In 1970 Joe Gold sold the gym to Bud Danitz and Dave Sachs.
In 1977 it was featured in the film "Pumping Iron." The movie mad stars out of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Lou Ferrigno.
Gold's has undergone several changes and face-lifts over the years. First, Dave Sachs sold his share in the company to partner Bud Danitz and then, in 1977, the gym was bought by former bodybuilder Ken Sprague.
Under Sprague's direction, the business continued to grow Several prestigious contests were hosted by Gold's Gym, starting in 1977 with "Mr. America."
In subsequent years, Gold's was the arena for several national Men's, Women's and Mixed Pairs competitions. Gold's led the way in promoting the recognition of women in the sport by co-hosting the first national woman's championship.
