Publisher's summary

The Three Muscleteers is the story of Gold’s Gym and what’s now known around the world as the fitness industry.

Not long ago, athletes of most popular sports—football, basketball, baseball—never lifted weights. Coaches and trainers, even doctors, were against it, especially for women.

The film Pumping Iron, which made Arnold Schwarzenegger a star, was shot at Gold’s Gym. That, along with the explosion of bodybuilding competitions that followed throughout the 80s, was a “big bang" moment. Thanks to the trifecta of Joe Weider’s fitness magazines, Arnold’s stardom, and Gold’s Gym, the fitness industry was transformed.

As one of the three owners of Gold’s Gym during its golden years, Ed Connors will inspire with his success stories of hundreds of visitors to his home in Venice, CA (only blocks from Gold’s Gym). Visitors he believed were destined for greatness, like action film star and WWE
champion John Cena, who helped make Gold’s Gym "the Mecca" and the largest gym chain in the world.

Ed believes life is half fate and half what you do with it. The Three Muscleteers amplifies the importance of taking risks, creating the perfect team, and never giving up—inspiring bodybuilders, wrestlers, athletes, actors, architects, CEOs, and anyone willing to take a chance to flex their own muscles.

Bodybuilding’s history real insights

This is a great read documenting some of the greatest players in the history of bodybuilding and Gold’s Gym. Ed Connors did not just have a front row seat, he helped creating some of the biggest icons in bodybuilding and wrestling.

I was there for it all and lucky enough to know Ed Connors

This is by far the Best book I’ve come across in a very long time! I purchased the audible version and believe listening to Ed tell it all to you like you are sitting right there with him makes this magical time in the Gym & Fitness industry that much more fascinating! The detail and depth that is covered in this book is amazing. From the very beginning to the very end and all instrumental pieces and tidbits throughout make this a Must read if you’ve ever worked out, played a sport or were one of the millions touched by Golds Gym in your life. It documents and covers over 30 years in the Fitness industry, bodybuilding, movie stars, professional wrestling, professional sports, etc. This book has it all and something for everyone to enjoy. I have no doubt it will be one of the Best Selling books / audio books of all time. Very well done Ed.
