I asked this because I read an article on tnation by Dan John saying that he foam rolled at the original World Gym but I don't recall any rollers there during the joe gold era.

I'm thinking the original world gym closed/moved to a smaller gym on Lincoln around 2000?

It moved from the second location in Venice in 2000 or so.

The first location was in Santa Monica from 1978-1987 give or take...

I trained there from 79 to the middle of 81. Dan John is a little older than me. I think that's what through me.
