Loprinzi's Gym

Loprinzi's Gym
A look at Sam Loprinzi and his famous gym in the Portland, Oregon area. Loprinzi took great care in the equipment selection and layout of his gym which is why it was known as one of the top gyms in the country for many years. (I hear it's still in business.)

The pro-wrestler Jesse "The Body" Ventura used to train there early in his career and mentions that he benched 500 pounds for the first time while training at Loprinzi's place.

Loprinzi's gym also was one of the very first gyms in the country with a full set of Nautilus Machines.
