Don Saladino Answers: Which Celebrity Has The Best Work Ethic In The Gym?

Don Saladino shares some insight into the hardest working celebrities that he's trained.
Celebrity transformations are nothing new, it's a great way to gain a lot of attention onto a film and can even be used to help win a few Oscars (though that is usually reserved for an actor who gains a lot of fat or gets dangerously skinny). But for the bodybuilding crowd, celebrity transformations into superhero muscle beasts is the most exciting. Just look at how much attention Kumail Nanjiani got when he revealed his shredded physique. But what did it take for these celebs to attain this kind of physique transformation? In our latest GI Exclusive interview, training coach Don Saladino reveals who the hardest working celebrities are in the gym based on his past celebrity training experience.
Don Saladino is a world renowned coach who has clients from all walks of life. While he wouldn't label himself as a celebrity trainer, many A list celebs have been in his client list for quite some time. Top names include the likes of Hugh Jackman, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Ryan Reynolds.
It's one thing to see the end results of these amazing celebrity transformations, but it's not very often you get an inside look at the transformation process. Sure, celebrities will post social media videos hitting a few sets. But what was it like for celebrities, some of whom might not focus fitness regularly, to go through the gauntlet?
We asked Don Saladino to share a little insider information. Who was the hardest working celebrity in the gym that he's trained? The answer might surprise you. Yes he mentions the likes of Ryan Reynolds - an actor who is known to maintain an incredible physique after his transformation over a decade ago. But more surprising names pop up including John Krasinski and most notably - David Harbour.
David Harbour had to transform his physique in order to take on the roll of Hellboy. But he also had some back problems that made it hard for him to jump confidently into training. Don Saladino describes the incredible progress they achieved together. Saladino believes that Harbour's transformation is probably one of the one's he's most impressed by. It's one thing to get an actor who is already in shape into better shape. It's a whole different beast entirely when the actor has previous injuries that need to be overcome.

The Rock hired real help when he gets jacked I Know he hired Farah and huh hires Palumbo. Don't know who he is but if I was an actor I would hire a bodybuilder trainer to know really how to look exactly a certain way.

[@TheHardTruth101]

Most actors don’t want to look like bodybuilders. So although most bodybuilder trainers know their stuff, the fact that actors don’t want to look like that will steer most away from hiring a bodybuilding trainer. This guy’s physique represents the look most of them are going for.

@@TheHardTruth101 No they won’t look like bodybuilders none of them do but some have to get in great shape for rolls that’s for the bodybuilding chemistry and all the other stuff comes in. He’s like the average guy in LA at the train people I was there before it’s been a lot of time there training you can train a lot of actors and stuff like that I’m talking about certain roles were they have to get big not a bodybuilder but they need a bodybuilder. Like the rock. Triple H, Mark Wahlberg, the guy from the fighter he was skin and bones and put on good Maura muscle for that in vain still was only like 180 pounds so this guy is full of it if he trying to say these actors don’t use performance-enhancing stuff for certain rules even the ones I get just a little bit in shape.
