Jono Castano was furious on Monday when an internet troll messaged an LGBTIQ+ support group from a fake account pretending to be him.
The celebrity trainer shared a video to Instagram, explaining how the troll contacted the Rainbow Recovery group and told them they weren’t welcome at his Acero Gym.
‘I’m so f**king angry that there are people out there writing this and pretending to be Acero gym and writing such a hateful message,’ Jono, 33, said.
‘Trying to bring a positive community down for absolutely no reason. I will find this person.’
‘You do not do things like this. That’s f**ked up. You don’t do this. I’m an ally, I love the community,’ he continued.

‘And this is the type of sh*t that happens when you’re doing great things. You’ve got a positive community, you do so many good things and there’s people out there that are hating. May advice is keeping smashing it and let them keep hating.’
He also shared a photo of the cruel message, which read: ‘Friendly reminder that we don’t welcome you filthy f****ts near our facility.’
‘We served high end customers with connections all over Australia. Remain far away so your disease doesn’t make our gym filthy.’
He also posted a photo of a message he received from a member of the community, informing him of the cruel email.
‘I represent a community group in Surry Hills, a place where the LGBTIQ+ community can meet to discuss addiction. We just received this message from you,’ they wrote.

It comes after Jono opened up about his new journey to fatherhood and confessed it came with a fair bit of anxiety.
The celebrity personal trainer was in the delivery room when his model girlfriend Simone Holtznagel gave birth to their daughter Gia last month.
‘I was super stressed seeing Sim in labour. I kept swearing,’ he told this week’s Stellar magazine.

‘But once [Gia] came out, it was definitely a massive joy and even sitting here with her now, there is no stress of life. Everything else, I’m just like, “f*ck it”‘.
Simone, 30, says the pair wept together once their daughter was in her arms.
‘I cried, obviously we all cried. I knew it was going to be hard, but it was nothing like what you could ever prepare for, or at least I felt like that,’ she said.
‘It was just so overwhelming. It didn’t feel real, it felt like a dream. I’m just so glad she’s here’.
