Miami Fitness & Wellness Group acquires, builds, and operates premier health destinations—spanning from legacy iron gyms and coastal wellness to specialized clinical care and global HIIT franchises.
Our journey begins with a deep respect for authentic bodybuilding culture. At facilities like Thunder Gym in Little Havana, we preserve the grit and heavy steel legacy of the 1950s. We believe in high-intensity results, premium equipment, and prioritizing community over corporate fluff. It’s where hard work speaks louder than words.
As the industry evolved, so did our vision. We expanded our portfolio to bridge the gap between high-end recovery and preventive health. From the resort-style amenities at Crystal Beach Fitness to integrating vital senior mobility programs inside medical clinics throughout Florida, we are committed to making holistic wellness accessible, effective, and community-driven.
Miami Fitness & Wellness Group was founded in 2009 by Tony Quinones with a clear mission: to build a diverse, high-performing portfolio of fitness brands. That same year marked a massive leap forward with the simultaneous acquisitions of the legacy Thunder Gym and the coastal Crystal Beach Fitness, alongside the launch of Miami Wellness Group to serve clinical patients across Florida. After over a decade of operating premier facilities and perfecting the boutique training model, the group reached a major milestone in 2025 by launching Level 5 Fitness as a global franchise opportunity, scaling our results-driven philosophy for the world.
Tony Quinones is an experienced founder with a demonstrated history of leadership within the health, wellness, and fitness industry. With a B.A. in Sports Administration, his career began by ascending the ranks of major national fitness chains. He spent over thirty years driving sales, regional operations, and multi-site district management in key leadership positions for major fitness corporations.
Drawing on his deep expertise in strategic planning, team building, and club operations, Tony founded Miami Fitness & Wellness Group in 2009. Under his leadership, the company rapidly expanded, acquiring legacy brands like Thunder Gym and Crystal Beach Fitness, while simultaneously launching Miami Wellness Group to provide specialized fitness programming to clinical patients throughout Florida.
Today, Tony oversees a diverse portfolio of health clubs across South Florida and provides professional consulting for wellness operations internationally. His current focus is guiding the company's next phase of growth: the 2025 launch of Level 5 Fitness as a scalable franchise model that brings high-quality boutique training to a broader market.
