Our continuous effort through the “Athlete Spotlight of the Month” segment has always been to give athletes the spotlight they deserve. Therefore, here we are, introducing you to another amazing athlete who has incredible potential to be one of the best “Classic Physiques” of today.
We are very proud to feature Diego Galindo as our “Athlete Spotlight of the Month” for December 2025.
Diego is an IFBB Pro and a classic physique competitor from Colombia whose latest Olympia appearance was at the 2025 Olympia where he took home an impressive 6th place finish in an extremely stacked and competitive lineup. Diego and coach “Ariel Cutz Alberto” brought an amazing and improved package to the stage which helped them secure a top 6 spot, thus making a massive 10 place jump from 16th in 2024.
Diego competed in 2 shows this season (2025) and won both of them. First show of the 2025 season for Diego was the Gomeisa Ultimate Battle Colombia Pro where he also earned his 2025 Olympia qualification. Diego’s second show was the Xtreme Bodybuilding Mexico Pro, a week later where he got his 2nd win of the season. Diego was working under coach Marcelo Cruz during this period.
Turning PRO :
Diego turned PRO at the Amateur Olympia Brazil back in October 2019 and made his pro debut at the Muscle Contest Brazil, 2 years later in 2021, taking home an 8th place finish.
In the next few years Diego improved his physique considerably while competing and taking home multiple Top 2 and Top 3 finishes and narrowly missing out on his first pro win and an Olympia qualification.
Diego’s first pro win came in 2023 at the Sur Cup Pro while working under coach Francisco Espin. The 2023 season was also one of the most successful seasons of Diego’s career in the Pro league at that point of time with a Top 2 finish, a Pro win and an Olympia debut in the books.
