Title: Pump House Gym in Long Beach or Seal Beach?
Post by: 6 Reps on January 22, 2018, 11:41:24 PM

Does anybody remember a small gym named The Pump House located in either the Long Beach or Seal Beach, California area?  I never worked out there but I remember seeing it.

The only thing that comes up on google is a yoga and fitness studio in Walnut Grove, CA.

Thanks for your reply but that’s not it.  This was a small bodybuilding gym, I think around the Seal Beach or Long Beach areas, but this was many, many years ago.  I was just wondering if anyone remembers it or had possibly worked out there. I never did.

What was it like, how long ago we talking? I live in the area now and it's cool to hear about those old school bodybuilding gyms.

Again, I never worked out there, but as I vaguely remember it was a smallish gym, maybe kind of a neighborhood type gym.  I’m sorry I can’t even remember where it was located, nearer Seal Beach I think. 

This was a long time ago, beginning of the 1980’s.  I moved out of the area and don’t know what happened after that.
