Hello,
Gold's Gym just opened it's first facility here in Brazil - São Paulo. I visited, did a couple of workouts there and I very seduced. Now I'm writing a few articles - both for the Brazilian and for the international audience about this issue and I want to give them a strong historical perspective. I'm researching material on Gold's Gym history, but I welcome any inputs on this.

Let me see what I can do. My friend and my kids godfather is Pete Grymkowski who used to own Gold's. He visit Brazil quite often and was looking to buy a place down there on some fancy island I can't remember the name of. As far as I know he is in Mexico right now till the end of May. He has a place down there. I will email him and see what he is doing. He would be great to interview since he bascially knows the best stories.

Jeff, thx so much, but the message at the page says: "registration is currently disabled" and there is no way to view the content without it... I know it is asking a lot, but could you copy the contents and e-mail them to me, if it's not too much trouble and any type of privacy violation?
thanks again...
