Bill Pearl

Bill Pearl was one of the early leaders of bodybuilding. A quality person that set his own path. I have his book Getting Stronger, which I still refer to. He will always be one of the greatest.

Pushed boundaries and made people believe in the impossible. Awe inspiring in every way. Sending sincere condolences to his family and friends His contributions to the body building community is unmatched.

Will be remembered in the body building world.

I had the privilege of of becoming a gym member at the LA gym at the age of 21. I was also trained by his brother Harry Pearl. I would like to give condolences to the family and The family will always be in my heart and prayers.

My competition years were brief but triumphant in the early 1980’s, mostly inspired by Arnold. Forty years on and I have found new inspiration in you to train harder than ever. RIP Bill. Gary Quinn - England

My condolences to the family. May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

My Condolences.

Inspired a lot of other bodybuilders.

I dropped out of Fresno High School and moved with my mom to Sacramento to workout at Bill's gym in early 1950's.

An award winning body builder, so dedicated to his sport. Sincere condolences to the Pearl family, may God be with you all, so very sorry loss.

I had the honor of meeting Bill Pearl in 2000 in Atlanta when he was the Life Fitness spokesman . He was every bit as impressive as you read about , still muscular , looked 25 years younger than he was { he was 70 at the time } , and made you feel like you were his best friend when he spoke to you . Perhaps the most proportioned physique of all time that was as strong as it looked , and the author of "Keys to the Inner Universe" the greatest bodybuilding exercise manual ever written to this day . The world lost a great man this week , may God bless you and your family .
