Our story begins with an individual, our founder Anastacio, whose passion for fitness led him on an inspiring journey across different roles and organizations within the industry. Beginning as a humble housekeeper and weight room tech, Anastacio felt a deep connection to the fitness world and its potential to transform lives. His journey led him to climb the ranks, taking on roles as varied as Group Fitness Instructor, Front Desk Associate, Membership Salesman, New Member Director, Personal Trainer, Fitness Manager, and finally, General Manager.

The diverse experience was not just in roles, but also in environments. Anastacio had the privilege of serving in renowned fitness companies such as YMCA, Gold’s Gym, 24 Hour Fitness, Anytime Fitness, Lifetime Fitness, Blast Fitness, and UFC Gym.   These experiences instilled in him a deep understanding of the industry’s many facets, from corporate chain structures to franchise models, and from non-profits to boutique studios.

The journey didn’t stop there. Anastacio expanded his expertise into the usage-based sector, working with ASH Fitness ( A company that collaborates with Health Care Providers and Employer Groups to advance wellness at a larger scale). 

These experiences collectively laid the foundation for Gyminsiders.com, a platform that serves as a hub for industry-specific information and a showcase of Anastacio’s expertise.
