COSS MARTE
Founder of CONBODY is a prison style fitness bootcamp that hires formerly incarcerated individuals to teach fitness classes. CONBODY, developed by former inmate Coss Marte, is the ultimate no-equipment, hardcore workout program. Using military-style bodyweight training techniques that he learned in prison, Coss was able to lose 70 pounds in six months with nothing but the walls and floor of his 9-by-6 prison cell.
CONBODY's real message is about prison reform. Our mission is to bridge a gap between two communities: young professionals and formerly incarcerated individuals.
