We miss you guys. For us, being trainers means we get to be a part of someone’s life - someone’s story. We spend hours with these people, learning about their lives, helping them get through tough times and hopefully, brightening their day. Most weeks, we see our clients more than we even see our closest friends. Not being able to give or share with these people, to teach them or hear how their day is going or if they got that promotion at work or how their dog is doing is HA...RD. It’s innate in us to be a part of your life and it’s something we never realized was so much more than a job for us. - A lot of people are talking about how hard it is to be off work and not be able to go out to restaurants or see family. For us, we’ve realized, training people is OUR identity and our clients FEEL like our family. - We’re so grateful to be part of the @venturafitnesscollective to get our client fix and we truly hope you know that training you - as different as it is - is THE BEST part of our day. We can’t wait to be back with you all in person. - #bossfitness #trainingfamily #venturafitnesscollective See more

That was when we knew Boss was special. We were a make-shift gym, thrown together with second-hand equipment because of two girls’ crazy idea, but watching the community come together for us like that made it into something so much bigger than us. Boss is a place of raw vulnerability where you come because you have a big idea - maybe one people have told you isn’t possible - and our job is to tell you it IS possible and to help you get there. As Boss has continued to grow an...d evolve over the last 7 (almost 8!) years, the heart of it has always been the same be a space where the community can come together, support each other and grow together. We’ve really seen the strength of the community that is Boss these last few weeks. With the unprecedented Coronavirus pandemic, the fear that a lot of small businesses are facing started bubbling up and we watched our clients start to get stressed and feel isolated as well. Instead of leaning into that fear, though, we went back to our roots and asked how we could give back to the community that built us. In 4 days, along with other incredible local trainers, we formed The Ventura Fitness Collective - a free resource for our community to access live workout classes from anywhere via Zoom. The response has been incredible. To see all these people in their own homes, coming together and moving their bodies and leaving so much more positive than when they came in is really the spirit that started Boss put the community first and everything else will follow. - Read the rest of how Boss got started in our interview with @voyagelamag in the link in our bio! - #ventura #supportlocal

We just want to say: thank you, we’re grateful for you & we’re thinking of you. - Last week we had an idea. Amidst the fear, confusion, and changes that this pandemic has brought on, we realized that our jobs would be more important than ever. We all got into training because we LOVE helping people and we believe in our heart that the gift we can give people through the confidence, connection and stress-relief they get from moving their bodies is now more important than ever.... - Last week we saw our community getting fearful. We saw the stress building that change and unknown brings. We felt it in ourselves too. But then we chose to see the good. To see this as the moment we could give back to the community that’s given us so much. The time that we could step up and be a beacon of light and connection in a dark time. The concept of the @venturafitnesscollective was simple - give people a positive outlet & sense of community that they can access from anywhere without the stress of money or lack of accessibility. If we could make people feel a little less stressed and a little more hopeful in this time, we’ve done our job. - It may seem like just a week of free workouts, but to us it’s a lot more. It’s the heartbeat of our community; it’s collective support instead of fear and isolation; it’s a positive thing to look forward to in a stranger’s day. - Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for joining this community, showing up for eachother and letting us into your life. We’re so grateful to have you here. - #venturastrong
