Google to take over iconic fitness landmark Gold’s Gym in Venice, CA

The nerds finally beat the jocks. The historic Gold’s Gym location in Venice Beach, “mecca of bodybuilding” where former governator and movie star Arnold Schwarzenneger once trained, will soon be occupied by Google. This gym site opened in the late 1960s (and, to be honest, it was pretty shabby in recent years—I was a member for some time). Ahnold is shown in the vintage stock reel here, along with other beefy Gold’s Gym dudes of the seventies.
