We believe knowledge is key to change. We start with your current nutrition habits and educate you as we build the ideal program. Helping you develop a healthy relationship with food along the way. We don't give workouts, we build bodies. Starting with a strong foundation is key to longevity so we incorporate in mobility, stabilization and the importance of mind-body connection as we develop a fitness program to meet your goals.
We don't believe in quick fixes and know the right answer isn't always the easy answer. We take a holistic approach to changing your body, looking at everything from stress to digestion and find what's holding you back from realizing your full potential. We know we have to first change the mind before we change the body so each week we develop a new habit for long term sustainable results.

Coming from a highly athletic family, Stephanie found fitness in her teen years as a way to blow off stress and build a positive body image. The thing I love about fitness is that it demands you to change, to adapt; it shows you your weaknesses and demands of you your strengths. It shows you who you really are and who you can be.
Located in the heart of Ventura and just a few minutes drive away from Pierpont beach. Our boutique studio is filled with natural elements from exposed brick to raw wood beam rafters. We're equipped with every tool you need to reach your goals. Including a heavy bag, cable machine, cardio stations, free weights, barbells and a wide array of weight training equipment around our custom turf area used for functional conditioning.
The weight on a scale can be very misleading. If you want the most accurate assessment of your health then you need to identify your body composition not just your weight. Our InBody machine uses safe, multiple frequency, bio-electrical impedance technology to identify muscular development and imbalances, body fat %, as well as, your basal metabolic rate (so you can dial in your nutrition).

Mario & Stephanie are two of the kindest, most knowledgeable coaches I have ever had the chance to work with! Having come from a CrossFit community I really loved but had to depart from, I was astonished to find a truly stellar community of athletes at BOSS. All levels are challenged to reach their potential, with modifications & consistently made by coaches. Ventura is SO lucky to have a gym like BOSS and coaches like Mario & Stephanie!

Aging up, a couple surgeries, Covid-19, and sedate-apathy saw muscle atrophy with weight gain never worn before. September 2nd we stepped into Boss Fitness for our first session with Mario & Stephanie. After analysis we set out on a methodical plan designed around my current movement limitations. The transformation began with a couple workouts a week, following a diet plan and just rebooting a healthier more active

So as of today, 3 months, I've shed just under 30lbs, increased muscle strength, and re-found a passion i had all but given up on - SURFING...

I started working out with Stephanie at Boss Fitness because of low back and shoulder pain last year. After just a few sessions the pain subsided and I knew exercises to do when it would sometimes creep back in. Plus, I saw positive results in my posture. Everyone there is so friendly. Exercises are tailored to fit every need. Would highly highly recommend Boss Fitness.

My journey with Boss Fitness started in seemingly the most unlikely time: COVID19 quarantine. I had been following Boss Fitness for a while on Instagram but unable to make any classes. Once quarantine hit, and Stephanie rallied amazing instructors from all over Ventura to form Ventura Fitness Collective, I became a Zoom workout junkie! I love Stephanie's classes because it is very apparent that she is authentic, loves what she does, and care so much about her clients (even though she is doing this by donation only). Her heart for the community and their health are her biggest drivers! I am

Getting out and getting active has been difficult lately especially after just having surgery before the apocalypse hit.
It has been so awesome being able to have a virtual classes to take DAILY and FREE (but they need to feed themselves so donate!).
It has helped me, along with personal coaching and modifications, be able to stay active, healthy and from the comfort of my own living room. No excuses now! Oh and did I mention I also live in Oregon. Just do yourself a favor and support and/or join this gym!

I came in for a group fitness class and was really impressed by the workout, trainer and environment.
It was a beautiful, warm night so the garage door was open with a nice breeze coming through. The location is amazing as I could see the relaxing sunset skies in comparison to the sweat-filled, challenging workout - the perfect balance and motivation. One of my biggest obstacles with gyms is that they are loud with a surplus of fluorescent lighting matched with many super-charged personalities where you feel like just another person, then leave - they lack humanistic qualities.

