LOS ANGELES (KNX) — Venice's "Muscle Beach" is ready to welcome back fitness fiends and audiences, following a city closure prompted by the coronavirus pandemic, city officials said Tuesday.
"The world famous Muscle Beach has officially reopened! Join us for our Ribbon Cutting Ceremony, a tour of the facility, and light refreshments," the Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks tweeted, announcing that a formal opening will be held next week.
Located right on the Venice Beach Boardwalk, the Muscle Beach gym is known as "the home of bodybuilding," and boasts the names of participants like Lou Ferrigno and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
"Bodybuilders and bodybuilding enthusiasts still flock to this outdoor gym to work out and be a part of the bodybuilding tradition," the city said on the gym's website, adding that it's been around since 1963.
"Muscle Beach Venice is open seven days a week except for major holidays and rainy days. Gym hours vary based on the time of year."

A ribbon cutting ceremony will be held at 10 a.m. on Monday to celebrate the gym's reopening on the Venice Boardwalk.
