Founder Coss Marte built ConBody's bootcamp method in a 9-by-6 prison cell and still runs its single Lower East Side studio, hiring only formerly incarcerated trainers. Small-scale angel and crowdfunded investment hasn't shifted control away from him.
The Big Picture
ConBody is still run day-to-day by founder Coss Marte, who developed its bootcamp method during incarceration and built the studio around hiring only formerly incarcerated trainers. A small seed round and a Wefunder equity-crowdfunding campaign brought in outside capital, but neither shifted operating control away from him. As a single-location studio with no employer reviews or enforcement record on file, its labor and environmental practices are thinly documented — accountability, for now, still runs through Marte himself.
