Vince Gironda’s Hollywood Gym Helped The Studios Whip Their Stars Into Shape For The Movies

Vince Gironda exclaimed “Clint Walker! The most physically impressive big man I have ever seen. What a natural body!”

Modern bodybuilding is a drug cult – whatever happened to Physical Culture?!

Whenever I see photos or a video of the equipment that was in Vince’s Gym it always brings up warm memories.

I met Vince when I was 19 looking for Joe Weider products. He said never ask for Joe Weider products, you will get laughed out of the gym.

There will never be another Vince’s Gym. Michael Barrozo Remembers Vince Gironda.

I was friends with Vince Gironda’s son Guy through high school and college and I was fortunate enough to learn about Vince from his son.

I met Vince Gironda in 1968, a true gentleman. he got me a job in the Encino Health Club after I had just arrived from New Zealand.
