MAY 22, 2000, CEDAR RAPIDS, IOWA--Legendary Coach Vince Lombardi believed in Universal Gym Equipment. It was the only weight-strengthening equipment he ever endorsed. Over the past forty-two years, the Universal name has become so much a part of the sports and fitness vocabulary that the name is synonymous with fitness equipment. "Universal" is used interchangeably the way people say "Kleenex" instead of "tissue" or "Xerox" instead of "copy." And there's probably not a professional athlete alive who hasn't used a Universal at least once..
