History

To be strong in body , mind and spirit is the greatest gifts to work and pray for.” Joseph Michael Diodati

Story Of The Diodatics Invention

Joseph Michael Diodati
Inventor of the Revolutionary Diodatics Weights

Diodatics Weight Training system was created by Ann Marie, to continue the legacy of her father, Joseph Michael Diodati, the inventor of the Diodatics Weights. He was born in 1929 in Sault Ste. Marie in Ontario, Canada and grew up as a skinny teenager who desired to have muscles and strength. He went to his doctor for advice and was told he would always be skinny.

Joseph did not accept his doctors advice and started to read every book possible about bodybuilding. He got a group of friends together and began weight training. In a few years, he placed fifth in The Mr. America contest and opened Diodati's Health Studio for men.

Over the next 50 years, he built the largest health club in Canada, opened the first weight training gym for women and invented and patented the Diodatics Weights. He taught thousands of people how to effectively and efficiently weight train for bodybuilding, weight loss, and overall good health. Joe was responsible for building up some of the strongest men in Canada.

Diodati's Health Studio held the powerlifting championship for seven consecutive years and produced several Canadian Champions.

Diodatics Weight Training System
Transform Your Fitness Journey with 45 Years of Expertise from Ann Marie Diodati-Ybarreta"

In 1979, Joe introduced Canada's inaugural women-exclusive weight training club. He meticulously trained his daughters, Linda and Ann Marie, in the art of effectively instructing women in weight training techniques, resulting in astounding transformations. Not only did the women sculpt and tone their bodies, but they also efficiently burned body fat through the tailored weight training programs. Joe's pioneering efforts conclusively demonstrated the superior efficacy of weight training over solely focusing on aerobics or cardio workouts for achieving optimal physical fitness.

Endorsed by Arnold Schwarzenegger

Joe had a dream one night and saw thousands of triangular shaped weights in a large warehouse. For years he was thinking of designing a new weight, but was unsure about the design of the weight, until he had the dream.

While the dream was still fresh in his mind, he got up and cut out a prototype. A few years later he won a US patent and manufactured thousands of Diodatics Weights.
