Sven Maldonado is a transformation specialist with over 20 years of experience helping clients build strength, discipline, and confidence—inside and out. A Brooklyn native and lifelong New Yorker, his journey into fitness began with a deep fascination for art and human anatomy, which naturally evolved into a passion for bodybuilding.

By the age of 19, Sven was training in some of New York City’s most hardcore gyms alongside elite athletes. His dedication and talent led him to compete at the national level, train with IFBB Olympians, and become one of the top trainers at David Barton Gym during its peak—an era known for producing some of the industry’s most respected professionals.

At Gym U, Sven brings that same high-level intensity and expertise to every session. His approach goes beyond physical results, focusing on complete transformation—physical, mental, and spiritual. He works best with clients who are ready to commit, push their limits, and do the work required to create lasting change.

If you’re serious about transformation, Sven is ready to lead the way.
