Today we’d like to introduce you to Marcus Sanchez.
Hi Marcus, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I played football through high school and college and during my time in college I realized that though I liked playing the game, I really loved the preparation that went into it.
How to train the body, how the body responded, recovered, and enhanced. I also just naturally like to help others. During my last year in college, I got my personal training certification and came back home to New Braunfels where I was employed by a corporate gym chain in San Antonio for almost 9 years. In October 2020, I decided to start my own fitness business with aspirations to open a gym.
Fast forward 2 years and I have grown the FitFlex brand, doubled the clientele, and am in the process of bringing on more personal trainers and coaches.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
2020 was an interesting year, speaking for myself and, well, everyone else. My wife and I introduced our first child to this world one day before the lockdown, began a startup business, and to top it off, I was diagnosed with heart failure.
During my recovery, I gained a new perspective on what kind of impact I would like to make in this world and how much time I get to do so. This also reignited my passion to lead people to be the best versions of themselves through movement.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?

Seeing other people laugh at my lame dad jokes. Lol. While I do like to crack jokes, nothing puts a smile on my face more than spending time with my family.
