In one of the DVDs Coleman talks about how the owner Brian Dobson of this crappy gym "discovered" him. One day Coleman walked in and signed up for $29 bucks monthly membership. The owner guy is an amateur bodybuilder himself and spotted Coleman who walked in with 20" arms and veins on his quads visible through his pants - without ever having competed before. He immediately saw the potential in Coleman and told him "I think you could be a world champion".
The rest is history, 8 Olympia titles later Coleman still works out in that crappy gym although he could move to New York or LA and get paid nice checks to workout in the latest Gold- or Worldgyms. Yea, this brotha doesn't come with Arnold's personality, but you gotta respect his ethics and dedication.
