When I was at UCLA, Bronson Pinchot used to be a private student of Yefim Furman and I remember him coming to at least one UCLA Invite. Yefim’s boss with the adult gym program used to hold fundraisers for the men’s team and some of those clients were involved with the entertainment industry.
John Lithgow used to work out in the Wooden Center, and sometimes he’d pause at the doors of Yates Gym and check out what we were doing.
One of the Wayans family used to donate generously to our fundraisers at SMGC, each year (daughter was on team; mom took adult privates; I also taught some in-home privates to other family members).
In LA, a number of those in the entertainment industry are involved with gymnastics in one way or another, either through their own children taking classes, or they themselves taking adult classes.
