"It was a competitive process, and we're grateful to the leadership team for trusting us to bring industry-leading fitness facilities to Southern California and reintroduce more communities to the legendary Gold's Gym brand. Fitness is a way of life, and few understand that and exemplify it better than Gold's Gym."

Roknipour Investment Group brings extensive experience in property development and management along with deep roots in multi-unit franchising across the Los Angeles market.
