Gold's Gym Founder Joe Gold


To my friend Joe Gold, resting in heaven, thanks for the special memories and lifetime gym membership you gave me after I 'accidentally' dropped a bowl of oatmeal over Arnold Schwarzenegger's bestie Alan Wurtzel's head at Napolean on Main Street. You laughed about that for at least a month. Thank you for giving me your own personal World's Gym sweatshirts, holes and all, that I keep now as mementos in memory of you. Thank you for letting me open that Dom Perignon that Arnold gave you one year on your birthday and for not kicking me and Lee Priest out of the gym... LOL. And most of all, thank you for sharing all of the stories of the history of the two most famous gyms of all... Gold's Gym Venice and World Gym Santa Monica where the most incredible bodies in the world were built, shaped and chiseled one workout at a time. 

I miss you "darling"...
