Title: Zoo Culture Gym Woodland Hills CA - Grand Opening
Post by: Ron on May 26, 2017, 11:01:57 PM
Stopped by before the grand opening of Zoo Culture Woodland Hills tomorrow to check it out.  Cool hardcore place in Woodland Hills, California on the corner of De Soto and Victory.   Owners are Bradly Martyn and Brad, whom i have known for quite a well (both have competed).

That's a great poster/flyer Ron.

Sure to turn some heads and create attention.

Love the Zoo culture text at the bottom.

Non-symmetrical and edgy. Needs more birds though.

Drunk guy gets proper customer service.

It also shows that many blacks lack self-control, that's why it became a 'zoo culture' at that place.

Coachs gym is 1000x better than the zoo gym. Bradley Martyn is a scumbag and I wouldn't trust him for a second
He's a shady snake oil salesman. It'll be bankrupt in a few years time

Former physique competitor. My guess is his demographic is about 15-21.

I'm sure he has a big following and seems he may be a nice guy. I just can't watch his vids. I can't make it through anyone using the words "like" and f*ck, f*cking 5 times per sentence. All the best of luck to him but I doubt he'll need it. He seems to be doing well and his gym seems to have a lot of interest and big names.

This is the first I've heard of him. I love going to new, new to me gyms. I congratulate him. When I retire I want to take my old '66 a100 and travel the country hitting a differbtvlocal gym everyday. This guy does seem friendly enuff. I may stop for a daily, if they offer then in July when I'm out there.

Ron didn't start it but he did not delete it either when I started my Brickyard thread. I'm in a smaller rural area though and it's not like anyone has ever come in an said "Hey! Getbig sent me!"

I'll be updating my thread soon as we are building a huge steel building addition this summer.

I need to star a whacky YouTube channel haha!

There's a difference between sharing some pictures of your gym or promoting it like including contact info, promo codes or a sales pitch. I remember your nice thread and I won't put it in the second category.

First, i have no problem with new cool gyms featured here - love checking out new places like that - over the years, quite a few have been here, so I don't have a problem if you got good pics on these gyms. Anyone can put up a thread on a new hardcore gym that looks good. Love those. Metroflex Gyms, Armhurst, Powerhouse, Golds - this one happens to be a few miles from my house, and the guys running it have always been good and respectful to me. What I have a problem more is promoting supplements...

Met Bradley in 2011 when he first started competing, and mad respects to him for building up a 2.4 million Instragram base and more...  and physique and classic competitors do train hard. He had no beard, was told what he should do by people who didn't really care, but he chose his own path and built it up. Good for him.  


By the way, talked to some guys who went there for the opening before coming to the IFBB California for finals.  The line to get in was like 200-300 people, and CT Fletcher, Jay Cutler and others were also there.

i guess I'm out of the social media loop. Can a person make money from instagram directly or do u mean he sold 2.4 mil by becoming famous on inst and directed them to products?

Oh shit. Sorry. U mean 2.4 million people.

Looks like a great gym.  Props that this guy for taking advantage of his popularity while the time is right.  Had to cost an arm and a leg for all of that personallized stuff (weights, turf, etc.), it is pretty cool though.
