To further his career as a Coach, Tony moved from the Cleveland area when Starting Strength Cincinnati first opened to coach as an apprentice in the fall of 2021. He completed the coach prep course in late 2022 and achieved his SSC in March of 2024. Tony also has a background in physical therapy as a licensed PTA.

3 Reviews on “Antonio Maldonado, SSC”
From the first time I entered the gym Tony was nice and welcoming. During workouts he is equally attentive and encouraging. Making sure I am pushing myself hard during training, but not overdoing it. He is always ready to answer questions or give feedback on form.
I would recommend Tony for anyone who is interested in getting stronger!
I worked with Tony for 2 months and had a wonderful experience. Tony is very knowledgable and pleasant to work with. He is fully engaged, attentive and motivating. I would ask questions and Tony was very patient in answering them promptly. He was flexible in providing feedback and updating my weekly workouts. I made good steady progress throughout the 2 months and would highly recommend Tony to anyone who wants to do the SS program.
I had tried to do the starting strength program on my own two times in the past. First time I was younger and had medium success, the last time I was older and was not very successful. I decided to try online coaching and it was the best decision. Tony was able to correct my form and I felt the difference, lifts started to feel more controlled. He also adapted the programming to my own needs given I am not 27 anymore. That part was really important because he was able to see where I was and took me from there towards making progress. I highly recommend Tony if you want to get a personalized experience and improve your technique.
