Our Story

At the heart of Stenos Fitness lies a powerful philosophy: What we think, we become. This guiding principle, inspired by the Greek word “stenos,” meaning narrow path, serves as a reminder that life’s greatest transformations are achieved by walking the disciplined, focused path—a path that is often challenging but ultimately rewarding.

The vision for Stenos Fitness was born from a realization: in a world filled with distractions and self-doubt, the greatest obstacle to success is often our mindset. Josh Goncalves, the founder of Stenos Fitness, experienced this firsthand. Life had shown him that the power to build, endure, and overcome starts with a single thought. He understood that to truly change, individuals needed more than just physical fitness—they needed a mental shift.

The narrow path of Stenos represents the journey we all take when we choose to embrace growth over comfort. It’s a path where challenges become opportunities, failures become lessons, and strength is cultivated from within. This mentality transcends the gym and echoes into every area of life—relationships, careers, and personal goals.
