When Gold's Gym first hit the scene in the 1960s, they were thought of exclusively as a bodybuilding place. In fact, the first facility was heavily featured in the 1977 weightlifting movie "Pumping Iron" which was famous for making Arnold Schwarzeneggar a star. By the time the owner sold the franchise, the mystique surrounding Gold's Gym had spread to include more than just bodybuilding.