I started going to BOSS a couple months before my wedding in October 2019. To say I love the gym and the trainers is a definite understatement. I've always been turned off to go to a gym setting... to avoid judgment and confusion on what to do. However when I went to BOSS I never felt more welcome and educated on what it was I was doing and WHY. It's not even about seeing results at this point, although that's a definite plus. It's about being a part of a community at a great place and being dedicated to improving my quality of life on the daily. Eden specifically has been absolutely

I've been learning and growing about fitness and health with the lovely people of Boss Fitness since their inception. I love that they are always introducing me to new ways to be healthy as well as keeping me consistently strong. Steph knows exactly how to tailor a personalized plan in a way that makes you feel cared for and motivated. I recommend them to all my local friends. Thanks Boss!!

I took a self defense class hosted by BossFit and it was incredible. I learned so much about how to protect myself and I was really grateful that this gym cares about the women in our community enough to clear their schedule and host such a great class. All the trainers I encountered were friendly, warm, and professional! They made me wish I lived closer so I could make it my home base for working out. Don't hesitate to hire them, I can tell they'll whip your booty into shape and keep a smile on your face for sure!

I came to Boss Fitness in November 2018 with a back injury (and many other problems because of it). I used to work out everyday, but my back injury had caused me a lot of frustration and a loss of muscle mass I had never experienced! After my first session with Stephanie, I experienced her deep understanding in the way the body works and her determination to get me to where I wanted/needed to be. I knew she’d be able to help me. It is now June 2019 and I have made leaps and bounds from where I was in November! I have gained so much strength, learned to control my body, am down almost 30 lbs and

Before joining Boss Fit I felt like I had plateaued. I was working out regularly but was not seeing the results I felt I should be getting. I have been going to Boss Fit for a month now I can already feel and see more changes in my body! There has not been a day that I questioned if I should go get my workout in and I honestly look forward to class. I love the atmosphere and style of the small personalized classes and I always leave feeling empowered and sweaty. I mostly train with Eden (but all the trainers are awesome) and she is clearly great at what she does and extremely knowledgeable on

When I made the decision to start working out, I knew a normal gym would not be the place for me. Thankfully, a good friend recommended Boss Fitness and introduced me to Steph. Two years later, I still look forward to Steph's crazy workout and sweating with my friends/workout family. Steph takes my goals and needs into consideration when she formulates a workout program and is extremely encouraging. I've grown both physically and mentally stronger since working out at Boss Fitness, and I've been able to accomplish numerous fitness goals that I would have never been able to do without Steph and

A real gem of a gym! The trainers and the people working out there are a true reflection of working hard while enjoying the process. Meal plans, boot camps and a professional system the help keep you motivated and determined to hit your fitness goals. One of the reasons Ventura is so great because there are places like this that thrive here.

I've been training with Juli on and off for the past ten years. She has been able to help me reach my goals every time and is a great inspiration. She is also a certified nutritionist.
She has help me plan out my meals that are easy to prep and satiating.
She is a wonderful lady and I would recommend her to anyone who is in need of some help to get in shape.

I've been working with Kirra at Boss Fitness for three months now. I'm already seeing progress in my flexibility, strength and endurance. Kirra is very knowledgeable and her enthusiasm for fitness is contagious! She's done a great job of accommodating my knee and shoulder problems and has even helped me improve those areas.
The facility is small but they make it work well. The atmosphere is fun and comfortable and not at all intimidating. Prices are very reasonable for the level of training they provide.

I don't know what I'd do with my favorite trainer Juli at Boss Fitness. She is knowledgeable in not only training but helps me with my diet and goals. The encouragement and support help keep me going and focused. I'm training for my first marathon and I owe the motivation to her!! Thanks Juli...you rock!! :)

The girls of BOSS Fitness are amazing! I began my fitness journey with Stephanie in 2013, and has totally changed my life. She has a true passion for fitness, and cares about her clients. I love that Steph, and the other BOSS babes, are constantly learning about new fitness stuff and share that knowledge with their clients. The BOSS babes have created a non-intimidating and encouraging atmosphere for individuals all over the fitness spectrum. THANK YOU BOSS FITNESS!
