Gold's was the first bodybuilding gym made for bodybuilders.

I couldn't pronounce Arnold Schwarzenegger, so I called him Balloon Belly.

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.

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

Everybody thinks that I did this and I did that, but I just went along with the times.

I nicknamed everyone in the gym. It was easier than remembering their names.

I've been very lucky in my life.

That's the object of going to a gym, having fun.

They came from all over the world to work out at Gold's Gym.

Nothing fun in life is easy.

The walls around us bear witness to lives past and present.

Culture is to know the best that has been said and thought in the world.

We've always said that our band is pretty much an open system and there's no rules governing anything... so who knows what the future will hold?
