice, California in 1965, and soon became known as "The Mecca of Bodybuilding."

Gold's Gym became a cult icon when they were featured in the 1977 movie "Pumping Iron", which starred Arnold Schwarzenegger and Lou Ferrigno. Since then they have grown to become one of the largest co-ed gym chains in the world, with in excess of 600 facilities spread across 43 states and 25 countries.

Step into a Gold's Gym and you will find the latest in equipment and services, from group exercise classes and personal training through to a wide range of cardiovascular equipment and spinning bikes. Pilates and yoga classes are also offered. Of course, the core of any gym is the weight lifting tradition, and this is where they stand out. A superb array of free weights and machines will enable you to maximise your workout time.

But what sets them apart is their reputation - this is a chain recognized world wide for their passion, heritage, experience and reputation as the authority in fitness. If you are searching for somewhere that has the equipment, trainers and philosophy to inspire you to achieve your true potential, check them out.
