Gold's Gym

[Sergeant]

I am visiting in California from New Jersey and just realized that I am 50 miles away from Gold's Venice. Would it be worth the trip to go see the gym and who might be working out? Does anyone know when would be a good time to go? Any other ideas? I am staying in Laguna Beach.

Thanks

I've never been there and I lived in Cali for 3.5 years. I regret not going.

I would go in the morning or mid-morning, seems lke a good time to catch a star. Go your only about an hour away and you can enjoy all the other sights in the area, ie. chicks

I trained there all summer last year, you'll definately see some celebs, the rock is there alot, kobe, cormier, lou ferigno ect.

make sure you go to the firehouse too it fucking rocks, the only place I can order a meal and not have to substitute everything

You gotta go, if you don't, you will regret it.

One other thing, don't waste your time on muscle beach. It sucks.

What you should do is leave wherever your at at like 4:30 in the morning......drive to golds venice........go eat some breakfast at the firehouse......go over to the gym from 9 am to 3pm.........and even later, you will see a few guys.........gunter schlierkamp was in today, you will see tom prince and bob chick for sure...........charles glass......the barbarian brothers.......bro you need to go.......tomorrow is saturday, traffic will be slow in the morning hours.......you can leave at 6 am and be here in LA at 7 am!!!!!!!!!!!

there are other golds...for instance in Redondo Beach...like 20 miles closer to where you are

I worked out there for 10 years... was just back last week.

It is a must do to a work out at the Mecca. You won't be intimidated. For most people there it is just the neighborhood gym. You do have some big guys (and girls) but you will always be bigger than 50% of the people there... because like I said it is jsut a neighborhood gym... even though it is huge.

A day pass cost $15.00.

Go in the morning... the serious crowd is in there in the AM so you will be more likely to see some celebs and pros.

Definitely go. I did a few years ago. It was a trip! I had my wife drop me off at golds in the morning, then I spent the day on Venice beach which is a blast. You need to see the "Pit" as well, the outside gym where Arnold and Franco used to train.

If you are a bodybuilding enthusiast it is a must do.

make sure you stop at The Firehouse to eat...many of the pros go there to grab food. They got tons of shit for BBs on the corner of Main and Rose

Every BB must make the pilgrimage to the MECCA once in their life time...
