Coss Marte

Coss is the founder of ConBody, and Second Chance Studios in Manhattan, New York. Conbody came from his personal experience when he lost 70 pounds in six months in prison. There, he helped more than 20 inmates lose more than 1,000 pounds combined. The idea to start a fitness business came about toward the end of his incarceration. ConBody's whole mission is to hire as many people coming out of the prison system as possible to teach fitness classes. Most of the people who come in are people who want to give back, and they feel like they’re fulfilling some sort of social responsibility through our platform. They could go do CrossFit or support any other sort of fitness gym, but they feel like they’re doing something right by supporting people who need a second opportunity. And they’re getting a great workout on top of that as well. That’s the biggest brag — they’re supporting something bigger than just a Gold’s Gym; they’re supporting a movement and giving opportunities to people who need them. We're so pumped to have Coss join us this Summer.
