World Gym

American fitness center

World Gym International LLC is an American fitness center founded in 1976 by Joe Gold during the glory days of "Muscle Beach" in Venice Beach, California. Joe Gold is also the founder of Gold's Gym, another unaffiliated gym chain, which he sold in 1973. Owned by the Cammilleri family since 2009, its plans include further global expansion of the franchise network and the opening of regional flagship gyms.

Joe Gold started Gold's gym in 1965. Many world famous bodybuilders trained there. Gold sold the gym in 1973 and went back out to sea as a sea merchant. When he came back, he regretted that he had also sold the rights to his name. Since he could not use "Gold" in its name, he opened a new gym in Santa Monica under the name of World Gym. Joe sold his World Gym in the valley to a bodybuilder named Steve Davis, who later sold it for $25,000. Gold moved his Santa Monica World Gym to Venice then to Marina Del Ray, and the location closed after he died in 2004. World Gym is now owned by the Cammilleri family, since 2009.
