A big thank you to @joellegarguilo from @abc7ny for highlighting the Conbody founders @cossmarte story.

The mission has always remained the same; help improve people’s health and provide second chances to the formerly incarcerated. ❤️💪🏽

Here are some great quotes from both Coss and Joelle:

“A fitness empire built on second chances.” - Joelle

“In the confines of solitary confinement, what seemed like an ending would become his beginning.” - Joelle

“How do you start from ground zero and give some one a humanistic opportunity?” - Coss

“We have seen the rates of recidivism drop after employment.” - Coss

Lastly, should Mark Wahlberg play Coss in the biopic of his life story? 🎞️ 🎥 Who would you cast?

We hire formerly incarcerated individuals to teach prison-style bootcamp classes in efforts to give this community a second chance in life. 🙌🏽 Chose from 50+ On- Demand cardio strength training classes using just your own bodyweight and show us how you #DOTHETIME

The room laughed when he said it.
That's usually how it goes when the vision is bigger than the circumstances.

Coss Marte got out and built exactly what they said couldn't be done.

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, more than 650,000 people are released from prison every year. The vast majority of them—approximately two-thirds—will likely be rearrested within three years of their release. In many instances, these individuals find themselves becoming another recidivism statistic, as they exit prison to return to the same challenging conditions that led to their initial arrest and face discriminatory barriers to employment and housing that are imposed on ex-prisoners.

After serving six years for drug-related charges, Coss Marte was determined to break this cycle, not only for himself but to help as many of his fellow returning citizens as he could. His mission: to build ConBody, a fitness business based on the workout method he developed in prison, operated by people whose lives had been impacted by the criminal justice system.

Oscar-nominated director Debra Granik embedded with Coss over eight years after his release to follow his journey and that of the trainers who sustain ConBody as they find their footing in post-carceral life. The result is the compelling multi-part documentary CONBODY VS EVERYBODY, which presents a portrait of the daily lives, aspirations, and hardships of a community in search of a second chance and a fresh start.

CONBODY VS EVERYBODY — a new episodic documentary from Oscar-nominated director Debra Granik — premiering exclusively on the Criterion Channel on May 1.

Filmed over eight years, Granik's five-part series follows Coss Marte, the formerly incarcerated founder of Conbody, a Lower East Side gym with a unique social purpose: to employ formerly incarcerated people like himself in an attempt to combat the high rate of recidivism. As Marte wages an uphill battle against the stigma of incarceration and the realities of a relentlessly gentrifying city where second chances are hard to come by, what emerges is both an inspiring portrait of a man on a mission and a powerful examination of a system that continues to punish people even after they have served their time.

For those in New York, you can see CONBODY VS EVERYBODY on Sunday, April 26 at @metrograph with Granik and Marte + April 28–May 1 at @dctvny before its exclusive streaming premiere on the Criterion Channel.
