Coss Marte’s story is going to blow your mind!  You will not believe what happened to him in solitary confinement at the end of a 7-year prison sentence.  So, if you think you can’t change your circumstance or better your life, think again!   In 2009, Coss Marte was sent to jail as the ringleader of a multi-million-dollar drug operation. He was also grossly overweight and warned by his physician that his current lifestyle if left unchecked, would likely kill him.   Faced with this grim prognosis, Coss started to get in shape using the tools he had -- his prison cell and his own body weight. Within six months he lost 70 pounds and replicated his successful formula of bodyweight exercises with 20 other inmates.    Then he launched CONBODY, a prison-style boot camp that has gained over 70,000+ clients and has hired 50+ formerly incarcerated individuals to teach fitness classes.    Since the launch of his company, he’s been featured in over 200 major media outlets such as NBC, CNN, The New York Times, Men's Healt
