Here are some picture I took a month ago at Venice Beach showing Arnold's old gym This is an outdoor gym as .you can see was featured in the movie /documentary "Pumping Iron". The admission for general public to workout there is $10, it is totally worth it just for the historic significance behind it.

Photo shot with my Samsung Galaxy s5 active :
