You can hear the giddiness in John Bosa’s voice, as he takes you through his sons’ pet project. They launched it in the spring of 2021, and, as Nick went off to California to play for the 49ers and Joey to play for the Chargers, Dad became general contractor, overseeing the construction of a gym in Fort Lauderdale built specifically (and only) for pro football players.
The meticulous detail, as you’d imagine, made it that way.
“The fun thing about it is it’s 4,000 square feet, and it’s a warehouse that I painted all white, so it’s in a row of warehouses where you’d never know what it is,” Bosa says. “And you walk in, and the lobby area is where the wet area starts. You have two cold tubs. A small one is set at 38 degrees; a bigger one that has jets is set at 41. Then there’s a sauna and there’s a hot tub, and then there’s a full shower/bathroom area. And then you walk through those doors and, if you kind of picture just a big, wide-open, air-conditioned space, there’s a rubber flooring with all of the equipment for Joey; a lot of it is customized equipment.”
