OUR HISTORY

The '70s & '80s

MOSSA’s journey began in the 1970’s with the drive, passion, and spirit (not to mention frustration) of our leader, Rich Boggs. After 10 years of working for corporations including Proctor & Gamble and Bristol-Myers, Rich’s tremendous entrepreneurial spirit was too controlled, and his health and weight were out of control!

Rich made the decision to get moving! His desire for positive change led to the development of Sportslife: The Science of Good Health. This chain of seven full-service health clubs in the metro Atlanta area serviced over 45,000 members. The experience of owning and operating clubs for nearly 15 years provides a strong foundation for the success of the MOSSA professional club and consumer programs today.

The '90s

In the late 1980’s, a new phenomenon was taking shape in the Sportslife clubs – aerobics classes on wooden benches. To capture this excitement and share it with the world, MOSSA, then known as The STEP Company, developed The Original STEP. In the 90’s, over 13 million people a week were part of the step fitness craze as MOSSA introduced The STEP in over 25,000 clubs in the US and Canada and many more worldwide. The Original STEP is now a staple of the fitness industry, used by millions of participants each week.

The 2000s

In the late 90’s, MOSSA, then known as Body Training Systems, began distributing group fitness programs from a New Zealand company to health clubs in the US and Canada. In 2005, MOSSA launched their own professionally developed programs, a comprehensive instructor training system, a sales and marketing system and an extensive management system that includes software and resources to enable health clubs to maximize their group participation and be more profitable.

Today

MOSSA’s goal is simple…to get 50 million people moving each week through our top-quality health club partners and Xbox Fitness. We pursue this goal with a never-ending commitment to creating the best group fitness programs and home workouts.
