Spend 6 nights/7 days exploring the heart of Sicily through adventure, culture, and unforgettable food.
This Palermo-based fitness adventure is a rhythm you fall into—each morning starts with a workout, followed by espresso, laughter, and sun-soaked streets. Explore Palermo by foot, discovering hidden courtyards, buzzing markets, and centuries-old landmarks, then cruise the turquoise waters of Castellammare del Golfo, snorkeling and swimming beneath towering cliffs. Wander the medieval streets of Cefalù, make pizza with Sal’s cousin, and stroll a local fishing village at sunset. The journey ends at Sal’s family countryside home, moving your body, making homemade sauce and pesto, and breaking bread together as family—leaving Sicily unforgettable.
Sal was born in the sun-soaked landscapes of Sicily and raised in the bustling energy of New York, giving him a unique perspective that blends old-world charm with modern vitality. From an early age, Sal developed a love for staying active, whether exploring the outdoors, playing sports, or finding creative ways to challenge himself physically. This passion for movement naturally evolved into a career dedicated to helping others lead healthier, more vibrant lives.
Today, Sal lives in St. Petersburg, Florida, where he founded Vitality Fitness, a brand built on the principles of energy, balance, and wellness. Through Vitality Fitness, Sal inspires clients of all levels to push past their limits, embrace an active lifestyle, and cultivate both physical and mental strength. Beyond his professional life, Sal is known for his infectious enthusiasm, approachable teaching style, and genuine love for connecting with people.
Of course, life isn’t all workouts and training—Sal has a deep appreciation for the simple pleasures, like sharing a perfect slice of pizza with friends and family. His Sicilian roots and love for food, fitness, and community come together to make him not just a trainer, but a guide, mentor, and friend to everyone he meets.
