A Day In The Life In Los Angeles | Golds Gym Venice & Date Night

What's going on everyone? Welcome to Rob and Linda's LA trip extraordinaire. So we haven't been to LA in a couple of years and it is probably my favorite place in the whole world. When I started in the fitness industry, I I always actually kind of dreamed of living here, and I was actually very close to getting a visa. It actually got approved, and then the whole pandemic thing happened, and we haven't been here for years. So I remember one of the best days of my life. Newish to the fitness industry, trying to make a name for myself. I went to Gold's, you know, I met some cool people, a few subscribers recognized me, walked down to Venice Beach, I got a poke bowl, and I sat on the beach. And I know that sounds really simple, But I'll just never forget that day in particular. It was my first time here. It just felt magical and I just felt I was on the right path. So LA and Santa Monica and Venice particularly just has a big meaning to me. And this is our first day here. We just slept for probably 11 or 12 hours. We got in after an 11-hour flight. Got in at 9 and we just slept like just up until now. So I'm feeling amazing. So the plan for today is we're gonna go to Gold's Gym. It's gonna be my first time there in years. So like my reaction, like my training session is just gonna be like, wow, you know, I'm like, Did I make some gains? You know, did I not? I'm also interested in seeing what LA is like after the pandemic. Obviously the king, Joe Rogan, moved out of here. I've heard a lot of people moved out of here, and New York too. It looks fine outside the window, but I'm kind of interested to see, you know, what the vibe is like with the place there. So I'll be sure to give you guys some feedback on that.

But right now, cough, Nitro Cold Brew.

Nitro Cold Brew, say it again.

Nitro Cold Brew.

It's our favorite thing and you can't get it anywhere else apart from America. So come watch me be extremely happy about a cup of coffee. The Americans watch this and they're probably like, is he alright? Go-to Starbucks order when we're in America, as Louis would call it, it's an everyday bro. We get the Nitro Cold Brew. Take a sip out because it's beautiful on its own. So good. Now you got a little bit of room, you got a little room to play with, you know what I mean? So 2 stevia because we're keeping it all natural. Just a little shot of skinny milk. Look at that, look at that! It's like a lava lamp. It's like a caffeinated coffee lava lamp. That's a wholesome hearty breakfast right there. It's like 10 calories in it. So one of the greater pleasures in life is American grocery stores. There's just so much going on, including Ghost energy drinks, which I cannot get in Spain. They've got to be sent to me. There's just so much to look at. Like, like, another example is this, okay? It's just like, it's so American. Chips ahoy! Nutter Butter, Cheez-Its. I'm just so happy to be here. Always a huge protein bar selection. Twinkies. This is, this is crazy. So we're gonna get a can of Ghost, and then we're nearly at Gold's Gym. Should be there in about 5 minutes. So we just walked down from the hotel, and then we're gonna hit an epic session. I'm so excited. I was gonna say like what I was gonna hit, but I'm literally just gonna go in and just try out every machine that I've missed. I'm gonna be honest, you know, sometimes you gotta just have a little bit of fun when you're training. This is insane. This is usually the entrance into Gold's. Now it is an outdoor part of the gym, which is great. They've obviously expanded it, make it way bigger. Obviously during the pandemic they have to kind of move it outdoors. Same with the gyms in Marbella. I don't know where the entrance is, but we're gonna find it. We're gonna work out. Okay, it's here. All right, so every time I'm in America, the weights are in pounds, so I have to do a little bit of quick maths to figure out what I'm lifting. But it always ends up with me lifting more and setting a personal record by knowing it's on the head. So, okay, I think we're gonna go for 135 pounds in each hand. So let's see. Or 130, we'll do 130. Okay, let's see how this feels. Oh my God. Okay, I think this is like— I think this is like 60 kg. It feels like it. Alright, let's give it a crack. Figure out what it is, put it up on screen. Keep going.

How are you feeling to be back in Gold's?

