As an All-American college athlete who competed in track and field and played on the football team, maintaining optimal fitness was the highest priority for Josh Bowmar. As an exercise physiology student, he learned what it took to make the body function at the highest level. During his college years, he put this knowledge to the test, not only breaking four university records in track and field, but also through competing in bodybuilding. He won multiple bodybuilding titles, including the 2012 Arnold Classic Men’s Physique Overall Champion, 2013 Arnold Classic Men’s Physique Champion, Mr. Ohio Class Winner and Overall Champion, Natural Northern USA- Drug Tested Men’s Physique Class Winner and Overall Champion, Great Lakes Men’s Physique Class Winner and Overall Champion, and the 2013 NPC National Bodybuilding Championship 1st Place Awarding Him IFBB Pro Men’s Physique Status.
For Josh, dedication to fitness and nutrition is lifelong passion. He met his wife, Sarah Bowmar, in 2014 when they were both competing in the Arnold Classic in Columbus, Ohio, and they were married the next year. Together, Josh and Sarah were certified as nutrition specialists and ISSA fitness trainers in 2014.That same year, Sarah joined Josh in a combined online coaching business, Bowmar Fitness. Recognizing the need for healthier, cleaner products, they founded the clean nutrition-focused companies, Bowmar Nutrition, and APEX Protein Snacks in 2018 and 2020. They also document their tips for healthy eating and exercising on their Bowmar Fitness YouTube Channel. The one Bowmar Nutrition Product they can’t live without? Their Collagen Peptides.
Hunting
From a young age, Josh Bowmar has loved bowhunting and spending time in the great outdoors. He and Sarah now hunt together all over the world using only their bows and arrows, with their favorite spots being Africa and Alaska. Through hunting, they have had the opportunity to give back by donating tens of thousands of meals to families in South Africa and Mozambique. The Bowmars are also dedicated to fighting against poaching, which they do by promoting ethical hunting methods and supporting the Dallas Safari Club’s anti-poaching efforts. Together, Josh and Sarah own Bowmar Archery, where their branded archery gear and supplies such as their patented nose button can be found.

Their book, Zero to a Million without Showing Your Butthole, gives advice on the best ways to grow your social media presence using their own experiences - both the good and the bad.
