Sal picked up his first weight at the age of 14. 4 years later Sal walked into his local 24 Hour Fitness gym and applied to be a personal trainer. He quickly became a top performer and, at the age of 19 was promoted to the position of general manager with as many as 40 employees working under him.  At the age of 22, Sal became an entrepreneur. He opened a wellness and personal trainer facility that offered one on one training, massage therapy, nutritional counseling, hormone testing and acupuncture. At the age of 28 Sals health took a bad turn. The years of training his own personal body with excessive amounts of intensity in the pursuit of more muscle combined with the abuse of supplements caused his body to rebel. This forced Sal to change his personal approach to fitness. He healed his body and changed how he communicates fitness and health and was re-invigorated with a new sense of purpose.  At 33 years old Sal met Doug Egge who became his client. They formed a close friendship and together they created the first Maps program. Sal was the designer of the workout plan and Doug created the marketing material behind it. Their goal was to shatter the failed muscle building workout ideas that Sal had personally witnessed as entirely ineffective. 2 years later Sal met Adam and Justin and together with Doug they started Mind Pump. The goal with Mind Pump is simple...bring quality fitness and health information to the masses with integrity and honesty.
