January’s Resolute Challenge
TRAINING PROGRAM
This 5-day training program delivers the perfect blend of strength, athleticism, and hypertrophy. Day one emphasizes heavy lower body strength, day two targets heavy upper body strength, day three focuses on arms, abs, and intervals, day 4 introduces dynamic speed based on lower body work for power and hypertrophy, and day five finishes with high volume upper body training.
Every session incorporates mobility and movements through the sagittal, frontal, and transverse place so the body continues to perform and function like an athlete. Phase 2 starts during the 4th week. The exercises, sets, & reps will progress during this phase keeping the training fresh and engaging.
TRAINING SPLIT
Day 1: Lower Body Strength
Day 2: Upper Body Strength
Day 3: Arms, Abs + Conditioning
Day 4: Dynamic Lower Body
Day 5: Volume Upper Body
NUTRITION PLAN
The January Challenge includes a complete 6-week Elimination Diet designed to help you reduce inflammation, reset your system, and start the year feeling clear, energized, and in control. This is not about restriction. It is about removing common inflammatory triggers for a short window so your body can calm down, heal, and show you what foods help you feel your best.
This plan works for both macro counters and intuitive eaters. If you track macros, I show you exactly how to structure your days. If you prefer to eat intuitively, you will follow simple guidelines that focus on real food, balanced meals, and how your body actually feels.
To make this easy, you also receive 30 recipes that fit the full 6-week framework. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and shakes/snacks. Sneak Peek of the Elimination Diet

Access to Don & Year-Round Structure
Every quarter you train directly with Don for six weeks. Between challenges, you can move into a recommended program so your progress never stalls. The challenge builds momentum and the programs sustain it. Together, they give you a simple system that works all year long.
It’s Time To Get Back On Track!
Maybe you’ve been…
In the same cycle of starting strong and falling off.
Training without a clear structure and no-one to guide you.
Feeling tired, frustrated, or unhappy with how you look or feel.
Trying programs that are too rigid, too complicated, or simply not built for your life.
This Is Where You Get Unstuck
Don is a coach you can actually access. Someone who answers your questions, helps you adjust when life gets busy, and keeps you accountable. That’s what this online fitness Coaching Community is built around: Direct access to Don and a clear structure so no matter where you’re starting, you’re set you up for long term success.
Inside the Coaching Community Experience
Each quarter, I host a new 6-week training program. You get a complete workout program, a nutrition plan, daily support in our private coaching group, and three group Zoom calls with me.
You are not doing this alone!
You are training with me, inside a community that keeps you accountable and helps you stay on track when life gets busy.
Whether you want to improve body composition, build strength, recover smarter, or finally stay consistent, this community coaching program gives you the structure, coaching, and accountability you have been looking for.
Results you can see. Confidence you can feel.
Prizes you can win!
HOW IT WORKS
Every Challenge, two Challengers are chosen as the Winner. It’s never just about who looks the leanest or lifts the heaviest. I choose the Winners 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?
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

If This Sounds Like You,
You’re in the Right Place:
You need accountability and a plan built by someone who actually coaches.
You want to feel stronger, leaner, and more energized.
You’re a busy parent or professional who needs workouts that fit your life.
You want support, not pressure.
Want a sustainable lifestyle, not a quick fix.
You want expert guidance on training, nutrition, and recovery so you’re not guessing on your own.
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.

Nope! Start where you are. Our Coaching Community uses the name "Challenge" to mark the six-week structure and communal start date, it's not an indicator of advanced difficulty. This program is designed to meet you exactly where you are, whether you're a busy professional needing efficient workouts or an experienced lifter who wants to advance their training.
-
The biggest difference between the Coaching Community and my programs is access.
With the Coaching Community, you get daily support from me in our private group, live Zoom coaching calls, and the accountability of a group that starts and finishes the 6-week Challenge together. It’s a real-time coaching experience.
Standalone programs are great if you prefer to train on your own schedule, but if the quarterly start date works for you, the Coaching Community gives you the highest level of guidance, support, and connection. -
Every program purchase includes app access, a downloadable eBook, and a desktop dashboard (just use the same login as your app account).
You can follow your workouts however works best for you, on your phone, on your computer, or straight from the PDF.
-
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.
-
This is your time to connect with me face to face and ask me anything related to fitness, nutrition, or staying consistent. We can also talk about general health and lifestyle topics like sleep, stress, recovery, mindset, and daily habits that support your goals.
These calls are a great opportunity to connect with the community, hear from others working toward similar goals, and gain motivation and accountability through shared experiences.
Each session is one hour long and not recorded, creating a comfortable space to speak openly and get real-time feedback.
Zoom Calls are optional with time zones & work schedules they won’t work for everyone. -
All skill levels are welcome & encouraged.
Each Challenge includes a gym program & a dumbbell-only program. You can follow the program in a full gym or with a dumbbell setup at home. Everything is delivered through my app, with an eBook and desktop access if you prefer to print or view on a computer. -
Due to the nature of digital products and immediate access, all sales are final. Please make sure you have reviewed all program details before purchasing.
Upon purchase, you receive immediate access to the Don Saladino App, the printable 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 program will remain in your app account for 500 days from the date of purchase, 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.
