Last week, Arnold shared a snap from his 12-mile bike ride, posing by the Gold’s Gym where he filmed the 1977 docudrama, Pumping Iron.

‘I love stopping on my 12 mile bike rides to enjoy some of my fantastic memories,’ he captioned the image. ‘When I ride by the original Gold’s where we shot Pumping Iron in 1975, I can almost hear the weights clanging around and smell the sweat.

‘I can feel the joy of the friendships I built here. It’s so important to remember where you came from, and all of the people who helped you along the way.’
