In addition to being nicknamed the Iron Guru Vince Gironda was also
called the Trainer of the Stars.

Vince would help the studios whip their stars into shape for the movies;
he has helped train the likes of Cher, Clint Eastwood, Denzel Washington,
James Garner, Brian Keith, Tommy Chong (of Cheech & Chong) and
Erik Estrada.

 

It is said that in the late 1960"s, before bodybuilders started to use steroids,

Vince's Gym produced more top physique stars than any other gym in the world.

 

 

 

Keep training hard,
