Coss Marte is the founder and chief executive of Conbody. It's a prison-style fitness bootcamp in New York City that hires former inmates as trainers. Coss served a seven-year sentence in New York's Lakeview prison for running a drug ring. While locked in his cell, he developed a weights-free exercise programme, lost 30 kilograms and massively lowered his risk of heart disease.
