Episode 46: Pivoting, Movement, & Generosity with Dino Malvone
“You are never too old. I am 41 and less than two years into my business. I don’t look and feel like everyone in the fitness industry but I am not going to let that get in my way… it’s never too late to do what you love to do.” — Dino Malvone
I can’t wait for you to LISTEN to this podcast with Dino Malvone. Put your headphones on and listen now!
Dino Malvone is the founder and CEO of SaltDrop, a fitness concept that warms the body and focuses the mind through beat-driven movement.
Our conversation starts with the way Dino serves, “I lead an experience that’s about finding joy.” He also shares about his brother who is disabled, “Never take for granted that you can move.”
He goes into what it means to modify in classes, “We are modifying because we are creating a deeper and more intimate relationship with our bodies and we are having fun while we are doing it.”
Dino talks about presence during his classes, “We are present in the moment for 1/2 hour , 45 minutes, or an hour. We get a chance to focus inward… instead of on our phone, or Slack or whatever.”
Dino tells us about his Instagram, which is his main platform and how he uses it to spread awareness, “my part is to be open and honest and to not shy away from conversations.”
He also shares how the free classes on @thesaltdrop Instagram were inspired by his father giving away garlic knots and fried dough at his pizza shop. “Generosity is a good foundation to begin.”
There are so many gems and delicious quotes in this podcast like this one:
“We all want to have a great looking ass, whatever that means to you.. but we also want to feel strong.”
I am excited to hear your thoughts!
Eat Well,
xo Chef Carla

From this passion, Dino founded SaltDrop, a boutique fitness concept that puts a premium on real authenticity, with knowledgeable instructors from around the world, leading relatable classes for folks worldwide, centered around extracting joy from movement.