It's the best, you know, like I love Athlean-X still, I think that is the best gym in America, but this is just, it's different, it's like a movie, it's like you feel surreal when you're here. You spend all day here, you got the Ocean Beach, I beat the soundtrack playing in the background. It's just so good. And then you walk outside, you whip off your stringer, hit a few chest dips. For me, like when I started out in the fitness industry, like this was the goal for me and now I'm living it. Like, so every day I feel like I'm just getting started, you know? Every day I feel like it's the beginning. It's just, it just thrills me. It's like, I just appreciate everyone who's watching this video right now, everyone who's following the journey. Just appreciate it so much. So let's get it. So a little classic tip, you want to hit your chest more on dips, hold your knees up like this. It kind of tilts you forward, there's less tricep and it's more of a chest press, like so. Oh my God, this is the best arm machine ever. It could be better if I do one at a time. Yeah, so All right guys, so just finishing off day 1 in goals with a little bit of cardio. Also, because I'm such a hypebeast, I had to try out Logan Paul and KSI's drink. Usually I would opt for Ghost Hydrate, but, um, I was just kind of curious. Yeah, it is— I'll say it is very, very good. It's kind of like Powerade Zero. Ingredient profile is good as well. Clearly not a sponsored post, but hey, just something to tell YouTube scene I'm interested to try it. Yeah, so I'm doing cardio. I am 17 minutes in. I'm gonna do about 30 minutes. After like a big plane journey, it's just a bit of cardio, sweat it all out, a gym session. It feels so good. And afterwards we're gonna find a nice little brunch spot to eat. For this week, our hotel, it does not have a kitchen, and this is kind of our little like holiday of the summer. The two of us are going to do a bit of— of course I already went there with Mike and Louie and the boys. So this is our little couple's retreat, our little couple's getaway. Yeah, so we're just gonna have a really nice time. We're gonna keep it healthy and we're gonna keep it active. We're gonna go to gym pretty much every day. How could we not? But, uh, we're also going to eat out and enjoy ourselves, maybe go for a few drinks coming up to the weekend. Then again, we also got a big weekend with Alphaland next week, so it's good times. I just can't wait to start pumping out the vlogs once again. I'm in the right place for it. It would be rude not to. So finishing up here, 15 more minutes, and I'll see you guys for lunch. Workout done, and we are at the iconic Firehouse Cafe. So this is somewhere that Arnold Schwarzenegger, a lot of other famous bodybuilders, especially like the '70s and '80s, will go to for a good post-workout meal. And they even still have the bodybuilders menu on the menu. So we just ordered a breakfast burrito with egg whites and then a turkey scramble again with egg whites because it's like still 10 AM, so we didn't want to get like a big piece of meat just yet. So we just ordered like a load of eggs. I'll show you when I arrive, but it's definitely going to be like a lot of protein, relatively low carb apart from the wrap and the breakfast burrito. But I'm very excited. Also sipping on some water as well. That's just what we needed after like a long day of travel. Just wake up in the morning, have a coffee, fasted gym session again, just something I like doing, and just 30 minutes of cardio. It's just sweat it out. I'm feeling so good to be back. And also like, people were making out as if like Venice and LA was like the Walking Dead and was gone to shit and it was all crazy people everywhere. Pretty much the same as when I was here in like 2018 and '19. Nice crowd, a few people coming up to me in the gym saying hello. It's all good. Perfect, thank you very much. Cheers. Okay, so thank God we are sharing the breakfast burrito. It's gonna be healthy, egg whites, a small, small healthy burrito. This is like the size of a small child. It is huge. The turkey scramble though, that looks excellent. That looks very macro-friendly. So we're gonna eat this now. It still looks insane, and the fact that we're splitting it, it's all good. We're gonna survive. It looks like there's a lot of protein as well. So actually, I'm gonna take a bite of the breakfast burrito because I want to know what's in it. I'll vlog. Okay. All right.

Yes, I'll video you. Do you cut it? Do you pick it up?

I'm doing an operation, so we'll cut it in half.

There's chicken in it too.

