AUGUST 2019 / MUSCLE & FITNESS 127
Along with being a successful bodybuilder, coach/
trainer Miloš wanted more and turned his eye to owning
his first gym. KOLOSEUM GYM was destined to become
the new mecca of bodybuilding, with the chain taking
over the building that had originally housed GOLD’S
GYM. Although going through a name change and new
ownership, the GOLD’S GYM logo remained in various
positions, reminding you that (although you were in
Miloš’ very own gym), to many it would always be
GOLD’S GYM in Fullerton, California. Most people would
want to completely wipe out a former business’ identity
when taking over with their own brand, but with the
history that came with the building, why not embrace
it? Miloš did just that!
“The gym itself is pretty cool and very hardcore, on
two floors. With lots of equipment everywhere, it’s a
bodybuilder’s training paradise where you can grunt,
drop heavy weights, and be a true bodybuilder without
having to get hassled by someone who doesn’t like
to see you sweat”
This was a real review left by a former member before
the gym closed its doors with Miloš returning to Europe
to continue his personal training business. World
famous, the KOLOSEUM GYM logo adorned the pages
of major magazines as hardcore workouts were blasted
through and new champions were made under Miloš’
banner. Even if you never realised it, I guarantee you
that Miloš’ legacy has adorned your local gym at some
point. Often filled with pros and former pros, this place
was alive and kicking! Seminars and photo shoots were
a regular occurrence. Walking in and seeing your heroes
and idols going through their tortuous routines was
enough to inspire you to train that much harder, and
if you weren’t that kind of lifter then kick back with an
amazing protein fuelled smoothie and relax in one of
the many pieces of training apparel that all featured
the world famous KOLOSEUM logo!
