Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with personal trainer and co-founder of Mind Pump Media, Sal Di Stefano, to get his hot take on all things fitness, mindset, nutrition, and motivation. In this episode, Sal shares how to make fitness a part of your daily routine without wasting too much time or energy. He also breaks down common misconceptions about resistance training, muscle-building, and fat loss.

Sal Di Stefano started as a trainer at the young age of 18. His passion for fitness and his love of people quickly propelled him to open some of the largest big-box gyms in the California Bay Area. At the age of 24, he opened a wellness-based fitness studio that offered hormone, nutrition, gut health specialists, and fitness trainers. During this time, Sal developed his behavioral-focused approach to helping his clients achieve long-term success and solve their most persistent problems with health and fitness.

Sal is one of the most highly sought-after experts in fitness, and his practical and easy-to-execute communication style. He is the co-host of Mind Pump Podcast, the world's number-one fitness and health podcast, and has been a guest on hundreds of top podcast shows and frequently speaks at trainer and health practitioner events.
