Looking for photos of Golden Age gyms

[The Survivor]

I am just amazed at how much they trained barefoot back then. I wouldn't be caught dead walking around my gym barefoot

Someone who supposdly is in the ahem "know" told me that was all part of the script that they really didnt do that. I'll take it FWIW. Yes the athletes foot or other fungus you could pick up is nasty. I sometimes do calves in my socks for the stretch, but then again I run the place!!

I'll stick to wrestling shoes, but I see why you'd do it since it's your gym. If I cleaned the place myself then I'd probably consider training in socks on occasion. I mean I'll deadlift in socks if I forget my wrestling shoes, but it's on a platform not where people track mud and dirt everywhere
