Rest in Peace Mr. Joe Weider


Photo: Joe Weider passed away this weekend. Probably the most influential person of all time in the health and fitness industry. He developed a lot of things we take for granted.



On Saturday, Mar. 23, the world lost Joe Weider, the creator of the bodybuilding empire that founded Arnold Schwarzenegger, after he died from heart failure. At 93, Joe Weider sadly passed away on Saturday, but the world is not yet moving on. Celebrities have begun tweeting their sadness and condolences to the king of bodybuilding. It all began with an official statement from Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Joe Weider created a full empire; he created dietary supplements, competitive muscle-building contests and several muscle magazines – Muscle and Fitness, Flex, Men’s Fitness and Shape.

Even though he’s passed away, he will be remembered for not all the great things he did, but all the great people he influenced.


Joe Weider, RIP
