Diodatics Weight Training System was created by Ann Marie Diodati 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 yet 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 to do weight training. In a few years, he opened Diodati's Health Studio for men.

In 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 Mr. Canadas. 

In 1979, Joe opened the first weight training club exclusively for women in Canada. He trained his daughters, Linda and Ann Marie how to effectively teach women how to strengthen and sculpt their bodies. The members got amazing results!!  The women not only sculpted and toned their bodies, they efficiently and effectively burned body fat from the weight training programs.  Joe proved that weight training was more effective for the body than doing strictly aerobics or cardio workouts. 

Joe suffered an amazing loss when his health club was destroyed by fire and the insurance company was refusing to pay out his claim. It took Joe seven years to win the court case with the insurance company.

Yet, within those seven years Joe had a dream and saw thousands of Diodatics in a large warehouse. He knew it was a vision from God. He got up and got to work and made the prototype, won a patent and manufactured thousands of Diodatics. When Joe passed away, his prophetic dream came true, he had manufactured thousands of Diodatics and they were sitting in a large warehouse.

His daughter,  Ann Marie is now carry on his legacy and is teaching thousands of people how to safely weight train the Diodatics Way!!
