After several stints behind bars, Coss was arrested again in 2009 and sentenced to seven years in prison. Overweight and at risk for cardiovascular disease, Coss started exercising in his cell. With no access to fitness equipment, Coss had to use his own body weight for resistance. Within six months, he lost over 70 pounds. Then, he shared his workout routine with other inmates to help them lose weight, too. After serving four years in prison, Coss was released back to society but unable to secure work due to his record. Inspired by his own weight loss journey, he launched <a href=\"https:\/\/conbody.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ConBody<\/a> \u2014 a prison-style boot camp that helps people lose weight and provides employment for the formerly incarcerated.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_da19a1-e0, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_da19a1-e0[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_da19a1-e0\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_da19a1-e0 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_da19a1-e0[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_da19a1-e0\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_da19a1-e0 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_da19a1-e0[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_da19a1-e0\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading_da19a1-e0 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_da19a1-e0\">Coss Marte Evades Poverty Through Multi-Million Dollar Drug Ring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Coss Marte grew up in a tenement apartment in NYC\u2019s Lower East Side. His mother, an immigrant from the Dominican Republic, worked at a factory and lived below the poverty line. When people asked Coss what he wanted to be when he grew up, he replied \u201crich.\u201d The only path to success he could see in his neighborhood was through the world of drugs. He started smoking weed at age 11. By age 13, he began selling cocaine and crack. By 19, Coss had 20 people working for him and was earning $2 million a year. Although he was convicted on various drug charges over the years, he kept returning to a life of crime. However, it was his last arrest, at age 23, that would change his life for good.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_717d2a-f8, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_717d2a-f8[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_717d2a-f8\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_717d2a-f8 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_717d2a-f8[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_717d2a-f8\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_717d2a-f8 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_717d2a-f8[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_717d2a-f8\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading_717d2a-f8 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_717d2a-f8\">Health Check Puts Inmate on Death Row<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All inmates are required to have a physical exam upon arrival. When Coss was examined, he was told that his cholesterol levels were through the roof. If he did not make diet and lifestyle changes, he would die within five years. Faced with a seven-year sentence, Coss did not want to die in prison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coss was put on a low-carb diet and began working out. He would run for hours in the prison yard, despite being called \u201cFat Forrest Gump\u201d by other inmates. In fact, that motivated him even more to continue working out in his cell. His routine included push-ups, jumping jacks, burpees, and dips \u2014 basically any body weight exercises that could be done from his 9&#215;6\u2019 space. As Coss started dropping pounds, other inmates asked him to help with their weight loss goals. During his incarceration, Coss helped over 20 inmates lose over 1,000 pounds combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover alignright is-light\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__gradient-background has-background-dim\"><\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-9287\" alt=\"Coss Marte of ConBody receives a TisBest check on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tisbest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2-300x300.png\" data-object-fit=\"cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tisbest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.tisbest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.tisbest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.tisbest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.tisbest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Coss Marte Develops Business Plan Behind Bars<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Toward the end of his incarceration, Coss Marte contemplated what he wanted to do when he was released. He was filled with regret from his past, and wanted to impact society in a positive way. Inspired by his own weight loss journey, Coss developed a business plan while in solitary confinement. His goal was to help people live their best lives \u2014 by getting fit through a non-stop, body weight, prison-style workout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After his release, Coss tried to secure minimum wage jobs to help fund his business. However, he was denied hundreds of jobs due to the red flag on his applications \u2014 a criminal record. So, Coss took matters into his own hands. He started offering private training sessions with people he knew. Eventually, he rented out studio space for group classes. One year later, he opened ConBody just blocks from where he was arrested on the Lower East Side.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_20df40-14, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_20df40-14[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_20df40-14\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_20df40-14 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_20df40-14[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_20df40-14\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_20df40-14 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_20df40-14[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_20df40-14\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading_20df40-14 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_20df40-14\">ConBody Motivates Community Members To \u201cDo the Time\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>ConBody is the first fitness method created in prison, founded by an inmate, and managed and run by former inmates. It is a platform that allows the community to work out and work toward their best selves. The business\u2019 slogan is DO THE TIME. Whether it\u2019s losing weight or changing societal beliefs, you cannot get results without doing the time and putting in the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through the <a href=\"https:\/\/conbody.com\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ConBody Foundation<\/a>, Coss aims to de-stigmatize the formerly incarcerated community, ease their integration back into society, and change the systemic inequity of the criminal justice system. To date, ConBody has worked with over 100 formerly incarcerated professionals with a 0% recidivism rate. By doing the time together, they hope to change the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Post-Workout Surprise Gets Coss Marte\u2019s Heart Pumping<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While Coss Marte has offered some private training classes, he\u2019s never had one quite like this. During a visit to The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Coss taught the host and her sidekick, tWitch, a few body weight exercises that can be done on a small yoga mat. After a quick workout, Coss received a surprise that raised his heart rate even higher. The Ellen DeGeneres Show partnered with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tisbest.org\/\">TisBest Philanthropy<\/a> to present Coss with a $15,000 check for the ConBody Foundation! Now, Coss Marte can empower many others to \u201cDo THE TIME\u201d and be the change they want to see in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"187\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tisbest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/TisBest_Charity_Gift_Card_workout-300x187.jpg\" alt=\"A TisBest Charity Gift Card featuring a fitness-inspired design.\" class=\"wp-image-9289\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tisbest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/TisBest_Charity_Gift_Card_workout-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tisbest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/TisBest_Charity_Gift_Card_workout-768x478.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tisbest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/TisBest_Charity_Gift_Card_workout.jpg 974w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Create More Warm Fuzzies!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Join us in the movement to #RedefineGifting by replacing gifts of stuff with gifts of good.
