    • Eugen Sandows School of Physical CultureEugen Sandow's School of Physical Culture

    There are a lot of strength history "firsts" associated with Eugen Sandow - one of those "firsts" is that he established the very first commercial gym franchise.

    Im 1900, Sandow opened five of his Schools of Physical Culture in London, with others in Manchester and Liverpool. Pictured above is Sandow's School of Physical Culture, 185 Tottenham Court Road, circa 1901.

    Notice sets of Globe Barbells, Dumbbells and Chest Expanders along each wall.
