Ivan Nieves​​

​

Ivan Nieves is no stranger to pushing limits—both his own and those of others. With over a decade of experience in the health, wellness, and fitness industry, he has become known for his bold ideas, always encouraging people to step out of their comfort zones. Whether it's through his ventures in high-tech fitness or exhilarating obstacle races, Ivan’s mission is clear: inspire others to embrace adventure and try something new. His entrepreneurial spirit has turned his “crazy ideas” into profitable, transformative businesses that change lives.

​

As the owner of Body20 Pembroke Pines, Ivan is leading a revolution in fitness in conjunction with partners Andres Arzola and Erik Delgado. The cutting-edge franchise offers a one-of-a-kind experience, leveraging Electro-Muscle Stimulation (EMS) technology to give clients the benefits of hours in the gym in just 20 minutes. It’s a game-changer for people like Ivan, who values fitness but understands the challenges that come with age, time constraints, and joint discomfort.

​

“The future of fitness lies in technology,” Ivan says confidently, emphasizing that personalization and efficiency will continue to define the industry. Body20 is part of that future, blending innovation with a personalized touch. “In just 20 minutes, you’re getting the same workout you’d get in hours. For people who want to stay active but don’t have the time or joint mobility to handle high-impact workouts, this is the solution,” he explains.

​

Ivan’s dedication to staying at the forefront of the fitness industry is apparent in everything he does. From continuous learning to networking with other industry leaders, he is always exploring new fitness modalities and emerging technologies. This forward-thinking mindset is what fuels Body20’s growth, with four franchise locations already in the works and the Pembroke Pines location set to open in November 2024. Members are already signing up, eager to experience the future of fitness for themselves.

​

But Ivan’s passion for pushing boundaries isn’t limited to fitness. As the founder of Titans Race, Puerto Rico’s first and most popular obstacle race company, he has created thrilling outdoor events that challenge participants both physically and mentally. Founded over a decade ago, Titans Race has become synonymous with innovation and adventure, offering courses that highlight the natural beauty of the island while testing competitors’ endurance.

​

What started as a leap of faith has evolved into a brand known for quality and excitement. “I had the audacity to start Titans Race from scratch,” Ivan recalls, “and a decade later, I’m still having fun with it.” The race’s terrain-inspired challenges have not only attracted thrill-seekers but have also put Puerto Rico on the map as a destination for outdoor adventure.

​

Whether through fitness innovation or obstacle course challenges, Ivan Nieves continues to make a lasting impact, helping people achieve their goals and live fuller, healthier lives. For him, it’s not just about the businesses—it’s about creating experiences that transform lives. “At the end of the day, I love what I do, and seeing the positive impact on people’s lives makes it all worth it.”
