Reven's physical change: training, consistency and results
Reven (Antonio Pino), one of the best known faces in streaming and eSports in Spain, achieved a real body transformation in two years: from 75 to 84 kg with more muscle, better body composition and more energy. No shortcuts, just strength training and professional follow-up.
Two years of consistent work
Who Reven is and why his case stands out
Reven, whose real name is Antonio Pino, is one of the best known faces in streaming and eSports in Spain. His popularity grew through Twitch, YouTube and top-level competition, and over time he became a public figure followed by thousands of people. His personal progress has also drawn interest well beyond the gaming world, especially his physical change and the transformation he achieved alongside Álex Saiz and his team in Barcelona.
Reven's case stands out because it was not a quick transformation, nor one based on extreme fixes. Quite the opposite: it is the result of two years of consistent work, with a realistic, progressive and well-planned approach. The starting point was a body weight of 75 kg, and the goal was never simply to go up or down on the scales but to improve body composition, build muscle mass and feel better overall.
Body recomposition, not just weight loss
One of the most interesting aspects of this process is that it did not treat body weight as the only metric. Rather than chasing dramatic swings, the work focused on body recomposition: losing fat, building muscle and constructing a more solid, functional physique. That kind of change needs patience, follow-up and a well-structured routine, in line with the strength training methodology that guides our work.
Consistency was the key. Over this period, Reven trained an average of three days a week, a frequency that shows you do not always need endless sessions to get visible results. What mattered was the quality of the plan, the continuity and the progression. That combination let his body evolve steadily, without depending on peaks of motivation or temporary fixes.
Strength training as the base
The foundation of Reven's physical change was strength training. This approach is essential when the goal is to reshape the body, build muscle mass and achieve a more athletic look. In his case, the routine was not only about aesthetics but also about more energy, better day-to-day performance and a general sense of being stronger.
Training strength with clear progression, in loads, sets and reps, is what turns effort into measurable results. The programming was matched to his level and his goals, combining the basic lifts with accessory work to correct imbalances and maximise performance.
Álex Saiz: programming and professional follow-up
Álex Saiz, founder of the club, is the personal trainer who led this process. His work centres on supporting each person with an adapted plan, which is essential when you are after real, lasting physical change. The combination of training, adjusted nutrition and professional follow-up is what turns a goal into a result.
What training Reven did
Reven's plan combined different training formats depending on the phase of the process:
- Strength training · the backbone of the change: progressive overload on the basics (squat, bench press and deadlift) plus accessory work to balance the physique.
- Personal training · one-to-one sessions with direct technical coaching and a plan adjusted session by session as he progressed.
- Methodology and programming · block periodisation and tracking of every variable to guarantee sustained body recomposition.

Reven, a success story without shortcuts
Reven has now gone from 75 kg to 84 kg, with a stronger physique and a much better sense of energy and wellbeing. His case has become a good example of how physical change does not depend on shortcuts but on strategy, discipline and time. It also shows that training intelligently can produce visible transformations without obsessing over the scales.
That is exactly the idea guiding our work: a methodology focused on body recomposition and on improving the person as a whole, well beyond aesthetics, with real, sustainable and measurable results.
