Vince Girondas Famous Personalities

One of the leading professional weight training teachers in the world, Vince owns and operates one of the finest health studios in the country at 1162 Ventura Boulevard in Studio City, California.

Many outstaning athletes and bodybuilders train at Vince's Gym, including Floyd Simmonds, Olympic Decathlon star; Bill Mahalo, Olympic marathon performer; Gary Finneran and Angelo Brovelli, professional football players; Bert Elliot, former National Weightlifting champion; Larry Scott, one of the country's leading bodybuilders, and many others too numerous to mention.

Because Vince's Gym is located near many movie studios, many actors and show business personalities train there. Some of these include Clint Walker, George Hamilton, Clint Eastwood, Larry Parks, Sean Flynn, Byron Palmer, john Saxon, and Clu Gulager.

Vince jokingly mentioned, "There are so many western actors and their stand-ins around here, that about 6:00 p.m., it looks like the Long Branch Saloon on Gunsmoke."
