Gold's Gym vs Legends Boxing Franchise Comparison

Bodybuilders training outside on Muscle Beach were the first customers for the original Gold's Gym when it opened in Venice, California, in 1965. With its intense, no-frills atmosphere, the gym soon became known as the 'Mecca of Bodybuilding.' Arnold Schwarznegger's movie 'Pumping Iron' focused on Gold's Gym, propelling it into the spotlight in 1975. Gold's Gym has been franchising since 1980, and franchises account for more than 90 percent of its locations. In addition to running the health club facilities, franchisees sell Gold's Gym licensed apparel through their Pro Shops.

The Legends Boxing brand has “put in the hard yards” to ensure that the franchise owner has a spectacular fitness club that provides its members with a safe, respectful, and cutting-edge atmosphere. When you franchise with Legends, you receive a full-service real estate team, prompt turnkey construction processes, a marketing plan that quickly grows membership, ongoing training and support, and a proven business model to follow.
