George Doll (2/15/2015) I first met Bob Reis in Beloit WI. Back around 1978, I was working out in a gym in Beloit when he talked me into going to his gym he opened in Janesville WI, he was a great guy and a very good friend, I learned a lot from Bob and I still think of him now and then, he was a great influence on everyone he met.
melissa (1/31/2015) When his gym in reseda caught on fire, it was my husband and i that ran to rescue his trophys and awards.
Dr Joseph Michael (1/30/2015) Interesting that a lot of these newer bbers went on to have supplements named after them: Big Ron, Cutler, etc.
