Bob Zuver finds “The Blob”

Almost two decades of commitment to an ideal has benefited Orange Countians with the opportunity for a better way of life, Bob Zuver, owner and president of Zuver’s Fitness Center Inc, started out in a simple garage in Costa Mesa 17 years ago with the belief that men and women have the right to enjoy life to its fullest. He dedicated himself and his business to fulfilling that right in the lives of hundreds and thousands through the years with the concept that to live right is to be fit, and that fitness is fun.

Today, over 1,000 of the highest quality items of exercise and gym equipment in the nation can be found in Zuver’s Costa Mesa factory showroom.

Zuver’s inspiration and motivation is sustained by the conviction that his business is not just for his own profit, but for the profit of the lives of others. Bob says, “I’ve seen so many men fight and scratch to get ahead in the business works, and when they make headway or approach retirement, they are two wasted to enjoy it because they didn’t take the time or have the discipline to invest in their health and fitness along the way.”

Beyond a doubt, the business man is a prime target for high blood pressure and heart attack. With a small investment, says Zuver, a business establishment can have the equipment necessary to build and maintain fitness and even the very life of its executives and sales representatives. In fact, all across the country more and more firms are setting up small fitness rooms for their employees. It has even shown to improve actual business performance.

Zuver’s Fitness Center is totally unique in the field of weight and gym equipment manufacturing. There are the only firm in the nation to—

  • Stock a complete line of highest quality equipment form light duty selectorized equipment to the country’s very best free weight equipment, used by the LA Rams for over four years now);
  • Custom build any piece of equipment;
  • Staff experts in weight training programs and nutritional guidance;
  • Offer free and complete training for individuals interested in setting up, owning and operating their own gym business.

Bob Zuver describes himself as a man of deep person conviction who “will never compromise service or quality” for the sake of profit. “My business is to give others the best life has to offer.”
