Joe Gold, founder of Gold's Gym, dies at 82
LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Joe Gold, a bodybuilding pioneer who founded a beachside gym made famous by then-bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger, has died. He was 82.

Gold's death on Sunday at a Los Angeles hospital was confirmed Monday by Dave Reiseman, a spokesman for Gold's Gyms. No further details were immediately available.

Schwarzenegger, now California's governor, issued a statement in which he called Gold "a trusted friend and father figure."
