About Ralph

Health and Fitness

Ralph A. Salamone has been involved in the health and fitness field for over 40 years. A lifelong physical culturist and athlete, Ralph has been performing, studying, researching, and coaching most of his life. A trumpet player by trade, Ralph found out early on that the trumpet can be perceived as an athletic endeavor. It was apparent that the more he could learn about the human body the better trumpet player he would be. Thus he was able to indulge his two obsessions, trumpet and fitness. This ultimately led to the writing of his first book, TRUE POWER, TRUMPET.

After learning at the knee of the master, Gary Null, for two years, Ralph embarked on intense Masters and Doctoral work in Kinesiology, Physiology and Nutrition. With thousands of health and trumpet students over the years, Ralph has fine-tuned his philosophy to create the TRUE POWER LIFESTYLE. No matter what your age, lifestyle or vocation we urge you to treat your life like the athletic endeavor it is and spend it as a TRUE POWERHOUSE!
