Arnold did not see the dream while sleeping, but it was one of his goals that people had laughed at in the 70s. He had a dream that one day there would be more than thousands of gyms and fitness areas in America and people had laughed at him because of this goal.

However, today this dream has come true, and he has helped make bodybuilding into a mainstream sport. He said, ?I think we?ve made incredible progress since the ?70s?back when I said that my dream was to have more gyms than supermarkets. People were laughing at me for that, and now we?re at a point where people are working out in every hotel, high school, all over.?
