I saw Clint Eastwood at my gym and a good number of French celebrities. None of them lift much.

I have met a lot of pro bodybuilders but I assume you mean celebs.
Years ago the best ever was when I met Wayne Gretzky and Mark Messier when they played for the Oilers. They were at the local gym. ( for me this is huge since I love hockey)
I met a lot of pro wrestlers. years ago when they would travel they'd go to a local gym to workout. I met Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, Ultimate Warrior, Rick Rude and on an on...
I actually met Harrison Ford and his wife Calista Flockhart recently at the Fairmont Hotel SF's club one gym.
Also met Dwayne Johnson, Shannon Elizabeth etc...
When you live in SoCal it is very easy to see and meet celebs.

Johnny Knoxville a couple years back at a gym in West Hollywood Ca. He was cool as shit. Squatting 185. Props for being a celeb and even working out legs. Ray Lewis was at my current gym like 2 months ago or so. The stupid counter girl charged him 20 bucks for a day pass. What a cuunnnt

I saw God at the gym the other day.
He was using the lat pulldown machine and had a knee brace on.

i lived in so cal and las Vegas for 25 yrs and have never seen a celeb in public or in any gym.

My daughter worked the front desk at Golds Gym in Honolulu. She opened. Well Ferrigno came in to train. He didn't have a card so she charged him $20 to train. She told me he kept trying to explain he doesn't need to pay. She said everyone has to have a card. She knew who he was but didn't budge. When the manager came in he saw him and my daughter said he wanted in for free but she charged him. The manager got a $20 bill and gave it back to Lou. He got pissed at her for charging him. The funny part is the manager ended up getting fired for stealin credit card numbers from members and charged over $40,000 on them. I think that was the amount or close.

First off you have to actually step into a gym and secondly they aren't going to some off the beaten path gym in the ghetto.
Go to any gym in West Hollywood and see all of the celebs, plus all of the gays. Back in the day when I was doing a contract at NBC studios I would head to Crunch WH. You would see all sorts of celebs.

One's I train or have trained or one's I see?
-
I trained delts with Sean Penn and Tim Robbins while they were in town shooting "Mystic River" here in Boston.
I'll never forget what Sean told me about how he started working out
"I started reading about gaining weight
and weightlifting in some magazines.
And I saw Arnold's picture.
My father's real tall and l'm short,
so at least...
if l can't get as tall as he is,
l wanna be as wide as he was."

Chipper Jones a few years ago. Myself of course....hahaha J/K!!!
-
Too many to remember... the last one I saw was Silvio at Gold's Venice.

What part of ''have you seen '' don't you understand ,Coach?

The kid "Frank the Entertainer" goes to my gym
-
Superstar Billy Graham trained at the same gym I did for years in Phoenix. Really cool guy. He is all beat up and has had a bunch of hip replacements and while he was training there had to have a liver transplant so he didn't lift much. Mostly just machines, but is still a great guy.

Luke and Butch: The Bushwhackers. They looked and acted just like they were on the apron down to the main event.

Did you see Disturbia wrestle them after the training session? 8)

I figure most celebrities have gyms 1000 times nicer in one of their mansions then any regular gym out there, and unless they're away working on a movie I seriously doubt they would go to a public gym... I'm talking about A listers of course, I read the Rock goes to Gold's in L.A all the time and I'm sure some smaller (read: TV) actors work out in places like that.
The only semi famous people I've seen and ran into at the gym other than pro bb'ers were the wrestlers who always show up at one particular gym when they're in Toronto for Raw or Smackdown

WWE wrestlers, Edge, Chris Benoit, Christian, Lance Storm, Kane, Torrie Wilson & Lex Lugar.
Pro Body Builders: Dexter Jackson, Ronnie Coleman & Jay Cutler.

A few of the top wrestlers back in the day. Randy Savage trained like a chick. He must have been clean when I saw him because he just looked tall and skinny.
Remember seeing Tony Atlas a few times. Dude was older but still a beast.
-
Steve Michalik. Dude is still wide.
are you kidding?

you mom! I recognized from that vid where big black guy does her rump!

You'd be shocked. A lot of celebs who stay at high end hotels while on the road will hit the gym at the hotel. I used to workout at the Club one in the Fairmont hotel in SF and you'd see all sorts there. This is the hotel that Presidents stay at when visiting SF so you know that celebs have no issues with staying there.
