The body transformation of Ibai Llanos

Streamer and a leading name in digital entertainment, Ibai Llanos has built a real and sustained body transformation: strength training, cardio and habits held for months, with personal follow-up. A change in which consistency mattered more than speed.

Ibai Llanos trains with Barcelona Barbell Club, which provides him with its in-home personal training service: the club travels to him and sets the session up wherever he is. Those sessions are led by Álex Saiz, founder of the club and one of its personal trainers.

The approach is the same one applied with any client: strength training as the base, supporting cardio and habits held for months. Sessions are split into blocks, one upper body day and one leg day, with progressive overload reviewed week by week. No extreme methods and no impossible deadlines, because the point was for the change to last.

The relationship started with Reven, who was already training at the Glòries site. That is where the contact with the club came from and, later on, where the in-home service was taken on.

The story

Who Ibai Llanos is and why his change resonates

Ibai Llanos is one of the most influential figures in digital entertainment in Spain. Streamer, content creator and a household name, his life has always drawn interest, but in recent years one of the conversations that has attracted the most attention has been his body transformation. Far from treating it as a one-off makeover, Ibai has built a real, sustained and visible process in which consistency has mattered more than speed.

His progress cannot be understood without the people alongside him. During part of his travels across Latin America he trained in different countries and gyms, keeping the focus on moving forward without breaking the routine. In that context, the Barbell Club team established itself as a key reference point in his physical preparation and personal training.

A change with real foundations

Health, mobility and habits ahead of extreme fixes

The body transformation of Ibai Llanos is not the result of a miracle method or an extreme fix. Everything points to a far more intelligent approach: moving regularly, training strength, adding cardio and holding habits for months. His process began with the intention of improving health, mobility and general wellbeing, and walking daily was one of the first habits that made a difference.

That is exactly why his change has connected with so many people: most of us relate far better to realistic progress than to plans that are impossible to maintain. In his case, the transformation has advanced thanks to a system built on repetition, discipline and professional support, not on improvisation.

The routine

The training routine: structured strength and cardio

Ibai's training has not been built around random sessions, but around a clearly defined structure that combines strength training with cardiovascular work. These are two examples of his training days:

Upper body day

  • Bench press
  • Incline dumbbell press
  • Barbell overhead press
  • Vertical pulling
  • Lateral raises
  • Cable triceps extensions
  • Machine biceps curl
  • Finishing with a 5 km steady run

Leg day

  • Hack squat
  • Leg press
  • Leg extension
  • Machine hip thrust
  • Lying leg curl

This combination reflects sensible programming: strength work to keep and build muscle, plus a cardiovascular component that supports energy expenditure and improves general physical capacity.

The team

The professional team behind the process

Behind processes like this there is a professional environment based in Barcelona. The club has a specialist team led by Álex Saiz, founder and personal trainer, with an approach built on close, technical and well-structured guidance for every client. In a physical change like Ibai Llanos's, that figure is essential: it allows training, progression and habits to be adjusted coherently.

A coach matters not only for designing exercises but for keeping the process going: travel, changes of city, sessions in different gyms, constant adaptation and a working mindset that holds even when the setting changes. That follow-up is one of the reasons a body transformation can hold up over time.

The key

The value of consistency in a body transformation

One of the clearest lessons from his case is that a body transformation does not depend on doing it perfectly, but on doing it sustainably. Improvement arrives when training fits into real life: travel, commitments, filming days, schedule changes and days with very little margin. In that context, discipline counts for more than a burst of motivation.

The process also carries a powerful idea: you do not need to train chaotically to get results. With a well-designed routine, strength work, cardio and professional follow-up, progress becomes measurable and coherent. Ibai Llanos's transformation is a good example: a change that you can see and that also holds.
