As a former gym owner and a current photographer, my love for old-school gyms has been cultivated over decades.
Being a gym owner in the early 1980s, my introduction and love for the gym culture was defined by the golden era of bodybuilding. We all have our own golden age, but for me it was the 1970′s. I, like many teenagers was influenced by the muscle magazines of that era, Pumping Iron (both the movie and the book), and the legendary photographers of that time.
The creation of my “Vintage Gym” is an homage to an era long since gone, it serves as my home gym as well as a photo set for my photography as well as others.
I am always looking to add “new” pieces, if you ever hear of any leads on equipment and ephemera, please give me a heads up.
Enjoy,
Brian Moss
