“Let me speak to the manager” 💀
Yup. What a dingdong she was
@@mikerusso4001Jesus is all powerful. Repent and believe the gospel
@@mikerusso4001yeah what a ding dong for doing her job
Yeah I'm sure the manger called her a ding dong for calling him about a stupid request?@@blueninjanoname7338
Bro that’s a whole Patrick Bateman moment tbh
To those who are new to bodybuilding or unfamiliar, the old owner of Gold’s Gym made a policy that everyone who wins Mr Olympia gets a lifetime free membership.
I think this is at all gyms in the world
I thought if you was a pro it’s a free membership for life
@@JimmyJump813 I think it was on a case by case basis. Most free members there were Olympia winners except for Tom Platz.
How did they stay in business ??🤔
@@seferino stars like Arnold and Zane attracted new members. I'm pretty sure it was profitable.
Gold's. Now just a half a notch above planet fitness.
just half a universe better than planet bitterness
at least they dont have a lunk alarm
Agreed.That's a shame.
It’s head and shoulders above planet fitness.
@@anabolicbalkan6927nobody uses the lunk alarm lol.
Maybe in the beginning, but Planet fitness has been taken over by the bros now.
I can’t believe how far it’s come tbh, it’s far superior to pretty much all commercial gyms.
‘300lbs Dorian Yates walks in’
“Yeah, how do I know you’re a pro?💅”
Women ☕ 😂
"you tried to charge Dorian Yates? You're fired"
Ok... THIS. Literally spit out my pumpkin spice latte. That is like totally how it would go. You're too funny!
Not really, she was just doing her job. Certain managers are anal about not going to them for decisions like this. Don't blame her
Facts! Think he can walk in any gym on the planet and train for free.
Bro really wanted to flex the pumpkin spice latte huh
That family atmosphere is very rare to find today. I miss that.
Oh they are out there, but they are hard to find. I grew up in the early 2000s and worked out at the same gym as Toney Freeman, the X man did. It was a gym founded by 2 guys who retired from the NFL. Its very hard to find nowadays.@@ebeneezerscrooge2942
I go to a small family run gym. Iron plates and serious fitness people go there. atmosphere is phenomenal. Can do whatever you want as long as you're not breaking shit. Love it.
@@ownthispwn way better than the modern day franchise "Tin-Tok" "Instagram" crap
Find a small gym or calisthenics calisthenics park
@@mariuscatalin5982 "Oh I bet those calisthenics parks have ex NFL athletes and Mr Olympia competitors with 40% incline treadmills and 250lb dumbbells"
Imagine not recognising Dorian in a gym. 💀
You should not work in a gym
brother most people in a gym wouldn’t recognize him,they are not bodybuilders they just want to be healthy
@@oldscratch2610 not people working at golds gym
should get fired from gym honestly
It's more of a sad story...
She was literally sitting in front of a picture of him 😂
He may be Mr. Olympia, but he's still politely British.
Arnold would have immediately been an asshole
@@codemcloud6073Arnie would've probably clapped that
@@rihaan4619me too. What’s the problem?
@@darksaintxvi6914 you said it not me. What's the problem my g
"That'll be $40"....
Dorian, "I don't usually pay to train here"
"Ok, I'll have a word with the manager"!!😂
We all watched the video...
@@userunknown6428 Yeah, we know!!!
@@pasgas12safe58 but you still felt the need to tell us what we just watched
@@userunknown6428 Yeah & you felt the need to tell me👍😊
@pasgas12safe58 I saw your original comment you clown...
Dorian is a beauty. So humble.
Sure, but if he was humble he would have just paid the 40
His poster is literally on the wall...@@codyburling2902
@codyburling2902 so true 👍
@@codyburling2902 why pay for soemthing if you are given it for feee
@@codyburling2902oh so that company can literally gain attention and customers by having dorian on the wall using HIS image BUT he has to pay? Good 1,
This is fine when you’re a top notch legend. Problem is all the fitness models and bikini girls start showing up to community and local gyms saying “don’t you know who I am?”
exactly
Pfft those influencers. Dont even know about them.
Only olympia winners
Let them come, unless they have a pro card no dice, and after their ego is bruised they'll show you they're not poor by buying a membership and working harder to turn pro lol win win. Any way you get more people in the gym the better. The only ones who will look bad are the people whining about not being a pro. Having professional employees makes all the difference in keeping their cool and selling memberships while not being rude and having charm and tact. Having good looking women in your building never hurts. Now if they're really a problem you kick them out just like any business would but again staying professional.
