Mini bio
How it started.
Before television, Chuy ran a gym and taught boxing. On his own website, he describes building Boxeo Mexicano Boxing Gym around a mix of boxing and functional exercises. In a 2026 Expreso interview, he recalled that a viral training video brought him to Telemundo’s attention in 2018. He initially declined Exatlón Estados Unidos, but his wife encouraged him to take the opportunity.
From the gym to television.
Exatlón made him familiar to a wider audience. An injury cut short his first season, and he later returned for seasons four and seven and the 2023 All-Stars edition. He also captained Cobras on Guerreros 2021 and joined Telemundo’s La Isla: Desafío Extremo in 2024.
Training with the toritos.
His online work gives fans workouts they can follow at home, including beginner sessions, dumbbell routines and standing cardio. Boxing remains part of the story: in 2026 he documented his Ring Royale preparation, shared the move to Purgatorio 2.0 and took Tirando Trompos into Navojoa neighborhoods.
