Blake Lively couldn’t attend the 2023 Met Gala as she gave birth to her fourth child with her husband, Ryan Reynolds, a few months ago. But even though she didn’t appear at the event, the Gossip Girl alum has returned to the public eye with her surprisingly fit figure. All thanks to Don Saladino, her trusted trainer for ten years, who helped her in getting back into shape after giving birth to yet another child.

Saladino’s clientele is not just limited to The Age of Adaline actress only, but he is known to have worked with other Hollywood divas such as Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Cindy Crawford as well. The major reason behind his wide recognition is that he always instills good habits while letting his clients be consistent without sacrificing delicious foods. Recently, he unearthed a unique approach he followed while training Blake.

Changing the preconceived idea of starving to get a lean body, Saladino prefers his trainees to eat more. In fact, he is focusing more on building strength while eating a well-balanced diet, getting good sleep, and worrying less about the scale.

In fact, he also has a Train Like Blake program to help clients build lean muscle and burn fat without massive restrictions. He applies almost similar approach to most of his clients while training them. Mentioning their regime, Saladino shared, “These women understand the importance of being strong, and they understand the importance of getting in enough energy. They don’t starve themselves.”

Over the years, Don is leaning into his unique process of providing an athletic body even after eating ample food. “That’s what I’ve been doing with thousands of people now, teaching them, “Let’s try and put on muscle, you won’t look muscular, but you’ll have that lean, athletic body that you want,'” stated the trainer.
