THREE GYMS
After rehab, I went on to build three gyms, bringing my methods to the local community.
ABOUT BARRY & BOSSFIX ACADEMY
I HAD TO CHANGE
MY OWN LIFE FIRST.
I’m Barry O’Shea. I built BOSSFIX to help people change their bodies—and the habits that keep pulling them back.

THE BOSSFIX ETHOS
AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT IN YOUR LIFE.
“At any given moment in your life, from here on out, you can get yourself into the best shape of your life—mentally and physically—without needing any outside resources whatsoever. You don’t even need to set foot in a gym. You can do this from home, using only your bodyweight, with my Home BOSSTHENICS workouts.”
That’s what the BOSSFIX three-stage process is built to teach you. — Barry O’Shea10+years coaching

THE PART YOU DON’T SEE IN A BEFORE-AND-AFTER
ADDICTION.
REHABILITATION.
A REASON TO CHANGE.
I spent years battling addiction. Rehabilitation forced me to look honestly at my behaviour, my thinking and the things I kept using to escape how I felt.
For me, the pain came first. Then came the willingness to change.
Recovery taught me why we can keep doing something even when we know it’s hurting us—and why knowing what to do doesn’t always mean we do it.
That understanding became central to how I coach.
THE TURNING POINT
CHANGING MY BODY
WAS ONLY PART OF THE WORK.
I lost 66 pounds in six months. But the work went deeper than the mirror.
I grew up in a deprived community. I know what it feels like to have very little, feel uncomfortable in your own skin and keep reaching for something that makes you feel better for a moment.
I studied anatomy, physiology and nutrition, qualified as a personal trainer and developed my own exercise methods. People saw my transformation and started asking for help.
I changed my body, lost the chest fat I’d felt ashamed of and began helping other people make changes of their own.
BRUTAL HONESTY. PROPER SUPPORT.
SUCCESSFUL AT WORK.
STRUGGLING WITH YOURSELF?
You can look after everyone else and leave nothing for your own health.
Overworking. Emotional eating. Obsessive patterns. I recognise them because I’ve lived them. We look at your food, your movement, your thinking and what’s happening in your everyday life.
If something needs addressing, we address it. Then we give you the knowledge, support and accountability to do something about it.
We start with where you actually are and build from there. The aim is a better balance, with more time and energy for your family, your kids and the people you love.
FROM LOCAL GYMS TO ONLINE COACHING
THE DECISIONS BETWEEN
SESSIONS MATTER.
2021 · BOSSFIX ACADEMY
I developed the Academy concept, bringing together mindset, physical change and accountability.
ENTREPRENEUR OF THE YEAR
Runner-up at the 2021 LLEx CJS Awards.
Originally, I didn’t believe in online coaching. I thought you had to be standing beside someone to make a real difference.
What changed my mind was how much progress depends on life outside the training session: decisions around food, difficult evenings and the weeks when work takes over.
My gyms could reach the local community. Online, I could bring my ethos, methods and support to people much further afield.
THE PEOPLE ARE DIFFERENT. THE APPROACH IS ALWAYS PERSONAL.
THE RESULTS THAT MATTER
CHANGE YOUR EVERYDAY LIFE.
Busy parents and directors making time for themselves. Men feeling comfortable taking their tops off. Women making substantial changes while still eating normal food.
My job isn’t finished because you’ve followed a plan and lost weight. I want you to understand how you got there—and how to keep looking after yourself.

If you’re looking to loose weight give it a try.
Started with Barry and the team 3 months ago, so far ive lost just over a stone, i had no idea about what to eat but the team have loads of recipe ideas and coaches to guide you through, all my workouts have been tailored to do at home so theres no need to go to the gym, barry and the team check in daily to support me, Barry and Leanne have been a great help and i could have done it without them.

Highly recommended
Where to start Barry is a genuine supporting knowledgeable guy who helps you through the whole journey focusing not just on diet and exercise but a deeper understanding of how to keep going in everyday life, he has created not just a business but a family where everyone supports each other, when I joined him he supported me to lose 19kg in 6 months can’t recommend the boss fix academy enough. I even came back a second time for more 😊
