His passion for fitness combined with his love of people quickly propelled him into big box gym management by the time he was 19 years old. During his career in gym management he grand opened some of the largest gyms in the California Bay Area. Currently, Sal is one of the most sought after experts in fitness and health with his effective, grounded and easy to understand style of communication.

His passion for fitness, health and people is unmatched and he is steadfast with his goal of making the fitness industry one that is a force for good, with long term health being the focus and not one that is riddled with diet pills, crash diets and false promises. A quote that Sal is often credited for summarizes his approach to fitness and health. “Exercise and eat right because you love your body, not because you hate your body.” In today’s episode, Sal and I discuss resistance training and why it is so important. He teaches the benefits of resistance training and the effect that it has on our body, and why it is recognized as one of the best forms of exercise as it impacts our metabolism, hormone health, insulin resistance, and more.
