The iconic World Gym brand was founded in 1976 by Joe Gold during the glory days of "Muscle Beach" in Venice, CA. Joe was one of the original ringleaders of Muscle Beach. In his prime, he toured with Mae West, and was at the heart of the cozy connection that has always existed between the Muscle Beach fitness scene and the celebrity of Hollywood. Joe blazed a trail followed later by the likes of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lou Ferrigno, and Dave Draper to name just a few - all of whom had significant Hollywood careers and an intimate connection to and love for World Gym.

Since that time, World Gym has evolved into an internationally recognized brand that has captured the imagination of people around the globe. Given its storied past, it is no surprise that World Gym is one of the most celebrated fitness brands in the world today.

I loved my job and took pride in knowing that I was helping people better their life. Management was very helpful with any issues that I had and worked with their employees. There was possibility of making more money through commission, but it wasn't stressed or need to be a pushy sales associate. I learned a lot about what the gym has to offer and supplements that they sold. All co-workers were nice and helpful. It was a fun and exciting work environment. Everyone pushed everyone to do and be better.
