Álex Saiz

Over a decade building real strength

I am Álex Saiz. I have been doing this for more than 10 years and I am very clear about what I want for everyone who trains with me: for them to get strong. Not "a bit fitter", not "slightly better". Genuinely strong.

I founded Barcelona Barbell Club because I wanted a space where training was taken seriously: no crowds, no generic routines, no coaches who just count reps. A place where programming, technique and progression always come before the noise.

I hold a master's degree in personal training and I am a certified personal trainer. Over the years I have added specialisations in powerlifting and advanced strength programming, evidence-based intelligent training, physical preparation for combat sports and mobility applied to weightlifting.

I have worked with every kind of profile: people who had never touched a barbell, athletes with competition goals, and people with chronic pain or injuries who believed they could never train again. In every case the destination is the same · today they are healthier, stronger and more capable than ever.

Alongside the club I founded Valking, a sports brand born from the same principle as Barcelona Barbell Club: quality training should not be the privilege of a few.

I do not improvise. Every decision in your training has a reason and a purpose. Planning is not optional · it is the most powerful tool there is for getting where you want to go. That is how our step-by-step method works, applied to strength training and to every format at the club.
