Celebrity trainer Jono Castano hints at plans to open luxury gym in Melbourne with AFL superstar Dustin Martin
Celebrity trainer Jono Castano has hinted at his plans to open a luxury gym in Melbourne with AFL superstar Dustin Martin.
The 31-year-old revealed to the Herald Sun during the Melbourne Cup carnival last week his plans to expand his ACERO-branded gyms.
Jono explained how Dustin was training in his gym when he visited Sydney and he was planning to open a branch in Melbourne.

“When he’s in Sydney, Dusty goes down to the gymnasium and trains there. Fitness brings people together,” he said.
It comes after Dustin recently teamed up with Jono to launch his health and fitness app called Drip.
In an interview with the Herald Sun in July, the midfielder revealed how mindfulness has contributed to his success on the pitch.

“I think the more successful you are, the more distractions there are. Being able to stay focused on the things that made you great allows you to improve,” he said.
Dustin continued, “For me, mindfulness is something you have to be disciplined and work with – it’s a skill just like learning to kick a soccer ball.”
The talented footballer is featured on most of the training programs offered on the app and has hand-picked a team of coaches and athletes.
There are a variety of workouts focusing on HIIT, cardio, strength, yoga, and Pilates, to name a few, while classes on meditation and mindfulness are also available.

Dustin has made headlines for his change of frame, having lost 10kg since recovering from surgery for a lacerated kidney in July last year.
Medalist Brownlow was put on a strict fruit-only diet to help him recover after surgery. Fruit-based diets are regularly used to treat kidney trauma.
Richmond physical performance manager Peter Burge admitted in August that Dustin had “lost a bit of weight” due to the unusual nutrition program.
“He had to manage his diet [for his] health a bit over the past two weeks and will do so over the next three to four weeks as well,’ he said at the time.
“He is working with specialists and once he gets clearance from the specialists he will be able to return to some form of light training in the off-season.”
Dustin spent nine days in hospital after sustaining a kidney laceration in a brutal on-field clash with Brisbane player Mitch Robinson on July 16.
He missed the final month of the AFL season due to the injury.