Yeah. Oh no, that is unreal. To be fair, that is, that's pretty healthy. That's, it's pretty high protein.

What's the sauce on it?

I think it has guac.

Oh yum.

Okay, I'm gonna do a little bite. So this is half is mine. Oh, egg whites. Wow, that's amazing. Right, so post-workout meal consumed. Now we're going for a walk down Venice Beach, and I love it so much, like the people watching It's so entertaining, the vibe. It's just such a wacky place. Weather's amazing too. But now we are heading to look for a sneaker shop, sneaker store, um, because I need a pair of like proper gym shoes. All I brought on this trip was a pair of Alexander McQueens and these Yeezys that I've had about 2 years, and I put them in the washing machine like every 2 weeks to keep them white, so they're very worn down. So I need like a good pair of like Nikes or something. But, uh, yeah, so let's go sneaker shopping. Alright, so that last place was a little bit hypey, didn't have anything that I could kind of like run around, go to the gym in. So I went somewhere down the road, I think it's called Shoe Palace. Either way, I saw these, they match my tank top, really nice white and fresh. They're VaporMax, which I kind of love as well, and I haven't had this exact pair before. And took them right off shelf, my size, so it's a sign. Hello! Hello! Look, gotta have fresh pair for summer.

They're so nice, they're so clean.

Yeah. Tie my shoes. So for a little bit of dessert, we've gone for a protein bar, another vitamin water. I'm just addicted to these, they're so good. Get some vitamins in as well. I'm just gonna eat this, walk back to hotel. We are back from the shoe store. Drop a comment below what you think of them. Do you hate them? Do you love them? Let me know what you think. I won't be offended either way. And then Linda got the classic all-white Nike Cortez. We're feeling so fresh with new runners. Like, I can't be going to Gold's and then I'll fly and— what, I had a fresh pair? Well, nice. So I'm gonna hop on my laptop, set up a base over here because we're gonna be here for a full week. Gotta keep things ticking over. We're gonna chat for a little bit. I'm gonna get a haircut. I badly need a fresh fade. You know how we do it on this channel, it's fade in every video. And then we're going for dinner tonight in the Santa Monica Proper Hotel. The Santa Monica Proper Hotel. So I'll see you guys in a bit. And we are ready to go for dinner. We are going to the Santa Monica Proper Hotel. We're going with one of Linda's friends from Australia, Sarah Scara. When was the last time we were with Sarah?

We were with her in Ibiza.

Ibiza. So we're getting the crew back together. It's going to be amazing. This is our first kind of little dinner and drinks out. We've been here about 2 days, 3 days. This is the third day. I've just been smashing the gym and eating healthy, nutrient-dense food, so we're feeling very fresh. But we're also gonna have a nice little night too, because we are on like our summer holiday as well. Obviously I have shoots with Ghost and Half Fleet and everything next week, so I want to stay on point, but you also do got to have some fun as well. So let's go to Santa Monica proper hotel. Linda is looking amazing. What's the outfit here? We got House of CB.

I'm standing on your Yeezys.

Oh God.

We have a House of CB corset and a little Zara skirt with Zara heels too. Lovely, very comfortable. The hairband, we're liking.

I like the hairband. I've never seen you wear a hairband before in my life. So let's go, let's go. So we are in the Santa Monica Proper Hotel, and this place is actually renowned for its interior design, okay? And ever since beginning the journey with Bill Lipsett, I've just been looking at all the furniture, the lamps, everything, all the interior design. I'm getting a lot of inspiration here. So we're gonna go upstairs roof top bar, get a little cocktail before dinner. I'll see you guys in a bit. All right guys, so we're finishing off with steak and espresso martini. You got to live a little, we're on holidays. So these are my, my two dates for tonight. There you go. So we got Sarah, Linda. Cheers guys. Well, long What a way to finish off the vlog. Hope you guys enjoyed day 1 of LA. See you in the next one. Keep it real. I love you all. Have a good one. I love you guys. See you in the next one.
