More than 40 years ago, workout guru Joe Gold embarked on his quest to launch exercisers toward their physical-fitness goals by opening a small studio in Venice Beach, California. Today, that studio has since expanded into a worldwide fitness empire comprising 600 locations that share Joe’s passion for reshaping bodies and minds through expert training and self-empowerment. Members of Gold’s Gym can earn beads of sweat by running in the cardio-cinema theater, participating in group exercise classes, or contorting their bodies until they can lick their own elbows in the yoga and Pilates studio. The gym’s instructors and personal trainers guide reps as bodybuilding protégés hoist free weights above their heads and swing kettlebells. Gold’s Gym also accommodates guests with such amenities as hydromassage beds for unknotting tired backs, juice bars for pulverizing fresh fruits, and professional babysitting services for precious offspring.
