Gym Convention. “As anyone knows, when Ginger calls you, the
response you need to give her is… YES”,
said Bryan. “I had been wanting to win
an award within the brand for years, but
the awards were given for things that

that Bryan and the Gold’s
Gyms of Houston, TX have
received many additional awards. In 2007, Bryan
was awarded Franchisee of
the Year at the Gold’s Gym
Convention. Gold’s Gym