Thats when you laugh an say no i dont know who you are why im telling you its 40 dollars..an if they say anything after that...point to the huge dorian poster an say until we hang up one of these of you then you can train for free
That girl will never forget that day 😂
Probably forgot already. Clearly didn’t care for the sport
Same thing happened to Lee Priest, they literaly made him pay 40$ drop in fee 😂
Wow I can’t imagine someone in the gym industry not knowing Dorian Yates. He was the face of 90s bodybuilding, that’s shocking.
It's just a pay cheque to them, not interested in the sport.
They didn’t recognize Brian Shaw and Eddie Hall either. That’s just insane to me.
@@JoshPecksDadRich Piana and Mike O'Hearn are well known. Piana's probably the most famous after Arnold because his face was Thanos. Also Martyn Ford is famous worldwide as well.
Golds usually had the Gold's atmosphere. Everyone who was anyone went there, sucks that it's watered down today, damn the fact they didn't recognize him baffles my mind but hey Dorian is the type of guy that wouldn't want to make someone feel bad, HIT true champ. Glad to see he is still keeping the spirit of it alive.
it's not the $40, it's about respect and trade promotions.
Shoot - I'd GIVE him $40 every time he showed up at my gym
I would pay him 200 every time he rocked up and paid for his dinner lol the amount of members and publicity, revenue he would bring in training at the gym would be insane lol
Bruh she really said "how do i know you're pro" 💀💀💀💀💀
I’ve seen Mr Yates there back in the day. Dam! He was a polite monster!
Didn’t call him the shadow for nothing
This guy is awesome and bad ass. All the best to Dorian
The Shadow Never pays!! 😅
If you work at golds gym, you should at a minimum know mister Olympias lol. Especially the ones that won multiple times
Perhaps so many years later he doesn't look the same now. Especially with his beard. I mean I'm not sure I would have recognised him. People also usually think about within the last couple of years.
Also, not everyone look at the past, it doesn't mean you can't be passionate or knowledgeable in your department. It just means you are not into popular references. Some of great music maker/musicians for example, only really know how to play their own music.
especially the one on the wall behind you
@@Ayorosan78.... You didn't listen to him, this didn't just happen to him a little while ago this happened to him when he was still mr. Olympia, back when he was on the top of his game.
Not important
He said it. New management. Who cares who you are
Dorian is freaking hilarious and so humble at the same time!😂👍
Man I saw Bev Francis come into a club I was working at in Sydney in the mid 2000’s , only reason I recognised her was she was seriously shredded, not big at all just shredded as
You recognized her shreds?😂
His calves are unreal.
40dollars just a day pass? That's hella expensive in the 90s
În The 90's they knew Who he is. I think golds gym was sold way later
it's to incentivate monthly subscriptions, a day's pass costs like half a month
I was assuming thats monthly which would be pretty cheap lol.
Yeah! WTH
Love Dorian! True Legend!
They cut out the best part, the staff got fired after.
You have to love Dorians little memories I bet he’s seen some hilarious antics over his career.
I want to hear the manager’s response
The shadow being unrecognisable 😂😂
KAREN of the Gym: "let me speak to the manager."
Why should we hire you?
_‘Because I need a job.“_
What a great bodybuilder, legendary
How you say 'dont you know who I am' without saying it 🤣🤣🤣
You don't belong in a gym if you don't recognize Dorian.
Love Dorian stories
That's what happened to me after I asked the bar tender to waive my tab.
Haha!
Saw a video of Bo Jackson trying to explain to a youth little league player at a game why he knew so much about the sport…
I bought his book, Blood and Guts, when it was only about 30 or $40. That book made all the difference in my training, journaling, and progress. Turned me around almost overnight. Ended up giving that book away to a friend of mine to help him out, 15 years later that book now sells for $200.
If I saw Dorian Yates in the line in front of me in the gym I’d pay for him😂😂
Todays "gyms" are trends , very rarely you get to see a proper hardcore gym with proper clientel
The story of all our great businesses. Gone...
She pulled an inside out Karen.
He never had the best genetics but made it through the best effort
Awesome!
If the most massive guy you've ever seen tells you he's a pro bodybuilder then you better believe him.
