This isn’t a competition. It’s a commitment.
Each day is programmed to improve body composition, build strength, improve movement quality, and push performance—with a mix of traditional lifts, tempo work, athletic drills, and core-focused accessories.
“Real results are built with Micro-Momentum. The idea that big, sustainable progress comes from the accumulation of small, manageable actions done consistently over time. It’s not about giant leaps. It’s about stacking small wins every single day. One workout, one healthy meal, one good night’s sleep… they add up. Focus on the little things consistently, and you’ll build real, lasting results that go far beyond quick fixes.” — Don Saladino
RYAN REYNOLDS
“If there is one thing Don Saladino will get you… he will get you results. He knows what he is doing - that guy!”
BLAKE LIVELY
“Turns out you can’t lose the 61 pounds you gained during pregnancy by scrolling through IG & wondering why you don’t look like the bikini models. Thanks Don Saladino for kicking my A double S into shape. Feeling very proud.”
SEBASTIAN STAN
“I’ve been working with Don through years of self judgement & mental wars when it comes to fitness & life, & today I’m acknowledging the hard work we’ve done. Proud of what we’ve accomplished pal! Love you.”
Every month, one Challenger is chosen as the Winner. It’s never just about who looks the leanest or lifts the heaviest. I choose our Monthly Winner based on dedication, consistency, and your personal journey. I want to hear the real story behind your effort:
Did you show up on the days you didn’t feel like it?
Did you push through setbacks?
Did you support others and lead by example?
Your transformation is about so much more than physical change — it’s about the mindset and commitment you bring every day.
The Winner will receive:
A private 30-minute Zoom call with me
$400 in Thorne Supplements
$100 credit to spend in my merch store

I get this question all the time—and the answer is simple: ACCESS.
My Monthly Challenges are the most immersive way to train with me.
Here’s what sets them apart:
+ Daily access to me in our private group — ask questions, get feedback, and stay accountable.
+ Weekly live Zoom calls — Live Q&As
+ Community energy — we all start and finish together, so you're supported every step of the way.
+ Real-time coaching experience — it's like having me in your pocket for 4 straight weeks.
My standalone programs are amazing if you want to train at your own pace. But if the challenge start date works with your schedule, always choose the challenge—you’ll get the highest level of coaching and connection.
You will receive a welcome email with a link to join a private Facebook group. The group provides, support, accountability, & motivation. Monday-Friday, I answer every question in the group. EVERY QUESTION!! The FB Group is optional. You don’t need to join to participate in the Challenge, but it is a great bonus.
I host weekly Zoom calls for the challengers. Each week there is a focused topic. I will highlight a specific theme, trend, or industry topic that’s generating buzz or confusion, and I’ll be diving in to provide clarity and debunk myths. There is a live Q&A after the topic is discussed.
Zoom Calls are optional with time zones & work schedules they won’t work for everyone.
In my opinion, the best part of the Challenge is the COMMUNITY! There are Challengers from over 80 countries & growing every day!
My Challenges are for everyone! All skill levels are welcome & encouraged. Each Challenge includes a gym program & a dumbbell-only program. So you can grind it out at the gym or at home with a set of dumbbells.
Due to the nature of digital products and immediate access, all sales are final and non-refundable. Please make sure you have reviewed all program details before purchasing.
Upon purchase, you receive immediate access to the Don Saladino App, your program, the nutrition guide, the supplement guide, and the macro guide. Because these materials are delivered digitally and available instantly, we are unable to offer refunds on any programs.
If you are unable to start or complete your program right away, you have flexibility — your challenge program will remain in your app account for calendar year, so you can complete it on your own schedule.
If you have any questions about your program or need assistance with access, please contact our support team. We’re here to help you get the most out of your training experience.
