Arnie mourns fitness guru Joe Weider Arnie mourns fitness guru Joe Weider Life Sunday 24 March 2013 - 4:08am Arnold Schwarzenegger paid tribute to Joe Weider, calling him a "father figure" who helped him achieve the American dream. Los Angeles - Arnold Schwarzenegger paid tribute to fitness publisher Joe Weider after he died Saturday aged 93, calling him a "father figure" who helped Austrian-born Arnie achieve the American dream. Weider, who built a multimillion-dollar publishing empire that included Muscle and Fitness, Flex, Shape and Men's Fitness magazines, died of heart failure at his home in Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Times reported. Arnie called him the "godfather of fitness," saying: "Today, I lost a dear friend and mentor, and the world lost one its strongest advocates of living a healthy lifestyle. "Joe Weider was a titan in the fitness industry and one of the kindest men I have ever met," Schwarzenegger added, in a statement posted on his Twitter feed.

Weider was born in Montreal in 1920, and began bodybuilding as a young teenager to stand up to bullies in the gang-infested neighborhood where his family lived. He created the Mr Olympia event in 1965, and discovered Schwarzenegger at a body-building contest in Europe two years later, the LA Times reported. Schwarzenegger recalled how he heard about Weider even before he arrived in the United States, where he became a champion bodybuilder, Hollywood superstar and governor of California from 2003-2011. "I knew about Joe Weider long before I met him - he was the godfather of fitness who told all of us to 'Be Somebody with a Body.' He taught us that through hard work and training, we could all be champions," Schwarzenegger said. "As I read his articles in Austria, I felt that he was speaking directly to me and I committed to move to America to make my vision of becoming the best bodybuilder, to live the American dream, and to become an actor a reality. "Joe didn't just inspire my earliest dreams; he made them come true the day he invited me to move to America to pursue my bodybuilding career.

I will never forget his generosity," Schwarzenegger added. Weider's younger brother Ben, with whom he founded the International Federation of Body Building and Fitness in 1940 and spent six decades promoting the sport, died in 2008. Of his mentor, Schwarzenegger said: "One of Joe's greatest qualities is that he wasn't just generous with his money; he freely gave of his time and expertise and became a father figure for me." "He was there for me constantly throughout my life, and I will miss him dearly," Schwarzenegger added.

The younger brother, Ben, expanded their International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness, in their home town of Montreal, into a hugely profitable outfit and also became a philanthropist and renowned Napoleonic scholar. Joe, more flamboyant and a relentless self-promoter sometimes accused by rivals of harbouring a Napoleon complex, moved to California, where he kept the various Weider enterprises in the public eye. Joe has died aged 93. It was Joe who, in 1968, brought a relatively unknown Austrian bodybuilder, Arnold Schwarzenegger , to Los Angeles.

Legendary bodybuilder 'Mr Olympia' who introduced America to Arnold Schwarzenegger dies at 93 | Daily Mail Online comments Joe Weider, a legendary figure in bodybuilding who helped popularize the sport worldwide and played a key role in introducing a charismatic young weightlifter named Arnold Schwarzenegger to the world, died Saturday. He was 93. Weider's publicist, Charlotte Parker, told The Associated Press that the bodybuilder, publisher and promoter died of heart failure at his home in Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley. "I knew about Joe Weider long before I met him," Schwarzenegger, who tweeted the news of his old friend's death, said in a lengthy statement posted on his website. "He was the godfather of fitness who told all of us to be somebody with a body. He taught us that through hard work and training we could all be champions." Legend: Joe Weider with a young Arnold Schwarzenegger when he first introduced him to America A bodybuilder with an impressive physique himself, Weider became better known in later years as a behind-the-scenes guru to the sport. He popularized bodybuilding and spread the message of health and fitness worldwide with such publications as Muscle & Fitness, Flex and Shape.

Schwarzenegger himself is the executive editor of Muscle & Fitness and Flex. He created one of bodybuilding's pre-eminent events, the Mr. Olympia competition, in 1965, adding to it the Ms. Olympia contest in 1980, the Fitness Olympia in 1995 and the Figure Olympia in 2003. Joe Weider presents the prizes in a body building competition in the 1970s He also relentlessly promoted Schwarzenegger, who won the Mr. Olympia title a then-record seven times, including in 1980 and every year from 1970 through 1975. "Every sport needs a hero, and I knew that Arnold was the right man," he said. Weider brought Schwarzenegger to the United States early in his career, where he helped train the future governor of California as well as aided him in getting into business. Schwarzenegger also said Weider helped land him his first movie role, in the forgettable film "Hercules in New York," by passing off the Austrian-born weightlifter to the producers as a German Shakespearean actor.

"Joe didn't just inspire my earliest dreams; he made them come true the day he invited me to move to America to pursue my bodybuilding career," the actor said in his statement. "I will never forget his generosity. One of Joe's greatest qualities is that he wasn't just generous with his money; he freely gave of his time and expertise and became a father figure for me." Weider also mentored numerous other bodybuilders. Friends: This Oct. 25, 2003 photo shows then California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, right, raising the arm of Joe Weider, the creator of Mr. Olympia Bodybuilding competition, during the 39th annual Mr. Olympia event in Las Vegas Born in Canada in 1919, Weider recalled growing up in a tough section of Montreal. Just like the apocryphal tale of the skinny kid who starts working out after a bully kicks sand in his face, Weider said he was indeed a small, skinny teenager picked on by bullies when he came across the magazine Strength. He had tried to join a local wrestling team, he said, but was turned down by the coach who feared he was so small he'd be hurt.

Inspired by the magazine, he built his own weights from scrap parts found in a railroad yard and pumped them relentlessly. Word of his efforts got around and he was invited to join a weightlifting club. "When I saw the gym, saw the guys working out, supporting one another, I was mesmerized," he recalled. Mr Weider and Schwarzenegger in their glory days He won his first bodybuilding ranking at age 17, and soon after began to publish his first magazine, Your Physique. Later he started a mail-order barbell business, and in 1946 he and his younger brother staged the first Mr. Canada contest in at Montreal's Monument National Theater. At the same time, they formed the International Federation of Bodybuilders. In recent years, Weider donated much of his bodybuilding memorabilia to the University of Texas at Austin, which opened the Joe and Betty Weider Museum of Physical Culture in 2011. He is survived by his wife .
