Don Saladino x Fitness Royalty

The Zaddy Zone

Don Saladino is fitness royalty. The man trained Hugh Jackman for Wolverine! He understands how to sculpt the best bodies in Hollywood, so naturally he’s a great resource for information on how to get in incredible shape.

As we get to know Don's journey, I’ll be asking how he and his clients train/diet. Tips for other coaches and entrepreneurs. We broach PEDs in the industry and the latest social media "enhancer" Liver King.

Don has coached actors, athletes, & musicians for over 20 years. He opened his first NYC Gym, Drive 495, in 2005. After operating brick & mortar gyms for 15 years, Don expanded to a global online fitness business. He has developed a reputation for training some of the biggest names in Hollywood for the big screen. Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, John Krasinski, Emily Blunt, Liev Schreiber, Sebastian Stan, Anne Hathaway, Jake Gyllenhaal, Hugh Jackman, & David Harbour are among his roster of clients.
