Question for Tim Fogarty

[Coach is Back!]

How big was the original Gold's Gym? I remember driving past it when I was kid. I've been a member at every Golds gym exept that one. I thought I remember someone saying it was only like a 1000sq ft.

the original Golds was at 1006 Pacific Ave, Venice  CA 90291

its currently a residence, and zillow.com lists the entire building at 3435 square feet, the size of the lot is 3800 square feet.   How much of that was usable gym space back in 1965, I don't know.

I see where golds was but it doesn't look like 3400 sqft. I wonder if thats the block from golds to the corner building?

from google maps, satellite view, it looks to be about 50 by 70, which is 3500

Makes sense.

Heres what Ken Sprague said on ironage.

"Incidentally, the building was 45 feet wide x 70 feet deep---16' high ceilings in the gym area.  Including the upstairs locker rooms and showers, the mecca did not exceed 3500 square feet of floor space."
