Iconic Venice Beach Workout
You can’t miss the outdoor weightlifting area at Muscle Beach Venice: just look for the giant concrete barbell atop the roof.
Hardbodies and spectators alike congregate at the workout mecca, located at the south end of the Venice Beach Recreation Center. Foremost among these is the original Gold’s Gym, where Arnold Schwarzenegger and other legendary bodybuilders pumped iron in the 1970s.
Our first time at muscle beach and it was an experience. Lots to see and it was bustling with people. There are lots of little stores, food and workout sites with bars. It seems like a great place to feel motivated to work out or show off your hard earned body.
Dubbed "the coolest block in America", Abbot Kinney is home to one-of- kind.
