Who trains Ibai Llanos?
Ibai Llanos trains with Barcelona Barbell Club, through its in-home personal training service. In other words, he does not come to a gym floor: 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 the club applies with any other client: strength training as the base, supporting cardiovascular work, sessions split into blocks (one upper body day, one leg day) and progression reviewed week by week. No extreme methods and no impossible deadlines, because the aim was to hold the habit for months, not to sign off a quick change that later unravels.
The point of contact came through Reven, who was already training at the Glòries site. That is where the relationship with the club came from and, later on, where the in-home service was taken on.
What "training with Barbell Club" actually means
The most accurate way to put it is this: Ibai Llanos booked a service. The same personal training service Barcelona Barbell Club offers, in its in-home format, which is the most exclusive one we run.
That matters because it explains why the result does not depend on one specific person or on a burst of motivation. There is a structure behind it: an initial assessment, a written plan, a coach leading the session and follow-up between sessions that adjusts the plan when the week goes sideways.

It started at Glòries, with Reven
Before any headline existed, there was a client training in a neighbourhood gym. Reven trained at Barbell Club Glòries, at Consell de Cent 555, in exactly the same format as anyone else who walks through the door.
Everything else came from there. It was not a celebrity recruitment campaign or an image deal: it was a client who trained well, an environment that worked and a recommendation. That is probably the strongest argument the club has, because it means what you see in a high-profile case is exactly what happens every morning with people who never appear on anyone's screen.
