💪🏽 Arwin Nidea: The Warrior With 7% Kidney Function and 100% Heart
Arwin Nidea isn’t just an ambassador for Spartan Australia and New Zealand — he’s the embodiment of what it truly means to "earn your scars."
Despite facing end-stage kidney failure, with just 7% kidney function, Arwin refuses to slow down. He created his own Spartan team — The LocoLobos — and continues to lead by example, not sympathy.
“They tell me my kidneys are dying. I tell them my spirit isn’t.”
So what happened?
Years ago, Arwin was diagnosed with a severe and chronic kidney condition that progressed to end-stage renal failure. For many, this would mean slowing down — mentally and physically. But Arwin chose the opposite: he doubled down on discipline, tribe, and mindset.
🧠 How Arwin Keeps His Mind Strong:
Purpose-Driven Pain
Arwin has turned his condition into his cause. Every Spartan course he runs is not just a physical feat — it’s a message to everyone watching: you are more than your diagnosis.
Tribe Energy – The LocoLobos
Arwin created a movement, not just a team. The LocoLobos aren’t about competition — they’re about community, resilience, and lifting each other through the mud (literally).
Unshakable Routine
Mindset is muscle. Arwin maintains daily habits of training, reflection, and gratitude — even on dialysis days. The routine keeps his mind anchored while his body fights.
Radical Acceptance, Not Defeat
He’s accepted his reality — but refuses to be ruled by it. He speaks openly about the struggle, and that honesty is his power.
"One More Step" Mentality
Whether it's a Spartan rope climb or a hospital visit, Arwin tackles each day with the belief that as long as he’s moving forward — he’s winning.
🛡️ Final Thought:
Arwin Nidea doesn’t want your pity. He wants you to wake up.
To move. To fight. To remember that your hardest day is someone else’s miracle.
Because if Arwin can train, lead, and inspire while his body is failing —
what excuse do the rest of us have?
