Life & Work with Marcos Concepcion of Pinecrest

Today we’d like to introduce you to Marcos Concepcion.

Hi Marcos, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
We met Marcos at the gym where he used to work. My husband has back injuries, and Marcos began teaching him how to work out safely without aggravating them. He explained which exercises my husband could do and which ones to avoid based on his condition. My husband, who hadn’t exercised for a while, started training again under Marcos’ guidance, and we truly enjoyed the experience.

One day at the gym, Marcos mentioned his dream of opening his own fitness studio. My husband overheard the conversation, and after discussing it together, he decided to approach Marcos with the idea of becoming business partners. From that point on, we began meeting every week for about four years with our management team — including Alexandra, our marketing and branding manager — to plan every detail of the gym. And now, here we are: the gym is finally complete.

Concep 360 Fitness is built on strength and conditioning. We are the first studio to offer a true strength training experience that is not CrossFit — a program designed to be user-friendly and accessible to everyone, especially women who want to learn to lift safely and effectively. Our 75-minute workouts combine strength, endurance, and cardiovascular training for a full 360° approach to fitness. Each class can accommodate between 7 and 28 members, creating a dynamic, community-driven environment where every workout challenges both body and mind.

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?
The biggest challenge we faced was creating the perfect premium experience for our members. At times, it was costly to bring that vision to life, but in the end, we successfully achieved it. As part of your journey, we include a complimentary session so you can enjoy the full experience before officially joining our Family.

As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
Olga Linares is a licensed clinical psychologist who operates her own private practice. Jorge Velez has built a successful career in corporate America, and Marcos Concepcion brings over 20 years of experience as a sports trainer dedicated to helping individuals achieve peak performance.

How can people work with you, collaborate with you or support you?
At Concep 360 Fitness, we offer a private complimentary class exclusively for corporations. It’s a great way to get your employees moving, motivated, and focused on their health — while enjoying special corporate pricing designed just for your team.

If your company is interested in bringing fitness to the workplace, give us a call at 786-982-2213 to schedule your free corporate session! You can also call this number, if you’re an individual and want to try a complimentary class.
