Meet Abel Sanchez Jr | Entrepreneur

We had the good fortune of connecting with Abel Sanchez Jr and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Abel, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
My passion for fitness, dance, and event production started at a very young age. I was 15 years old when I started my first business in the backyard of my parent’s home in a small town back in Texas. Utilizing my gymnastic and dance training, I founded the first all-star competitive cheer team. I would invoice parents for team choreography, gymnastic and partner stunt training. Parents even had the option to pay for private training. I organized parent meetings and team fundraising events to help raise money for our team trips to regional and National competitions in Orlando, Florida. I researched exercises to help with our team training workouts which helped build Our cardiovascular, stamina, core strength, and flexibility. This opened doors to the personal training and group fitness field which later helped me get top fitness positions at Bally total Fitness and New York Sports Club, quickly following my high school graduation I made my move from Texas to The big Apple where I expanded my dance training and later booked jobs for many dance gigs such as Oklahoma, and Jingle Ball Tour. This is where my love for show production grew immensely. After ten years in NYC, I moved back to Texas and started my official corporate business WYNOT Fitness, which led to WYNOT International LLC here in Miami, Florida, the umbrella corporation of WYNOT Fitness, Miami WYNOT Eat, and ION Productions.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
At a very young age of nine. I knew I always wanted to be a Professional dancer, choreograph, and produce shows. Coming from a small town in South Texas, there were no dance classes nor studios that offered dance instruction. I had to find other ways to learn the art. Up until high school, I always knew I would go to NYC to expand my knowledge in dance and audition for many musical theater shows on Broadway and live concerts. I had explained my future to my high school counselor which then tried to advise me to go elsewhere for school and not in NYC. My counselor has advised me that my plans were just a dream and should focus on something more realistic. The advise of my counselor ignited a fire within me and even more so pushed me to prove my counselor wrong, along with those who doubted me in my hometown. I did fulfill my plan and lived my dream for 10 years in New York City, followed by my move back to Texas so I could move on and accomplish my next goal. Obstacles were always present leading up to where I started my official corporate business WYNOT Fitness, which led to WYNOT International LLC here in Miami, Florida, the umbrella corporation of WYNOT Fitness, Miami WYNOT Eat, and ION Productions.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Miami is a great place to live you get a bit of that metropolitan living along with a great deal of rest, relaxation, and fun, the ultimate vacation destination, and you cannot take notice of the amount of people that come thru Miami. People from all over the world, different cultures, and lifestyles. Miami has a lot to offer from Wynwood which has that Art Deco, grunge, industrial feel, along with the great tasting food from all the different restaurants. Then you have Miami Design District with its exciting shopping with all its luxury fashion boutiques, fine dining and trendy restaurants, and of course the edgy Art galleries. You can forget about Miami’s Brickell which also has a fun shopping experience of its own, the rooftop bars, and it’s own upscale dining. And no one forgets what Miami is known for South Beach.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would love to thank my parents, sisters, and brother for always supporting me and being there thru all my business ventures. I also want to send a huge shoutout to all my WYNOT Fitness members who are like family, who are there in the time of need and support.