He handled it well. Politely
Funniest story ever told.
Mass giant !!!!!!!!!!!!
I like him. And he managed to save himself just in time it seems from the sad story that is Ronnie Coleman (who I also like by the way).
Same thing happened to lee priest😂 only I dont think his picture was on the wall, so he had to pay and got a refund later or something
Imagine asking this man if he is a pro back in those days. Dude was literally like the most mucular guy on earth🤣
Was probably Sean Ray working the counter that day.
“See that picture right there.”
Her: “sorry i have a boyfriend”
Yates is the best. 🥇💪
The gym is now called EOS gym. The Golds in my town also turned in to an ‘EOS gym’ and 10 bucks a month. Not a bad deal at all. 20 bucks if you wanna use the other locations
That was Flex before flex was recognized !
It also happened with Lee priest.
Eos is my new favorite gym
He's a total wreck without testo injections
In the 90s, it was already part of a larger group and not at all an individual gym but a chain with franchises outside the US.
Poor management for not involving bodybuilding culture into their business model
Bev Francis was my school Sports teacher for 3 years..Australia
So pros expected not to pay 😂
Brilliant !! 😂😂😂 👌
Bev Francis in Long Island lol
I Like how humble he speaks 🤝👑
Gyms should let pro’s train for free
It’s kinda lame going to a gym full of teenagers and out of shape ppl. I wanna see people to inspire me.
Even the pros was out of shape and were teenagers once.
@@charles3dart683no one wants to be in a gym full of annoying skinny kids if your in a gym with people who know what they are doing it helps you grow
so gym is not the place for teenagers and out of shape people that want to become better?
@@saretgnasoh7351no they should go to a pre gym to get in a respectable shape before attending real gyms, they lower the tone.
What
Boss😂😂
Nice sums it up
Humbles🙏🙏🙏
Funny shit Dorian 🤣
The people who can afford to pay never want to and the people that can't afford to pay have to 😢
It's a sign of respect to let mr olympia champions train at gyms for free
Mr Olympia Winners don't pay..they deserve that
@@Thermolizernot respect, marketing.
Bodybuilders aren't really that rich lol. They definitely value whatever expense is lowered by being able to train for free.
@@Thermolizerso all military vets should train for free. Or do they not get respect?
Damn, I worked out at Gold's in the late 80's and early 90's and it was only $30.00 for a month fee. Dorian well not only you shouldn't have to pay but they were trying to rip you the hell off.
Love this story
Yep,, It changed big time.
Girl did a good job by the way. She’s actually checking and getting manager. If I get me own gym I want a girl like that on my desk.
Girl was a casual lol
Haven't seen the name "Bev Francis" in a while. Seeing her or Dorian in a gym would be like spotting a great white at the beach. Definitely an "oh shit" moment.
The manager failed,he should have told his staff,”if you ever see the guy on this poster walk in,you best treat him like royalty” how in the hell do you work at a Golds Gym and not recognize the current Mr Olympia “the shadow”
manager turned out to be Ronnie.....
Pete Grymkoski, tim kimber, ed connors were the family owners venice golds gym from 1979 to 1999
The guys who can most afford it get in for free, seems a bit ironic to me
You might not know the history but once you're in the family of gold's gym it's free Joe gold used to demand that it's free for family... And that's all the pros especially the Olympians
@@gettupp
Before it went corporates down ceased to be a real hard-core GYM. Now Gold's is 🥱🥱🥱
@@gettupp yeah it is pretty cool that they do that for the pros,probably the least they should get for their sacrifices
You must think the world should be fair 😂
It's a respect given to Mr Olympia winners
At that time, I think it was 20 bucks for a guest workout. You're welcome
Now it's $50
They should've fired her
U didn't go to the gym. U r the gym 😅 massiv w.o.w
oh sorry the manager says you've got to pay now... 😝
Like every gym....
The fact staff in golds don't recognise durian Yates is a clear and present demonstration of how the mighty have fallen.
Of course I mean golds mot Dorian he's forever and eternal!
“I don’t know how to put this…..but…I’m kinda of a big deal around here.”
That's hilarious
Fair on both sides.
If work at a Golds gym and you don't know who Dorian Yates is,you no bussiness working there.
They did LEE PRIEST the same way..and he did the same thing lol..
These Gyms today have no respect for the Pro Bodybuilders that made the sport popular.🤔
