We take a trip back to Gold’s Gym Reseda, located at 18323 Sherman Way. It was the only Gold’s Gym in the valley at the time, and it was open twenty-four hours. It’s also where many of the biggest and well-known bodybuilders and wrestlers worked out in the 1980’s, allowing them to slip away from the craziness of Venice Beach to enjoy a more meditative and peaceful workout. Here is some footage I shot of my friends doing a late night workout there on February 21st, 1986.

Pretty good stuff GR....I used to love doing Shrugs on the Universal Machine........Presses and Dips were also great.

Back in 1979, that is all we had at the school was a Universal machine.
I had a small basement gym as well (only two 110 lb. sets and a bench, I was 13).
But it was great at the time. Leg press on it, etc...
We would foolishly do leg-presses before hockey practice. (Not the smartest thing to do).
Training for sports has come a long way of course since then. But yes, fun times.

Is there a vid of Gaspari training at this gym?
Seems like I saw it.

I used to hit up Springfield College to train....then I joined the local "Y" which was hardcore and where I first saw Dave Mass.
