Biography

Darian’s Early Journey

A born and raised Cuban, Darian Alvarez is known as one of the top male fitness and fashion models in the industry. He’s the owner of a popular gym in Miami, alongside being an experienced personal trainer. However, before all of this, Darian’s life looked completely different.

He initially worked for a corporation serving clients. During this period, it was all about work for Darian. He spent a lot of time in front of the desk, along with eating poorly and not being active.

Ultimately, Darian’s lifestyle choices led him to become overweight and unhealthy. At one point, he weighed 92 kilograms. He said; “I worked for a large company with a large clientele an  I had very large physical changes and I managed to weigh 205 pounds because I neglected my weight a lot.

Making a Change

Eventually, Darian became fed up with a lifestyle that consisted of long hours in the office, eating poor foods, and being stressed from all the work.

This led him to pursue a different path – one where he would start going to the gym and get in shape through weightlifting.

He began to experiment with different training and dieting protocols. Along with joining a Physiotherapy class where he learned a lot about the human body. As he said;

“I always say that I was like my own ‘laboratory mouse’ and this gave me a very great security to be able to create effective training and nutrition systems for any type of person, whether they are elderly or a thin or obese person.”

“When I dropped my weight to 170 lbs they gave me a modeling contract. The truth? I never expected it and this begins to open doors, so I started working with TV hosts and also opening my own gym. What I’m able to change becomes a model of life for many more people.”

Nutrition

Darian believes that diet is 70% of the work in fitness. Working out isn’t difficult for him; it’s the dieting part that makes things challenging for Darian, especially when he’s on the go and doesn’t have an access to healthy food options.

To avoid these problems, he’ll usually prepare his meals in advance. So whenever he doesn’t have time to cook his meals, he’ll have a healthy meal ready in the fridge.

Idols and Influences

One of Darian’s aspirations is to become an actor in the future. One of the people who help him to make this goal a reality is Adriana Barraza, his acting teacher.

As Darian said; “I respect all those who have been in the acting career for years and that is why I am studying for it. My diction is one of the many things I have to improve.

I am Cuban and I have a strong accent, but I have the blessing of being in the hands of Adriana Barraza, as an instructor in her academy, and what I can assure you is that I’m enjoying it to the fullest.” – Darian Alvarez
